Yeah, read about that myself years back. She was given a wooden leg so she could stand on her own, and a gold medal.

Cher Ami Saved 200 Men During World War I — She Was Also A Pigeon

She became one of the most decorated pigeons of World War I.

Just wanted to add this to the record... Cher Ami was registered to the US Army Corps as a female pigeon, the Smithsonian called Cher Ami a male pigeon however... and thus for a century it has been up in the air on which was correct.

DNA testing was recently done in the past year to settle the issue (a frequent thing for many bird spieces, as DNA is often the only tell on a bird's sex if they aren't actively laying eggs)... Cher Ami was a male pigeon. The Smithsonian guessed right, the US Army Signal Corps guessed wrong.

He? She? Or just plain Cher Ami? Solving a century-old pigeon mystery

americanhistory.si.edu

Through modern DNA analysis, the century-old mystery of the famed pigeon’s sex has recently been determined by a team of curators and scientists. This question has now been definitively answered: the Smithsonian has conclusively identified Cher Ami as male.

@Beef Invictus tell us about the time you saw the Hero Bird.

I have seen Cher Ami

We got some pigeons and you wouldn't believe how those guys genderbend. We've had a male gay couple hatching an egg and I'm afraid to ask the necessary questions.

Actually we didn't. The middle-aged male whom we voted for PM f***ed up and had to resign. This one was an internal choice of one party.

The party that was in charge of forming the government after the elections. But I digress. We obviously have a different view of her tenure so far and we can merrily agree to disagree. And indeed get back to hockey -- mea culpa. I just thought that pic was funny.

Actually this was little to do with her. She's not the first nor the second PM "elected" by one party and rubber-stamped in by other parties, after the actual election-time party chair ditched the office, and at least in her case it wasn't an elections preparation move.

Agreed. And if you look at the other four parties in the government, three of them went in the 2019 elections with a leader in their mid 30s, so there is actually a point to make that there's a bit of a youth movement going on nowadays -- if you can call mid 30s that. [And when old man Rinne fell ill back then, Marin as the vice chair took charge of that election campaign, so there's half a point to make about her party too.]

All I remember is that I managed to plow through Leino's translation until I got to Heaven, at which point I zzzzzed.

Common complaint I understand. There's only so much you can describe the eternal bliss of hanging around Jesus and some magical orbs of light, while there are literally no limits in imagining eternal (or at least moderately lenghty) torments for people you don't like, including the ones who were actually still alive when Dante wrote them in Hell.

My preferred pronoun is y'all. For literally every case.

That, or one. Makes one sound much more reputable.

As a matter of fact, I PREFER ONE OVER THEY. THEY BEING USED FOR AN INDIVIDUAL SOUNDS WAY TOO FU^KING GERMANIC.

English is classified as a Germanic language, you know...
