Unofficially the highest transfer fee paid for a footballer is still Dunfermline's signing of Brazilian striker Leonardo Solpao from Flamengo in 1902. Millionaire Fifer Andrew Carnegie gave the club £4.2million (about £115 million in today's money) to sign the player. He turned out to be a massive flop, scoring no goals in 7 starts for Dunfermline, before being released after only 2 months with the club.

Pigeons have an acute fear of flying and believe their wings to be a curse from the Pigeon God.

Consequently, they have developed a fatalistic culture which manifests itself in many ways, the most visible of which is standing in front of moving cars and buses simply pecking at the ground. Moreover, they have developed an aversion to the procreation of the species, which is why you will rarely see a baby pigeon.
