If Timothy's female, why is she referred to as "he"? Randee15 21:26, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Timothy was not renamed when it was discovered he was a she, and the owners continued to call Timothy a he. I followed their usage. I guess either way sounds odd since they kept the male name. fabiform | talk 19:43, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Famous notorious animal

there is some famous animal, i think a cat that was supposed to catch for rats, that first lived on a german ship, then several USS ships in WWII that all sank. I know there is an article on it, but i can't remember! We can start with a new category called [[Category:Notorious war animals]]>. --~~~~

[edit] motto

It is somewhat unrelated, but is this motto accurate (where have i fallen, what have i done )? Seems pretty strange to me...

Apparantly it comes from an ancestor, who was imprisoned in the tower of london? I'm getting this from here: http://www.webcom.com/scourt/
It mentions the motto and follows it with: Inscribed by Edward Courtenay while imprisoned in the Tower of London, circa 1546. --Starwed 16:13, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
