Catch The Pigeon, West Ryde. 66 likes 1 was here. Graphic Design / print and digital advertising. Dick Dastardly and Muttley, the villains from Wacky Races, are now World War I flying aces and members of the Vulture Squadron, a crew of flying aces presumably working for Germany and Central Powers on World War I and on a mission to stop a messenger pigeon named Yankee Doodle Pigeon from delivering top-secret messages to an opposing army (seemingly American and/or Triple Entente).

The internet can be a strange and confusing place — especially when your whole childhood is ripped from your grasp in a heartbeat. This time, we’re heading way back to the ’70s to watch Dick Dastardly and Muttley try and ‘catch’ the pigeon.

As a spin-off of the famous Wacky Races, the Hanna-Barbera cartoon had the villainous duo join a squad of flying aces known as the Vulture Squadron. It was their job to stop Yankee Doodle Pigeon from delivering messages to the other side.

In classic style of that era, the villains (almost) never won. If you asked anyone what the show is called, chances are they’d say Catch the Pigeon — thanks to the catchy theme tune. Sorry guys, we’ve been wrong for the past 50 years.

If you actually rewatch the intro for Catch the Pigeon, the lyrics involve the Vulture Squadron trying to “stop the pigeon”. If you don’t believe us, seriously, check out the video.

It’s actually of Mass Memory Discrepancy Effect. For those who don’t know, it is a condition where wrong information is relayed so many times, the general public believe it’s the truth.

Examples of this are when movie lines are incorrectly quoted. Another example is in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. The legendary line of “Luke, I am your father” is actually, “No, I am your father.”

The plot thickens thanks to a BBC link for “Catch the Pigeon – Dastardly & Muttley”. Clicking the site will take you through to a dead page…hmmm.

If you still don’t believe us, there’s even a Reddit thread dedicated to it. One person says that the Swedish translation says “fånga duvan” (catch), but then edits their post to confirms the song now says “stoppa duvan” (stop). Did it ever say “catch the pigeon”? Who really knows?

It’s a weird state of affairs, especially considering the show is actually called Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines. The whole show was released on DVD in 2005 and included all 17 episodes.

Ironically, there is an episode called “Stop That Pigeon”, which can be found in the first segment of the fifth episodes.

I don’t really know where I watched Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines, but I vaguely remember seeing it on Saturday mornings I think. Now you know the real truth, go out and ask your mates. I guarantee most of your mates will think it was called Catch the Pigeon.

There are 9 rooms in the warehouse; 3 rooms in 3 rows.

The corner rooms have the power circuit panels. Go to each corner room and overload the power markedby red electric symbols inside a circle.

This will deactivate the 4 lasers guarding thesapphire that is located at the center room.
