except North Korea has *NO* street lighting that can be seen from space. (except for pyongyang, for propaganda purposes).


While the surrounding countries have more light pollution at night since 1992, N Korea doesn't.

Having a sign asking pigeons not to excrete on the sidewalk would have been as productive as this stupid sign. Or someone change it to "Do Not Eat"

Why? I see those signs in many places, having huge flocks of birds at a station's entrance is an incredible announce and actually a health hazard as well, they are there simply because people keep pouring bird feed all over the ground there, sometimes it gets really disgusting.

I was actually going for the irony of the misspelling - and not feeding the "Wild Life" in the entertainment zone...

I just meant to say that those people that feed the birds around there are probably not going to care about a sign. And the people who would care about it aren't feeding pigeons on Granville Street.
