The Absurd Bureau

An experiment

A serious committee for ridiculous problems.

In progress. This is a static starting draft. Voting is not open, the committee is not writing, and nothing here is saved.

Season 00 · Placeholder

The pigeons have unionized

Placeholder problem. The municipal pigeons will only pose for statues that include dental benefits, and the square is running out of plinths.

Chaos Meter

37 · placeholder

The meter does not move yet. It is a picture of where a season could stand.

Avenue 1

Smaller statues

Placeholder avenue. Offer monuments the pigeons can agree are less grandiose.

Not a vote. Choosing is not wired up.

Avenue 2

A seat on the committee

Placeholder avenue. Appoint one pigeon, with speaking rights and no veto.

Not a vote. Choosing is not wired up.

Avenue 3

Studied inattention

Placeholder avenue. Pretend the union is a trick of the light until the season ends.

Not a vote. Choosing is not wired up.

Professor Pemberton

Placeholder minute. Pemberton would argue that a union of pigeons is still a committee, and committees are solved by smaller agendas.

Deputy Gloom

Placeholder minute. Gloom would note that the pigeons already have the square, and dental benefits are cheaper than a new plinth.
