	Flamingo
		Flamingos (genus Phoenicopterus monotypic in family Phoenicopteridae) are gregarious wading birds, usually 3-5 feet in height, found in both the Western and Eastern Hemispheres.
		Flamingos are also noted for balancing themselves on one leg while standing and feeding.
		Notable exceptions are the flamingos in captivity, many of which turned a pale pink as they are not fed foods containing sufficent amounts of carotene.

		It was decided to reconstruct the GNAT by using the bow of H.M.S. CRICKET, which had been damaged by aircraft off Tobruk on June 30.
		With her six 4-inch guns only the Flamingo boasted an ack-ack armament worth of the name, although even these weapons were of little use against dive-bombers except in throwing up an intimidating barrage.
		On 30 June 1941 the CRICKET, in company with HMS FLAMINGO, was escorting two supply ships to Tobruk when she was heavily bombed.

		>> H.M.S. When Jenny Casino was even smaller she was always in the chorus line, waiting in the wings preparing to execute a restrained performance as a backing singer or dancer for those with the straight teeth and the slender limbs.
		At the age of three, at an infant ballet show, as all the other tu-tued starlets gracefully touched the shiny tips of their dancing pumps, little Jenny, blissfully unaware of her lack of coordination, was reaching up into the stagelights.
		She blossomed under the watchful eye of her muse, Billy Flamingo, and mastered the art of high-speed gut-rot gin guzzling.
