Too funny, brilliant demonstration.

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini

That is funny. And pigeon/data card is a neat way to move data!

Not to mention it is far better network security to send everything this way. I for one have never heard of 33,000,000 TJ Max credit card numbers being stolen from a pigeon.

It might also be easier to use carrier pigeons than trying to get internet access in Canada. I've had the misfortune of setting up accounts with the country's two largest providers (Telus and Shaw) and in both cases I have been shut off at some stage and not reconnected for at least two weeks. It's 2009. In Canada. Useless c---s!!!
