about the turkey: according to this article, the poor turkey wasn't even in the running, and franklin wrote his bird letter to his daughter two years after the eagle had been selected by the seal committee. i love history, with all its intricate twists. i suppose george washington didn't actually chop down the cherry tree, either. 🙂
