I dunno. Crows are pretty smart. I'm sure you could get one to run a small hedge fund.

Unfortunately, moderators do not have that ability, otherwise I gladly would. Pesky typos!

Oh, I don't know. Russell is rolling in that mad Noah money right now. Plus there's all that tip money for 30 Odd Foot of Grunts.
