Fwd: Re: Crows

[Dave Derenzo <dave@UIC.EDU>]

Having nothing to do with the REAL intent of this discussion, I checked 

with a friend of mine who is an animal expert.  He tells me that there are 

specied of crows that are not all black.  In particular, he mentioned 

African Pied Crows, which are half black and half white.  So much for the 

metaphor.
