Irene Ries alerted us to the story about the House Sparrow in the Netherlands that was shot for disrupting a domino contest. For those of you who have Comcast Internet, they are running the story today at "Dead Bird Overshadows Domino World Record" _http://www.comcast.net/news/strange/index.j sp?cat=STRANGE&fn=/2005/11/18/267449.html_ (http://www.comcast.net/news/strange/index.jsp?cat=STRANGE&fn=/2005/11/18/267449.html) but what is really interesting is that they are showing a picture of it on their home page _http://www.comcast.net/explore.html_ (http://www.comcast.net/explore.html) (watch for it to scroll through to "Week in Weird"). Actually the picture shows a row of dominoes and a White-throated Sparrow! Wendy Ealding
