Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

It would be awesome if the pigeons have something that allows then to hurt or kill catfish. Then it's the Battle of the Invasive Species.

Catfish are the fatasses of the aquatic world. They'll eat anything they can fit in their mouths, and even some things they cannot. There's even a picture or two floating around the interwebs that shows a catfish had attempted to eat a fully inflated basketball.

I've also seen catfish, as well as largemouth bass, go after smaller ducks as they swim on the water. They'll do the same thing to squirrels as well.
