Why You Don't Want A Pigeon Over Your Head, Part II

No, there really isn't a Part I, but I think you can guess what that reason would be.

According to an article from Yahoo! News, pigeons are being used to test air pollution. In August, 20 pigeons will carry a cellphone backpack with a basic phone, a GPS satellite tracking receiver, and air pollution sensors.

From the article, "Text messages on air quality will be beamed back in real time to a special pigeon "blog," a journal accessible on the Internet."

Why pigeons will be blogging information on air polution boggles my mind, but it proves information can pretty much be anywhere, even with the birds.
