Thank you for this convenient list of terms. Very well done.

Also, I wonder if these birds, like the cormorants on leashes, were missing their heads because they refused to fish for their Chinese owners after their owners placed rings around their necks so they couldn't swallow their catch.

"You too tired to fish... Off with your head." I seem to recall that PBS has some interesting videoes of this kind of fishing in action. I think it was a little slower than using the Australian dynamite-in-the-water technique.

Umm, that's supposed to be a joke, right?
