      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Wasn’t sure if this goes here or the not appropriate thread. Maybe it’s just my dirty mind.

                              actually, it's 2:59:59:20

                              and AM is not needed.

                                  Steller's Sea Eagle

                                  The largest eagle in the world is Steller's Sea Eagle (Haliaeetus pelagicus), which weighs 5-9 kg (11-20 lb) and has a wing-span of 2.2-2.45 m (7 ft 2 in-8 ft 0.3 in). Although it breeds mainly in Russia it has also been located in Korea and Japan. In Russia this eagle is a protected species and in Japan is considered a national symbol.
