The unluckiest bird in the world

among other things, photographed during today's space shuttle launch.

After the Columbia disaster naturally they're nervous about pieces falling off of the shuttle, so they've got cameras all over creation, and, lo and behold, all kinds of things fall off of the shuttle when it goes up, and it also hit a bird. My impression is that this is basically the kind of thing that happens every time. You know there are going to be a lot of tense meetings about that tile on the underside, anyway.

Dum de dum .... flap, flap, flap ... la la la .... Wha? AHHHHH! *splat*

Poor critter. I'm sure it didn't have nearly that much warning. More like none. Sure am glad right now that chickens can't fly that high! Heh.

I dunno...I'd have to say that particular title is still held by the one that got nailed by a Randy Johnson fastball a few years back.
