"A neighbour came over shouting, ‘Don’t move that rock. You’ll kill the fairies’.”

Barney Fwank is outraged! Outraged, I tell you!

How come people believe in demons, but not fairies?

This is just not right, almost as bad as the spotted owl and snail darters.

ya dinna want ta mess with the Bane Sidhe (pronounced "banshee")

They're not "mild wee little folk." When pissed off, like when their homes are threatened, they'll rip your lungs out, Marcus.

Now, if you could borrow the Faerie Flag of the Macleods you might not die, but if a non Macleod were to touch the flag they'd instantly disappear in a nasty explosion.

Say, do you think there's any way we could quick move that rock and drop it somewhere near Osama?

The fairies are no big deal, but you really don't want to piss of the Artesians. They are harder to find, but anyone who puts shovel to earth must be aware of them and their needs, or there will be hell to pay.

Because demons are mentioned in the Bible.

VILLAGERS who protested that a new housing estate would “harm the fairies” living in their midst have forced a property company to scrap its building plans and start again.

We have the same problem in Sacramento the area between 17th and 29th Streets from J Street down to Capitol Mall. They even have their own little bars and restaurants.

I could see this were it a construction project in San Francisco.

There's lots of fairies in the forest there.......
