Tuan Cederic, thanks for righting my misconception about that hulu.

Its good to learn more.

I found an online story and another website about Jatayu. He was described as a 60,000 year old vulture king. A noble one too, it seems, died fighting the demon king Ravanna.

Cool.
Rick, do you know where, geoculturally, that picture is from? Is it from Indonesia? I see two rather k(e)ris like daggers, and I think one is of a familiar Hindu form (I don't know its name though.....).
