[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2771820, member: 10461"]Wow. Before you changed the title, I thought this was going to be a discussion of dumpy little 5th century Æ coins like those of Johannes (which I often refer to as "mouse turds", though I was actively seeking a Johannes once). But that's all a thread of its own. This is neat. I was unaware of the Turdi. Here is a [I]Turdus migratorius, [/I]which is all too common around here in springtime. That has to be one of the funnier scientific names in the animal kingdom.
