My rendition was meant to be a travesty of that one, an "undead" parrot as a follow-up to Dennis' "lich" post. I'm sorry I forgot the smiley ;) - He didn't move, that was just the wind stirring his plumage. - No, that parrot is alive and kicking, fresh as a daisy, full of beans... - Aren't the glass eyes beautiful? - Glass eyes -- he just blinked! And so on. I'm off to work on my laden swallow branch of Python. It's going to be a real heavy-weight... -- Always look on the dark side of death -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
