Birds have great names. The Double-banded Pygmy-Tyrant. The Pitt Island Shag. The Carbonated Sierra-Finch.

The author of Semi-Plausible Birds has also blessed us with implausible birds, because we could all use a little less plausibility in our lives.

This got me wondering: is twitter turing complete? I like the idea that all we truly need is Twitter to store all of humanity's data and perform any and all possible computations.

What does that mean, exactly? Tweets aren't executable, but can certainly link to executable code or contain phrases that could be compiled or interpreted. I once saw a paper discussing how botnets could scan twitter for particular tweets linking to GitHub gists containing new instructions, for instance.

The Metalic Starling is very angry looking. I am worried what that bird may do. I feel that it may be an agent of Skynet.
