All of the European Starlings found today in North America--and they number in the 200 million range--are descendants of approximately 100 birds introduced in New York City's Central Park in the early 1890s. A society dedicated to introducing into America all of the birds mentioned in the works of Shakespeare set these birds free.

You cut Sylvester in half?!!
Yes & now his name is T-bone.
I meant Ferdinand (sp?)!
I was thinking of Ferdinand the Bull but then I got it crossed with Sylvester and the Magic Pebble (which is the saddest children's story ever).
That is a common error, however we did cut Sylvester in half. He wasn't a bull, though. He was an old Italian shoe we found while digging up the foundation. Italian shoes, once cut in half, grow back into whole shoes. But surprisingly the shoes do not match.
