Well, as a 32 year old French, I am clear handicaped here !
I bet that many other tweeters don't know this story either.

Could you tell us more about the Spruce Goose ?

BTW, though my last name is almost "8,12", i.e. huit(8) and douze(12), I have
no clue on the meaning of the Collared Dove's latin name "10,8" :-)
