Owl Given Library Card

Yoda is an owl with a job. A handler brings him to the library of the University of Bath to drive off seagulls that settle on the building and cause mischief for students and staff. Yoda has diligently kept these troublemakers from nesting there, so the library administration recognized his work by granting him an honorary library card. The Guardian reports:

The library management team decided to issue a library card to Yoda in recognition of his “valuable service” to the university. The card, which is valid until 2020, features a photograph of the bird, described as Prof Yoda The Owl.

A spokesman said: “The university has invited Yoda and his handler Marcus to visit the campus twice a week as an environmentally friendly method to control the seagull numbers on campus and thereby limit the potential adverse effects a large gull population can have.

This is a Habling Rickler. When Raccon skin coats were all the rage you would need to get your great coat 'rickled' in time for the first cold snap. If you didn't attend to the garments maintenence, it would tend to matt and bunch, especially under the arms and in the seat.

When the great depression came people would go without eating lunches for a week rather than suffer the humiliation of having strangers snigger and say 'Getcha Rickle, yer butt's matted!' It is reported that some victims have resorted to suicide.
