Flipping (over) the bird

My favorite side effects of the ivory-bill discovery 0

Best local creation to emerge from the recent discovery of the ivory-billed woodpecker in Arkansas: a haircut that pays tribute. For $25, you too can sport a moussed mohawk painted red, white, and black.

Second best: the ivory-billed cheeseburger. Um ... gross.

And finally, best factoid to surface in the media hype: the former name of bird town Brinkley, Ak., is Lick Skillet.
