 Institute Museum, Pt. 3: H.T. Ersites
In a move worthy of Alexander Hamilton, Ersites created a central banking system for Melanerpes Von Picidae and began issuing bonds that were to be used to improve roads and pastures throughout the island.
Another secret meeting with the goat farmers led to a goat milk and cheese products "mania." The natives of Melanerpes Von Picidae filled the streets, "demanding" more goat milk, crying for more goat cheese, much to the horror of investors who had delved deep into their bank accounts and were now trading mostly on margin.
Yet the market didn’t rally quite enough to totally recoup all the losses the British oppressors had tallied up in the market instability, and they were easy prey for a number of "homebred" investment advisory "gurus" that Ersites had been carefully training all spring.

 Institute Museum, Pt. 2: H.T. Ersites
But the young American was frustrated by the natives of Melanerpes Von Picidae, who (despite their portrayal in National Geographic) seemed resigned to suffering the contemptible offenses of their English rulers.
I had long been suspicious that the elder Ersites’ stay on Melanerpes Von Picidae was anything but routine; after all, he returned only two months after the former British colony was formally granted its independence, a move that, in itself, created a tremendous amount of interest among politicos around the world.
However, recently declassified Government documents reveal that H.T. Ersites’ stay in Melanerpes Von Picidae was not merely coincident with the birth of the island’s agitations for independence; it had, for all intents and purposes, created the self-rule movement among the Von Picidaens.

 Wryneck, Birds, Wryneck, Bird Pictures, Catalog, Encyclopedia
Date : 10/15/2005 Time : 6:13:30 AM The wryneck, found throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa, is a bird classified either as a family, Jyngidae, or as a subfamily, Jynginae, in the woodpecker family, Picidae.
In both courtship and defense, wrynecks spread their long tails, erect their neck and head feathers, and jerk their heads either back and forth or side to side, hissing the entire time.
As a result of hunting and pesticides, the wryneck, Jynx torquilla, is uncommon in Europe; the African wryneck, J. ruficollis, is found south of the Sahara.
