Forget about global warming; I'm more concerned about the fact that we're all living in a giant aviary with an endless supply of 'natural fertilizer' raining down on us

How the hell can they poop white on black cars and black on white cars? They're screwing with us on purpose.

Cause if they pooped on cars of the same colour, it would be harder for them to see and keep score of course!

Seems like there's on average about 10,000 commercial aircraft in the air at a given time. If we take a 737 as the average (there are bigger and smaller) then arbitrarily add a bit for non-commercial that's very approximately a million tonnes in the air.

I think it's a joke about the poop currently falling to the ground.

I don't think there are a few tons of bird poop falling at any given time

Also 100% of all farts, ever. Your breathing farts right now. Human farts, animal farts, bird farts. Farts all the way down.
