FLCC> Pigeon vs FA-18 Hornet

[Jack Rueckheim]

Eric,

That's right, I can't maintain 90 km/h on my own.  This is why I'm going to
hatch an idea to arrange a WANTED interaction with a neighboring vehicle,
one going the same way as me on ringwood.  Maybe its a featherbrained idea,
but I've been brooding about it for a while and I think it can separate me
from the flock.  I just need to find a driver who will come through in the
clutch.  I tried to enlist the Asian guy who lives at the bottom of
Ringwood, but he speaks only pidgin English.  If this is successful, we
won't have to squabble over who is the fastest.  This idea dovetails with my
plan to someday win a brown birkie.  If I can pull this off, it would be a
real coo, and I can defecate all over my Statue of Limitations.

Jack

Hi Jack,

But unlike the pigeon, you probably can't hang onto a 90 km/h (Mach .07)
forward pace for an hour in the absence of unwanted interactions with
neighboring vehicles.
