RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
Kudos, Joe - you are simply a professional in this field....
More info on all 25 "champions of humanity" here - I found "Remember Them" such a great project that I just had to use it:

New score:
Laurie 8
Joe 8
Gene 6
Roger 6
Rogerm 2
Thomas 2
To borrow a winged phrase - this reminds me of a song:
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_R7BYSgz8xY
"Thy hand, Belinda, darkness shades me,
On thy bosom let me rest,
More I would, but Death invades me;
Death is now a welcome guest.
When I am laid, am laid in earth...Remember me, remember me..."
I wonder if Abraham Lincoln had ever heard the aria or even seen the opera (composed by Purcell in 1688)...in any case he missed Jessye Norman's magic voice!!!

8 years of Catholic school down the drain, but I'm right were I want to be. If I'm not here tomorrow night at 6:00, you'll know I've passed on.

You know my computer skills, Laurie! Only Roger knows how to disable the entire internet.
