That's not really encyclopaedic, but I couldn't bring myself to delete it. Especially as it put me in mind of the Fast Show "Stuck down a hole... in the fog... Stuck down a hole, in the fog, at night... WITH AN OWL!" Wardog (talk) 11:51, 10 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

I googled until I found an acceptable reference for that owl claim. Looking over the article, I discovered a lot of repetition, seemingly from some editor(s) who had not read the article closely. It was becoming a dumping ground for random remarks to which I have now attempted to bring some order. Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 08:13, 14 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
