i posted this a while back and never heard any responses, so i figured
i'd try one last time before forgetting about it...

I was wondering if anyone could give me some detailed information on
the origination of Gyrfalcon, the correct pronunciation 
(grr-falcon, jire-falcon, or what?) and any other interesting info.
I figure it's about time i learned more about something which i have been
so associated with for the past year and a half. From what i understand,
a Gyrfalcon is a white falcon (the name of my band is "Falcon White",
thought up by my friend) and i have grown more interested in falcons
as time has progressed, so any information would be appreciated.

if a fish's eye was a telephone pole, it would swim lopsided.
