I can't even remember what the original post was about..... 8th grade history teacher allowed extra credit on tests for any name associated with the test. I had enough extra credit to pass two more tests with a blank answer sheet. Easiest class I ever took. And I cannot remember the teacher's name. Got it! Mr Thayer!!!

Did you know puerile's etymology is related to the word poultry? Chickenboy needs to represent here, I think. Oh, and like the Orkans, we age in reverse, and juveniles are among the wisest ([:'(]) of us.

Thanks is pretty interesting. He didn't care what I wrote. It was one point for every word that was from WWII. I put a list of ships, planes, generals and battles. I think I scored 248%. I know it was somewhere around there anyway. I used to spend lunch in his room and he put on "War at Sea" movies.

Well that was disappointing - I got one wrong - Superb was completed in November 45. I also managed to miss some sitters... Aurora, Berwick, Cairo, Colossus, Devonshire, Kenya, all five Bellona's, Phoebe!! [sm=nono.gif] More haste, less speed...
