Our favorite newspaper in the whole world, the NY Post (sorry NY Times, you’re just not Arial Boldy enough) has a problem. Namely, the geese population that nearly killed 155 people in last week’s unbelievable Miracle on the Hudson plane landing. You better sleep with one eye open, geese, because the Post wants your head.
It turns out, birds get caught in airplane engines every day. Engines are designed to withstand the impact of hitting these flying killer machines, however that only goes for birds up to 4 pounds. Geese happen to tip the scales at a nearly Thanksgiving feastish 12 pounds. And their overpopulation of the area surrounding Laguardia is leading some, specifically hilarious headline writers, to speculate that the birds need to be killed.
OPEN THREAD TIME! What do you think should happen to these creatures?
Here’s my idea: Kill all surrounding airport geese and turn them into a tasty on-board snack! Title suggestion? Clearly:
Geese’s Pieces.
However, if you disagree with my viewpoint (to reiterate: That geese are blood-thirsty, beak-seeking murderbirds) then feel free to print out this handy, original BWE.tv bumper sticker:
