the pigeons was augury, the ancient practice of gauging the divine will by studying the flights of birds.What a different way of regarding the world! And, before you brush the notion away on the presumption that our ancestors were all damn fools, remember that this was common practice among the Romans, those guys who built aqueducts and roads that are still in use today. People whose practical skills hold up very well against our own. Hardly damn fools.
from Frank Wilson: When Falls the Coliseum: That's What He Said: Neutrinos and a flock of pigeons
