Good work! I hope that the kids of today read this and learn what they owe to the men and women who suffered and sacrificed to obtain a decent life for themselves and today's kids. With or without 'editing', it is the story that counts. The D.C. Everest Area schools' project is an excellent project and will benefit future generations with its first hand history. Don't worry about 'indents'; just skip a line. Yay!, Wisconsin!

LW: What does 'jk' mean? Forgot to mention: lots of restaurants of all kinds; cemetery at hand and if you are a Quaker, one right in the Park; horseback riding trails throughout the Park; couple of lakes and a waterfall; churches of all sorts - even a Melchite and a Coptic one!; synagogues, and a mosque, and gingko trees (unfortunately). Too bad that you live in the province of penciltucky.

Seems a difficult problem. I often wonder if the ancients had such scruples as regards their antiquities?

I too have fallen in love - with Pvt. Bohp. Lt. Percy to be Best Man. Pvt. Baldrick to be flower girl. Don't need no stinking love songs! All are invited to the wedding, which will be held at my home in Corbridge, U.K., on January 26, 2007. In lieu of presents, please bring lots of Crowns, Pounds and Guineas. Cap't Black Adder, I.F.F.

YAY! I'm so going to go get it now!

WW: Can it track the wind?

Nice ring. Nice work.

PLEASE!

Latin and Greek are cognate languages.

Amen!

:notworthy: I may have read that before DNA was invented. This is also my way of saying that I didn't understand what you wrote.

The Roman numerals are oriented to the center of the watch, that is why you get the upside-down VI for 6. When considered in this way, The IX and XI problem disappears. It also leaves me with no explanation for the IIII. 8 on these watches is VIII and not IIX. In my not so very humble opinion, the Wikipedia explanation is a crock.

If you don't drink to excess, that means that you are rich. I am very poor!

My agents report that the shoulder isn't broken. They have also delivered the following intelligence: It was all a conspiracy by those man eating squirrels that have been shadowing his Greekship :notworthy:. These varmints p'd on the floor and two of the louts pulled on his shoe laces in opposite directions as he strolled into the john. I keep telling him to get some Jack Russells. Does he pay any attention to ? Not a whit!

I can't say where, but once I read that the Etruscans were (might have been) a Semitic people.

Ursus, next you will be asking about the Greatest Love Poem ever.

I think that I can see a bow behind him. What are those things in what looks like a quiver. They don't appear to be arrows.

I have three watches with the 4 notated 'IIII'. This notation is used so as not to confuse IV with VI. The Roman numbers 5 - 9 are upside down. Doesn't solve the problem of confusing 9 with 11 (IX and XI). __________ Maybe a Eureka! VV = O?

Done. Now, send me a check for $59.99 plus $5,000 S&H and $404.80 Sales Tax. Diamonds are gratis.

:wub: I am a Doctor of Metaphysics. If called upon, I will take over the case. Edit Damn me!

:mummy: : Get better quick! That is an order! I'll miss aggravating you. EDIT! I thought that it was Ramses!

S, Buon Cappo d' Anno.

Subject: Police justice. Another case of underestimating the ammo requirements. As reported earlier this week, some dirtbag who got pulled over in a routine traffic stop in Florida ended up "executing" the deputy who stopped him. The deputy was shot eight times, including once behind his right ear at close range. Another deputy was wounded and a police dog killed. A statewide manhunt ensued. The low-life piece of human garbage was found hiding in a wooded area with his gun. SWAT team officers fired and hit said low-life 68 times. Now here's the kicker: Asked why they shot the guy 68 times, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told the Orlando Sentinel...get this: "That's all the bullets we had." God bless Sheriff Judd!
