“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Oh come on! There were millions of passenger pigeons, their flocks literally darkened the skies! Come, sample the true flavor of extinction!Originally posted by Captain ******* Kirk View PostYour wife beat me to the best answer. The dodo must have been pretty damn delicious to have been hunted to extinction so quickly.

They weren't naturally that numerous and it was only because of land clearances (first by natives burning forests in order to make more grassland so they would have more deer to hunt but later by white colonists clearing land to farm) that their population took off. Basically it was a classic boom and bust population cycle and the sign of a really unbalanced ecology so it isn't surprising that hunting pressure combined with a natural bust cycle was enough to push the passenger pigeon into extinction.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

The Wikipedia page for dodo says that Dutch sailors preferred the taste of pigeon to dodo, so I think you've made the wiser choice.Originally posted by The Mad Monk View Post

In the game, as an early 16th century adventurer, you may 'discover' dodos, Steller's Sea Cows, passenger pigeons, giant sloths, quaggas, and, in the high arctic, woolly mammoths.Originally posted by Dinner View Post

I liked playing Cities of Gold on C64 back in the day. It let you explore strange new lands, meet people from exotic cultures... And then exterminate them all in the quest for gold!

In Unchartered Waters: New Horizons, the only fighting is between various European patriots, pirates, and Turks... similar type of fighting to Sid Meier's Pirates.There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.Comment

Oerdin's beaten me to it. Steller's sea cow. It was a herbivore, so no risk of mercury poisoning like with whales or dolphins.Graffiti in a public toilet
