My identity revealed?
Many of my friends know me, as you fellow b3tans do, as "Crow." They, of course, know my real name, but the (partly self-inflicted) nickname of "Crow" has stuck.

This is not information I have shared with the people in my department. They think I'm weird enough without discovering my crow fixation. At most, I think 3 of them know, which includes my housemate and her boyfriend anyway.

So, during a certain football tournament involving numerous European nations, the department had a small sweepstake going on the winner. We put in a quid and drew our team out of a hat.

Yep, you guessed it. Completely unwittingly, I pulled out Croatia. Crow-atia. Oh, yeah.

That's not the spooky bit. The guy organising wrote up everyone's name on the notice board alongside the recongnised abbreviation of the country they'd drawn, thus:
Archibald FRA
Euripides ITA
Mr S Crow CRO
and so forth.

After Croatia were knocked out (and did a lot better than I expected), I glanced at the notice board to see my name crossed off. But...somebody had added a 'W' to my 'CRO' suffix. The 3 people I mentioned earlier never got involved with the sweepstake...does this mean somebody else has found out?

HOW DO THEY KNOW????

That's not actually spooky at all. Nor is it particularly interesting to read. I'd still like an explanation, mind.

Apologies for length, you should see the size of its beak.

I expect
it was just someone who wanted the thing to read Crow CROW.
