According to wiki, the Black Falcon "is a medium-large falcon that lives only in Australia, though it has recently been spotted in Chapel Hill, NC."

This needs to be corrected to:
"is a medium-large falcon that lives only in Australia, though it has recently become extinct in Chapel Hill, NC."

I would not normally post deliberate garbage on wiki, but since someone else started it - well I just had to finish it :D I wouldn't be "Windsor" if I didn't!

It was changed to be correct, so I won't mess with it. We have the screen shot for posterity! :9f:

That's too bad. I saw a comment at the end of the real Wiki entry that's prime for PH allusions. Apparently the Black Falcon is not known for defending its own nest. Now the question arises: was PH aware of this when he chose to dub himself The Black Falcon? Was he stating at the outset that he did not play defense? O:-)
