Ok...sure. You NEED eels at your Christmas feast. But what *else* do you need?
In 1245, Henry III ordered his sheriff at Cambridge to deliver the following to him by Christmas:
2 cranes
24 swans
10 boars & their pickled heads
50 bitterns
6 peacocks
And 10,000 eels. Of course.

Before it's taken offline, I want you to know about the NASA website where you can learn about the stratospheric ozone hole and check on how it's doing. It has cool movies like this one, showing the growth of the ozone hole during the Austral spring last year.
