Thanks!

Cool -- should we call you "Old Man Rivers"?<g>
| She was the "White Queen" that Starz made the mini-series. about.
| Every time there was a sex scene in the series I kept thinking "No!
| Grammys do not have sex!".
Fortunately, they do -- that's how we got here. Once, some time ago, I
attempted to quantify the likelihood of any of us being here, how our
parents needed to meet up in that special fashion at the particular time
they did, and likewise our grandparents, great grandparents, and so on,
and concluded that it's possible to come close to proving that our chances
of ever coming into being are so infinitesimal that none of us can
possibly exist.

Yup, two of them in fact. Then they reburied the bones in Leichester
Cathedral. Benedict Cumberbatch even spoke at the ceremony. (And if memory
serves, competing parties fought over his skeleton -- the last fight in
the Wars of the Roses!)
