In the "me too" category, I've seen a company install wireless on top of
the Netherland's highest building (The Rembrandt's tower), which included
using a lightning arrestor, and not ground it.
It only took 3 storms (and 3 wireless cards) before they finally decided
to ground the thing, and at the time, they weren't that cheap either :)

God devised pigeons as a means of punishment for man. Probably after
the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrha he wanted to make sure that people
would never again feel comfortable enough in a city to repeat the sins
committed there, and he created the pigeons as a means to make the city
dwellers' lives more miserable, as a constant reminder of their past sins.
