And if they did, they couldn't be eaten.  After all, someone (I
disremember who) said that he would never eat an animal whom he had
been introduced by.

P.S.:  Jon, is it the "Asia and Africa" or "Australia and Greenland"
that sounds faux-Parker to you?  My sense is that she would not have
said the former, but might have said the latter, knowing full well
that Greenland was not a continent.
