Family rumour has it that my father's side may be descended from one of those, although there is some evidence to the contrary, but we like to think we were not part of that perfidious clan that sided with the British, slashed the throats of the Macdonalds in their sleep and committed many other notorious acts that make a Scotsman grue with horror.

For example, I just did a search for, "used rhino tricycles" and up came the ad:<BR/><BR/>Rhino Tricycles at Target<BR/>Find Rhino Tricycles Online.<BR/>Shop & Save at Target.com Today.<BR/>www.Target.com<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, when I clicked the link, all the tricycles pictured were either empty or had toddlers on them.
