For anyone looking for a new "bad Web page" to help develop Web
evaluation skills, I offer
<a href="http://www.umbachconsulting.com/FeralFlamingo.pdf"
eudora="autourl">http://www.umbachconsulting.com/FeralFlamingo.pdf</a>.
It is, I hope, a worthy companion to my well known Velcro hoax, although
this one is under pen name <b>Herbert T. Brewer</b>. <br><br>
This new piece is my take on the feral flamingos of Sacramento's Capitol
Park. At nine pages, mostly illustrations, it is quick
reading. However, the mixture of fact and genuine source
citations with the imaginary feral flamingos may provide an amusing
challenge for some students. All of the photos, by the way, are
genuine -- except for the first one in the document, showing the
flamingos in a shallow pool next to a walkway. (The flamingos are
real, too, and I also photographed them -- just not in that particular
location.)<br><br>
Caution: it is a pretty big file, upwards of a megabyte. I have
included, for your convenience, a copyright notice at the end of the
document that makes it easy for teachers to use the page for educational
purposes. (I give explicit permission for that sort of
use.)<br><br>
Regards, and best wishes for summer vacation, for those of you who get
such.<br><br>
Meanwhile, I obviously am a man with too much time on his
hands.<br><br>
