In an amazing confluence of linguistics and ornithology, the language of geese can now be translated into English. A microphone was planted on a goose during migration and this is what it recorded:
“Hey hey hey hey…”
We then edited the tape to find more interesting bits:
“Why are we flying into the wind? Can we simply go with the flow and fly east, not west? Can we? Hey hey hey…”
The deeper into the journey, the conversation turned more… irritable…
“…it’s not rocket science, Roger! Statistical interpolation of food supplies is a continuous function, not a discrete answer! Geez!”
