Swan Song -- According to Wikipedia, the term "'Swan song' is a reference to an ancient belief that the Mute Swan (Cygnus olor) is completely mute during its lifespan, but may sing one heartbreakingly beautiful song just before it dies. However, it has also been known since antiquity that this belief is false; 'mute' swans are not actually mute during life -- they produce snorts, shrill noises, grunts, and hisses -- and they do not sing as they die." Well, after nearly eleven years of snorts and grunts, and without any heartbreakingly beautiful song to herald the occasion, this website went belly up on Wednesday, August 1, 2007. Bye-bye, and thanks! -- Rick
