" And this "may have moved our kings upon their best gold coins to set the image of an angel." (Restitution of Decayed Intelligence in Antiquities concerning ... the English Nation, p. 147.) The Angles migrated from the east of the Elbe to Schleswig (between the Jutes and the Saxons). They passed over in great numbers to Britain during the 5th century, and in time established the kingdoms of the heptarchy.

Starlings were very much hated in the dorm I inhabited as a college freshman. Starlings massed in the ivy covering the building's walls, and their continuous cawing racket went on for hours, deep into the night, loud enough to prevent sleep. Worse than a neighbor with a loud stereo. Abominable birds. The problem has since been solved in the only way found feasible: the ivy has been removed. This was at Yale. Did you Hahvahdites have the same experience 'midst your ivy-covered walls, dr. bill?

The "hardly anyone" you refer to is me. I fired in a post in hope of enlightenment, and got it: "grow two trees from one seed" now replaces "kill two birds with on stone" in my usage. Thanks to all who helped. I'm outta here now, and will leave you all to your pleasant squabbles, which I don't understand and don't want to. Cheers, Ch.S.
