"Divining omens from the flight of birds wasn't specific to Tiresias,

therefore was late Bronze Age). Our own word "auspices" comes from
the Latin "avem specere" = "to see the bird."


Is there anything that you don't know, Richard?

  You blow me away and I say that without a trace of post modern irony and
