While I don't for a moment pretend to speak for all Canadians (Mr. Robb, for instance, is more than capable of voicing his own opinions), I personally quite like seagulls. As far as Canada Geese, we didn't name them, Americans did. As Wheatfield said, they were trying to get back at us for that whole "burning down the Whitehouse during the War of 1812" thing... And, they're not Canadian Geese. They're Canada Geese. It's their name, not their nationality. <vbg> cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
