Quoth the raven

I'm cleaning off my desk at the moment (a gargantuan task) and have been thumbing through some of the publications that get left in my mailbox in the process.

And I had to share this article, about how a dearth of ravens may spell England's downfall (and that of the Tower of London).

My favorite part:

“It'll be raven crazy,” Ms. Steventon said.

The birds' lifting feathers are trimmed to ensure a prolonged stay (although, with a daily diet of six ounces of raw meat and bird biscuits soaked in blood, what sane raven would ever leave?).
