Santa-Claus hat heute in seinem Gedächtnis gekramt und einen Fehler im Christmas-Song 'Twelve Days of Christmas' gefunden - ich finde der ist zumindest interessant:

Die "4 calling birds" sind demnach im Grunde eine falsche Ueberlieferung aus alten Zeiten - eigentlich muesste es heissen: "4 colley birds" (steht fuer blackbirds, also Amseln).

Aber da das nur ein kleiner Minifehler ist, sehen wir einmal darüber weg denke ich - mitteilen wollte ich es Euch trotzdem
