The response to seeing a magpie is to say "Good morning Mr Magpie" and to salute it.


Man-O-War:

The man-of-war (also man of war, man-o'-war or simply man) was the most powerful type of armed ship from the 16th to the 19th centuries. The term often refers to a ship armed with cannon and propelled primarily by sails, as opposed to a galley which is propelled primarily by oars.

I dunno. Attacking a bicyclist earns it some points.

Superman: You know who I was thinking about the other day?
Batman: Who?
Superman: Magpie
Batman: The villain?
Superman: Do we know any other Magpies? What ever happened to her?
Bat: I think she's dead
Super: Really?
Bat: I'm reasonable sure.
Super: Why do the good villains always die?
Bat: What the hell is a good villain, Clark?

Reminded me of that scene. Sure got some of the quotes wrong, but from memory.
