Strange Car Collision

[42]

So this is one the stranger car collision I've heard about.

My parents were coming back from St. George going at about 80 mph. It was during one of the long stretches of scenic Utah when they heard a loud thud. They then noticed that people were staring and pointing at their car. So the pulled over. On the driver side of the door there was a perfect impression of a pigeon.

So I saw the impact site the pigeon left on the side door. I looks like a fossil of a pigion. You can make out the feet, eye, and individual feathers.

So in the battle of SUV v.s. pigeon. The SUV wins.

That is quite odd.  I feel bad for the poor SUV; pigeons are among the more stupid animals around and deserve what they get if they fly into an SUV with that kind of force.

Just.... wow.

The bird flew into the SIDE of the car? Yeah, that is strange... I can see a dent from the front (if there's a flat surface to not skip off of) but from the side it shouldn't matter if it was going 80 miles an hour or 8. Very odd.

strong pigeon
maybe it hit at an angle.

[Entsuropi]

Maybe the pigeon was a metal one created by a mad mastermind to control the world, or at least the bread-rich world.

so you're saying Jeffe is trying to kill Fell's parent with avian robotics?

[Spriggan]

umm, SE, that was 42 who made the post, not Fell.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

Oh he knows, 42's parents were just part of phase 2

eh, if he's foolish enough to design robotic minions that crash into the sides of cars when going after their targets, I figure he can get the wrong person's parents.

They're lucky it didn't hit the front, they wouldn't have a windshield no more.  Not to mention a high risk of pigeon to the head at speeds in excess of 80 miles an hour...

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

That was just a test pigion for a set of test parents the real one should be very effective.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

spoken in true mad genius fashion

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

Imagine 5 pounds of shaped pigeon charge hitting your side door at 30 miles an hour

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

MY side door? the one made of a reinforced alloy that no known explosive can penetrate?

Or the side door of Fell's or 42's parents?

I think if we tried this test out some more, the pigeon might pull out a couple of wins. One test is not enough.

What we need is one of those tornado cannons, an SUV, and a crate full of pigeons. Anyone willing to donate any of these items to me should do so.
