Ah. Ref. edit on 31/08/07.

The line about "The King may fly a gyrfalcon, whatever the hell one of those is" was a direct lift from the book Lords and Ladies and repeats its phraseology...

Explaining what a gyrfalcon actually IS is appreciated, but the original line in the book plays on Magrat's ignorance of all things falconry-connected.... maybe if it were written as

  • The King may fly a gyrfalcon, whatever the hell one of those is (it's actually the world's largest falcon, but Magrat Garlick did not know this)

it might preserve the joke...--AgProv 16:07, 31 August 2007 (CEST)

My apologies - I shouldn't have changed it. For future reference, is there some easy way to go back in time or should I just change the page? --- Anmacon 1:13 31 August 2007
