Harriet was reportedly collected by Charles Darwin during his 1835 visit to the Galápagos Islands and Peter Finch starred in the movie Network. This is/was, without doubt, the most difficult [jigsaw] puzzle you've given to date!  |

687 is an international phone code -21, 165 are numbers denoting latitude and longitude Avis habilis, is a term used to denote animals that are not only tool users but also tool makers, like our early ancestor Homo habilis. Son of the Dragon = Brandon Lee, who was killed on a movie set. |
