[Sca-cooks] More fun with geese... somewhat OT...

[Saint Phlip]

Mine are domestic geese, 'Lainie. The Romans have been domesticated
for at least 2000 years- not sure about the Chinese. Their wings are
too short and their bodies are too heavy. With a running start, a tail
wind, and a lot of motivation they can clear a 5 ft fence- when
scared, some have been known to glide half a mile, but basicly the
domesticated geese can't fly.
