Why cant he just answer the questions ‘yes or no’ and then why. i hate reading this whole spill on pigeons when he can just say ‘i dont know’. I go to bored.com to find something to do, like read this. but even this is boring me!
So, the column bored you, but if he had just said “I don’t know” that would have been exciting? 
I assume you’re talking about Why do pigeons bob their head?, although you may be talking about Where are all the baby pigeons?…I just wonder, if you didn’t want to read “this whole spill on pigeons” why click on a link to a question about pigeons? Especially when there’s sixty bazillion other questions you could have looked at.

Perhaps you’ll like this column better.
I was always fond of this one as well.
Yes, and thank you for registering just to tell us that, instead of clicking the little “x” in the upper right corner of the window, and returning to your regularly scheduled drooling.
