Jacob Bluefinger was a young man who lived in Philadelphia in the later 18th century. Erbert and Gerbert met him when they traveled back to Philadelphia on July 3, 1776. Jacob was employed by the Continental Congress as an apprentice janitor. Part of his duties included keeping the inkwells filled in the meeting room at Independence Hall. It was with ink provided by Jacob that our forefathers signed the Declaration of Independence.

It is a little known fact in history that the Declaration of Independence was almost destroyed shortly after it was signed. As we all know, Comet Morehouse is evil. Like all evil things, he hated the Declaration of Independence and its principles of human liberty and equality almost as much as he hated Halleys Comet. As a result, as soon as the Document was signed, Morehouse tried to burn it in Thomas Jefferson's hands. Jacob Bluefinger, however, snatched the Declaration from the clutches of Morehouse and tried to run away. Just before he was about to be caught, Jacob passed the Document on to an eagle who soared far into the sky to escape from the evil comet.

Luckily, Halleys Comet arrived in time to save the Declaration of Independence (or else we would not have it today). But before he could do so, the Document was actually burned around the edges, and that is why it looks the way it does. In addition, the continental Congress was about to vote the turkey the national bird. Because of the eagle's heroic efforts to save the Declaration of Independence, they changed their minds and decided that the American eagle would be our national symbol.
