Is it true that Pigeons explode if you feed them aspirin in bread?

[LURCH]

If thats true i can see a lot of forum members trying that. Damn where did i put those asprin.

[stormforce]

i thought it was bicarb in a bit of bread that done that

[captain_chaos]

yeah bi carbonate is a lot better, works on seagulls.

[stormforce]

just make sure your not sat under the gulls when they go pop

it is yes as i know of people many years ago doing it

[captain_chaos]

Bloke I worked with managed to get it to work. Got some chips and covered them in the bicarbonate. It was the last time he was asked to stop the seagulls from landing around the port

Calcium carbonate is the one (alledgedly) used in old bicycle lights and caving lights. gives of acetylene when it gets wet, I think.

[stormforce]

people used to put some on a piece of bread and then fold it in half and throw it up in the air for them to catch

[24Seven]

It all stems from the Surf Camp Over, when after a large amount of alcohol, I spoke in great authority out pushing over sleeping cows and then Nikki declared she was a Country Vet

as i am a holder of all useful facts about alot of $$$$...

seagulls are the best birds to do it to, for extra effect soak a bit of bread in vinegar and add either bi carb or an alkaseltzer, the alkaseltzer works a bit better as it is a tablet. fols the bread and the gulls fight over ti and the pill is eaten this is a bit like russian roulette!! the reason why is that the gulls have a complex digestive tract the restricts them farting and they have no way of knowing how to burp so the gases have to go somewhere and it overpressurises the body and KABOOM SPLAT

quite comical actually - especially when drunk!!!

p.s. cow tipping is also awesome - has anyone sen the movie cars when they do an adaptation of it!!! pmsl!!

Alka Seltzer is what we used to feed the seagulls when we were fishing. Put one of the tabs in bread and watch them go pop. They have no way of expelling gas. Whilst they are swelling up you can fire your boilies in.
