The French have a word which contradicts itself. "Craven" is a French word which means both screamingly funny and deadly dull. "May pure white pigeons always nest in the beams of your house", This was the traditional blessing of Ali bin Abu Talib, the son-in-law and successor of the Prophet Muhammad. Shortly after Ali's death, thousands of pure white pigeons took up their abode in the vicinity of his grave and have been there ever since. The pigeons rigorously policed the precincts of the mosque. Should a pigeon with a single black feather attempt to join the flock, the white pigeons drive it away. Believe It or Not!
