Chef Ramsey tells the story about walking into his 15 yr old son's bedroom and finding him gently stroking a goose.
What are you doing? said Ramsey.
Making him tender....

Hard to say what the symbolism of swans were. In northern legends ‘the seven swans’ were about a girl’s seven brothers being turned into swans and she had to save them by doing something, I forget what. Then there is the northern swan constellation in the Milky Way.

I've heard about how to get down from a duck but never how to get down with a duck.

Makes sense that God destroyed this place, literally with fire and brimstone.

By modern standards (apart from male and female teenegers’ bedroom wall posters), Romans’ taste often was in their mouths. :^)
