I must have led a very shelterd life, I have never, knowingly, met a
pretzel. American or otherwise.

Hehee. Can I have a pint of what you've been drinking please :)
Terminal or natural ? I mean after or before the 12bore ?

Paper ? Whazat ? This message is from the dontusenet.notyetnewsgroups
of the 31st century and is due to arrive with you last week.
Do you mean a sparrow or a crane ?
Or a Sparrows Crane ? http://www.sparrowsoffshore.com/
ok ok, I'll be the straight guy (please no ribaldry) :-
I don't know, what is the airspeed of an unladen sparrow ?
Or, perhaps the following will proof the answer :
Kinetic energy of bird, E = 1/2(m*v^2)
where m=mass of sparrow and v is its velocity.
from Einstein we have
E=m*c^2
Thus, substituting for E we get:
1/2(m*v^2)=m*c^2
or, transposing,
m*v^2=2*m*c^2
cancelling m and taking sqr.roots we get :
v=(sqrt2)*c
showing that the sparrow must be travelling at 1.412,,, times the
speed of light. (square root of 2 at
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/htmltest/gifcity/sqrt2.1mil
to 1 million digits.)
but we all know that that is irrational ( as well as e, sparrow pie,
and a few others)
Therefore sparrows must have invented the infinite improbability drive
before the,
errum, now who was it ,
goes to computer to look up the answer,,,
42 ! No that can't be right !
Goes to Borg cube to find out which race was #42
and am never seen again :(
