There's a word you'd like to know, break it up in bits like so

Hmm. I was about to post the following poll:

Poll

Except it turns out that Wikipedia has a much longer list of stories. And their list doesn't include Peregrine Falcon (which I haven't seen anyway - maybe it belonged in a different series?)

memories, silly questions, polls

All this new fangled moving pictures and voices-from-a-box technology passed my little village school by; I remember we had a bookclub where we collected owls (in stickers) to get those, but that was the learning experience as far as reading was concerned.

Collecting owls inofthemselves to get books would not be quite so practical, even the tiniest of owls is a lot of time and energy to devote to in looking after while you try and collect enough to get a book, unless like Futurama the owls have become a pest, or a new breed of micro owls rises up to demand that they be used as currency for a new generation of bookworms or the pound crashes and owls become the go-to-backup when it's discovered that their beaks contain precious amounts of owlonioum....

Ooh, yes, we did owl stickers too. I'd forgotten about that.

Owls are rapidly becoming a pest. Everything in the shops seems to be owl-themed at the moment!

Perhaps owls the new Christmas must have? Are people all burnt out on penguins as Christmas themed avians that an alternative feathered substitute opportunity has opened up in the market and like lemmings the business world is scrabbling to supply their needs with the owl!

New for christmas the owl-toaster oven, burn shapes of a variety of owls using the handy metal plates into your choice of toasted cheese sandwich!

If it's an owl-toaster oven, I wanna toast owls in it, dammit!

Actually that yellow round thing in the link/picture looks haunting familiar...
