    I had two meetings today neither of which were very productive - meetings are often like that, aren't they?

  • Im conducting an experiment today. How much good luck do you receive after being shat on by a bird.

    Stewie

    There are a lot of variables to take into account here;
      The amount of crap The height the crap fell from (accuracy of bird) The size of the bird The speed of the target The size of the target The amount of witnesses etc Please can you be more precise?

    Easily 50p sized
    The crap fell a minimum of 20feet from a bird in a tree
    Average sized Male Blackbird
    Target (me) stationary.
    My right shoulder in a slightly padded jacket.
    No human witnesses, perhaps a few of his mates.

    I parked my car on the right hand side of the road and performed my usual exit procedure. While standing still next to the Drivers door I put my wallet, keys, work pass and papaya & pineapple Jordans frusli bar into various pockets and was about to proceed to fold in the passenger side mirror (I religiously fold in whichever mirror is "road side" if parked on a street), when I felt this "plop" on my right shoulder. I could just see it out of the corner of my eye and while taking my jacket off to properly confirm the event I managed to fold the collar of my jacket down into it which of course gave me two patches of a greeny/yellow excrement to remove.

    Minimal effort for the bird, I parked under him and stood still giving him enough time to line me up. Does this reduce the amount of luck I entitled to?

    Also the type of bird - an Eagle or a Flamingo must be better luck than a Pigeon for instance. Also there is the Magpie question - were you shat on by a mappie which was flying alone, with another mapgpie or in a group. One for sorrow, two for joy, three for girl ,four for boy, five for silver, six for gold, seven for secret never to be told. Hope that helps.

    What does it say about us all that the last entry in the 'Profound Observations Thread' was Nov 16th?

    (Should that post actually be in that thread? :? :wink: )

    I've been working on a profound observation, it's just that it's taken me a little longer than I expected....

    Anyhow, if a bird shit is a 50p size, is a £1 size bird shit twice as big?

    Edit: I didn't write bird shoot because I don't believe in them....what I wrote was....oh, that's not going to work is it?

    That must be worth at least 7.5g of luck. Had you or the sh!tter been moving this luck would have been increased by 10x. If both were moving (at average speed) this can be multiplied by 100x.

    Why were you standing under the sh!tter anyway - providing target practice for an aged (or juvenile) bird. Both of these could, of course, reuce the amount of luck due.

  • Spider, now I think about it, I was moving. I had probably only taken 2 or 3 steps on a grass verge toward the front of my car so I wasnt up to full speed at that point but I was on the move. Sorry for asking you to calculate it all again. I would ask for the formula but it happens so rarely and its probably well beyond me anyway :oops:

    Sorry Stewie, but moving into the drop zone of a sitting sh!tter lessens the luck by 95%. However, as you were not quite at full speed the sh!tting committe may accept an appeal.
