Of course, there are more than 360 ways to go. That's just an arbitrary chopping up of our experience of the world. In reality, there are infinite directions in which to travel--even in a two dimensional framework. The "circle" which we divide into 360 degrees exists only in two dimensions. Add to it the third dimension-- make it a sphere of potentiality, and it's still infinite, but could it contain an even larger infinity of possible directions in which to travel? And what about time? That's often considered the fourth dimension, so if we add that bit of flavor to our pigeon's casserole of potentiality, then it's no wonder he's just sitting there not doing anything. The enormity of the decision paralyzes him!

It's nice to know even pigeons struggle with buyer's remorse. I can relate. I shouldn't have bought the 54 inch! The 48 was big enough! Now I have to walk through my living room doorway sideways! It's a good thing I didn't go to clown school after high school. Imagine being a clown in this economy! Yikes.

Poor little birdy. I can relate.
