Using Carrier Pigeons for Communication in Antiquity
Racing pigeons are descended from the Rock Dove, and the earliest recorded reference to the use of messenger pigeons comes from Ramses III (c1200 BC) when they were used to convey news between cities regarding the flood state of the Nile.

Egyptian Columbarium for pigeon breeding, a mosaic from Palestrina, first century BCE.
'By the eighth century B.C., Greeks were using pigeons to send the results of Olympic Games from town to town. Genghis Khan used pigeons to create a communication network across his empire in 12th century A.D.' (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/05/science/pigeons-a-darwin-favorite-carry-new-clues-to-evolution.html?hpw, accessed 02-04-2012).
'The story of Noah in the Bible describes one of the earliest uses of the pigeon as a messenger. Noah sent the pigeon from the ark to see if the deluge was over. It was sent a few times before it came back with a branch of an olive tree in its beak, which proved to Noah that the waters had begun to subside. There are even earlier writings, such as the Sumerian ‘Epic of Gilgamesh’, that also include a story about a great flood and how a pigeon played the role of a messenger.
'Tablets, found in Mesopotamia (areas around Iraq and Iran of today), as well as Egyptian hieroglyphics, suggest that pigeons were being domesticated by both civilizations already around 3000 BCE. Eventually, in time, they learned how to use their homing instincts for communication purposes. For example the Egyptians would release pigeons in order to announce, to the people, the rise of a new pharaoh.
'There are records that indicate that Phoenician merchants used to take pigeons on their ships during their business trips in the Mediterranean and would let them go whenever they needed to release information about their business tours.
'The Greeks used carrier pigeons to release the results of the Olympic games and to send messages about victories in their battle fields.
'Frontinus, the Roman writer, tells about the use of carrier pigeons by Julius Caesar. There are documents about the existence of columbarium in Rome that contained over 5000 pigeons.

'Conquerors throughout history, such as Hannibal and Genghis Khan, also used pigeon-post as a communication network.
'The added value for using pigeons as message carriers in the ancient world was quite significant.
'When compared to other means of long distance communication in ancient times, such as smoke, drums and human messengers, pigeon carriers provided a more private and discrete way of transferring messages' (https://wysinfo.com/doves-and-pigeons-in-history/)

Probably Shouldn’t Look
There is this soup company that came up with a pretty good prank for their microwavable soup line.
It’s based on microwaves that have an automatic turnstile coupled with a certain mesh of a certain hole size.
If you have both of these, while the cup spins around, viewed through the mesh, it will be like a primitive cartoon.
For kids, this is where it stops, as it’s based in their brainwaves.
But for adults, it will have a completely different effect.
Trash Mail Conspiracy
There’s this trash truck driver and a manager a local post office who have teamed up to prank people.
The guy picks up the trash, but he saves some of it.
Then he meets his post office buddy at lunch in a vacant lot behind an out of business strip mall filled with squatters and heroin addicts.

Clay Pigeons
These guys went out to shoot skeet.
They underestimated how much skeet they’d were shoot, and were done before lunch.
On the way to the sporting goods store to buy some more clay pigeons, they saw a guy coming out of a donut store with a large box of day old donuts that he was going to throw in the dumpster.
So they used the day old donuts instead of clay pigeons.
This, of course, attracted a bunch of real pigeons.
When they were done shooting donuts they started shooting real pigeons.
Watch Out For This Guy
There’s a very evil hypnotist that likes putting in some wicked post hypnotic suggestions.
He doesn’t like people, and people don’t like him, but he is a very powerful hypnotist.
And the post hypnotic suggestion only works if they go down a slide of any kind.
Infinite Slide
As soon as they start to feel their downward movements, due to the pull of gravity, this triggers the effect.
Their perception of time is significantly altered.
So when they get to the bottom of the slide, they have an experience of taking an infinite amount of time going down the slide.
Usually this means permanent brain damage.
Particularly troubling is if this happens on a water slide.
If they get to the bottom, and have gone insane, without any awareness of who they are, after experiencing temporary infinity, they just sit at the bottom of the pool.
Cat Food
After they shot a bunch of real pigeons, they sold them to a cat food factory.
They got a dollar per pigeon, which more than covered the cost of the free donuts.
They package up the trash, and send it to random people around the country.
The post office manager does this without needing to pay for postage, and without the mailed garbage being traceable.
So if you’ve ever received some used banana peels in the mail, now you know why.
Unfortunately, there’s not much you could do.
If you called the cops and said somebody had mailed you some used banana peels, they might put you in the loony bin.

Where Am I?Nested Amnesia
But for adults, the result is three seconds of complete amnesia.
They stand their for three full seconds not knowing who they are or what they are doing.
But then once they amnesia passes, they forget that they’ve had amnesia.
There’s just at three second blank in their mind that they can’t account for.
So, a the end of the day, when they’re trying to account for those missing three seconds, it creates another round of amnesia.
This makes them sleepy, and while they are sleeping, their time accounting system is re-programmed so don’t remember any of this.
They don’t even remember eating the soup.
