You know that old adage "Why don't we ever see baby pigeons"? Who knew manta's were the same?!

There are more things in heaven and earth, and under the sea, then ever I dreamt of.
I'm paraphrasing of course. But it's nice to know, how much we don't know!

That is actually one of my favorite quotes!

That's so cool! I wonder why China winds up with so many medicinal myths.

I hate pigeons they leave such a mess behind and are not too swift. Mantas are clean and graceful to watch. I have always loved to watch Mantas swim and have seen them in person at G.A. Last I heard they are being protected from being slaughtered in G.O. California.

@Rispa - China is an ancient culture, I guess it's hard to transition into the 21st century.

@Tang - I don't know why bridge chickens gets such a bad rap! And don't forget one of the names for the manta is "Devilfish". It's all a matter of perception I suppose.
