“Fly little starling. Fly, fly, fly.” ~ Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs (via Ted Tally, via Thomas Harris)

  1. I was just reading a fascinating piece about this in Dawkins new book, ‘Greatest Show on Earth’; about how programmers have learned to recreate similar behavior by implementation of complicated local rule sets for each individual ‘bird’, which then builds up into these seemingly pre-choreagraphed dances.

    Fascinating stuff.
