Nov 27, 2009: Pigeon Express

This data transfer method has actually been documented for years in RFC 1149, "A Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers".

The data loss for pigeons taken by hawks was not considered in the original RFC. Perhaps they should contact the Internet Engineering Task Force.

It looks like 1GB per packet (in this example). But the lag time is pretty bad.
