Jeez...
Between you and RH,I am at a loss for words..I think I'll NIP out for a drink..

Well, that's MLU for you... a safe harbour for pearls of wisdom from all over the world. But then again, I'm easily awed... or is that 'easily odd'?

Jefe, I hear that your mother is very entertaining, in fact, it could be said "Yama nobore"

P.S. ;) If you're still cold, you could climb Mt. Niitaka to warm up ;)

She certainly entertained my father for a while, which is why I'm here today... :D

I remembered...
 

...I even mentioned it at work by starting off with a question. 'Do you know what the phrase "...A day that will live in infamy!" is from?
Good to know that all these 30 and 36 year olds did not have a clue and even after explaining they still could not remember the statement. :mad:

In another note but in the same area , have any of you looked at Pearl Harbour with GOOGLE EARTH? Very cool! You can still see the oil escaping from the Arizona .

Sean :cheers:

Same-same here too, Sean. Sometimes I think we were born out-of-time, othertimes that we have been sentenced to the hopeless task of edumacating The Herd... :)

Re: I remembered...
 

Sean, here's the first of two trivia questions for you:

Was it a unanimous vote in congress to declare war on Japan?

Re: Re: I remembered...
 

Nope, 388-1 in the house though the senate was unanimous all on Dec 8, 1941.
:salute:

Re: Re: Re: I remembered...
 

Good so far. Question #2: Which state's congressman voted against the war?

Hey Cowboy...
 

...it was cowgirl & pacifist Congresswoman Jeannette Rankin from Big Sky country , or Montana for you non Cowpokes
Sean

Re: Grid coordinates...
 

North 53 34.73 West 111 27.90? Let's see, that puts you near the intersection of Yellowhead Highway and Range Road 41, no?
