Personally, I liked Asterault's description of it in the beginning. A chicken. It conjurs up all kinds of possibilities, and smiles. Puns are very good. They give us a lot of room for creating our own image. Like mine, of the French Foreign Legion.

Sorry Aster if I misread your posts

Hmmm.....did Torrente relocate to France and get a job as a prison guard?

ok, well, rooster, chicken, doesn't really matter does it? Neither are the most intelligent animals of the bunch are they? I read an article on the prison.. the guards also have way many more people to look after then they should, but hey! To break the law in France. Well now we know where to go! ;P

ok, so France= rooster(chicken...whatever)and Spain= ?. Is it the lion??

Lion? El Toro for España! I believe the lion is for England? Or is it Switzerland? Although I always think of a goat for Switzerland, the alps and all...

oh...i guess that I was thinking about the lion on the coat of arms, for Leon and Castilla...oops :o

All this animal talk has got me thinking: Which came first, the rooster or the chicken; the lion or the bull? I figure with all the know-it-alls on this board, we ought to be able to get to the bottom of this post-haste. :p
