Albatross may have larger wing span .... but I reckon considerably less bird
mass (mess).
Or were you referring to the legendary bad luck that ensues from killing an
albatross? :)

Depends on what flavor albatross it is, I s'pose...

[phil..c]

Is there *another* flavour other than -Albatross flavour ?

However, because the priests bashed Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor
Coleridge into our brain boxes (among other Dogma)

The Albatross for some reason remain fairly intact
much preferred over his work/s relating to
Kubla Khan

For those of with remnants of a classic education or just to understand
that which refers to such things as Albatross Flavour/ Albatross about
ones neck etc

here is the *Rime* of Coleridgeś lovely Poem

With half decent text accompanying the verse
(It apply s to Airmen re WX as well ) :)

`God save thee, ancient Mariner !
From the fiends, that plague thee thus !--
Why look'st thou so ?'--With my cross-bow
I shot the ALBATROSS.
