These are just sitting around waiting for some unsuspecting rodent to pounce on. I didnt work on the wings, maybe mine are lazy owls? Did you consider the owl's diet when you began evolving lliz?

My impression is that it's everything but the kitchen sink. (I looked on Joan's pages for an ASCII rendition of a kitchen sink, but amazingly, there isn't one there!) I should think that an owl's diet would be a lot easier on the digestive system. > > , , > )\___/( > {(@)v(@)} > {|~~~|} > {/^^^\} > `m-m` ldb nice owl.
