Have you? They’re _birds_. Relatively small ones at that. I have never understood this urban myth of geese being angry and dangerous and stuff. They’re tiny little balls of feather and food with rounded bills. They couldn’t do you harm if you stuffed them with crash and taped razorblades to them. They’re _demonstrably_ harmless little psychos. Sorry, but this just annoys me too much when people perpetuate this nonsense. There’s _no_ reason to be worried about something that can’t harm you, yet you can punt halfway across a hangar with ease. ---

Yeah. I have. Vicious, spiteful things. And no, something that has no compunctions about throwing 5kg of mass at your _head_ is not harmless or tiny. ---

> [@Keno\_Skir](#): > > Fleet, is the word you’re looking for. Applies to ships of whatever sort and implies a certain level of organization. (Also, hyper-specific collective nouns are a bit of silly, clever fun to start with. You can say “a flock of crows” instead of “a murder,” but it’s less specific and maybe a bit less fun.) ---
