Barnacle Geese

[graydown]

The barnacle is named for the barnacle goose. No one in medieval Europe had ever seen a baby barnacle goose (because these geese migrate to the Arctic to breed), but they had found strange looking crustaceans clinging to driftwood. Being medieval scholars, they concluded that barnacles were a kind of fruit that grew into barnacle geeseIn other news

Miles knows NOTHING about Bothari. At least, not anything to shoot him over. And Bothari is like the air Miles breathes - always been there, never really thought about. By the time that changes, well....

And both Aral and Cordelia have their own, separate, reasons for not having him executed.

I hadn't realized that -- now I'm looking forward to seeing him find out. >:P
