No, but we're working on a thing to turn people into frogs.  Oops.  I
probably wasn't supposed to tell.  Am I in trouble Trisha dear?

 What Maryland?

Well, there's this whole bunch of land between Pennsylvania and Virginia, and
some people are calling it Maryland.  They even picked a state bird and
everything!  It's the Baltimore Oriole, except that the American
Ornithologist's Union (AOU) has changed the taxonomical designation to
Northern Oriole, so I don't know what they're gonna do now.  Also their state
flower is the black-eyed susan.  It's a sassy little flower, let me tell you.


In Virginia (The Commonwealth of...) we have a saying.  It's "Sic Semper
Tyrannis."  Roughly translated it means, "I'm gonna puke!  I shouldn't have
eaten the whole dinosaur!"

Birds are descended from dinosaurs.  My bird, Astro, thinks she's a
veloceraptor.  But...I digress.
