June 2nd, 2024 was a strange day indeed. It was on this day that a flock of pigeons was seen carrying a wheel of cheese into the London sky. Witnesses reported seeing over 100 city pigeons struggling to lift an entire 5 pound wheel of extra sharp cheddar high above Big Ben under the noonday sun. Try as they might, the wheel proved too heavy for the birds to lift in a coordinated manner. After several unsuccessful attempts at taking flight that saw the cheese slipping from their grasp, the pigeons reportedly began to argue loudly and divebomb each other with feces. Just when all hope seemed lost, an enormous seagull flew into view. With a mighty swoop, it snatched the cheese from the disgruntled pidgeons and carried it off singlehandedly in the direction of the River Thames. Whether for a personal snack or simply to assert dominance, the precise motives of this heroic yet cheeky gull remain a mystery to this day. When historians look back on the events of June 2nd, 2024, the words "flying cheese heist" are sure to come up. It was truly a day for the peculiar annals of London town.
