Great post, enjoyed it!

Note, however: Your inclusion of a wackiness from Ithaca invokes Freep Rule #48: "Articles about Ithaca must include mention that Ithaca is the City of Evil", see here for details.

Sorta like the rule (#47?) that says that all posts mentioning Ann Coulter must be accompanied by a flattering photo of the lass.

Ithaca,NY : If Cornell University ecologist Josh Donlan has his way , the presence of African wildlife in Kansas – and other parts of the Great Plains-would become unremarkable. In an article published in “Nature” , Mr. Donlan calls for the “Rewilding” of the Great Plains of North America with free-ranging African lions, cheetahs,elephants ,etc. Astute readers of Nature will probably note Donlan does not advocate the introduction of large African predators to the Finger Lakes area of New York- where Cornell University is located.

Ithaca is the City of Evil.
