Status: offline 		Which incidentally reminds me of a conversation I had at work today. Some yahoo calls in complaining about his deductable. I sigh inwardly and launch into an explanation of the deductable. He yells at me (almost verbatim) "Dont treat me like an idiot. I went to law school, I know exactly how insurance works. I've talked to several of my friends who were involved in accidents and they never had to pay a deductable". After I slam the mute button and laugh my @ss off, I turn mute off and explain to him in a very calm and professional tone that unlike him, his friends probably did not cause the accidents they were in, and were paid by the adverse carrier's property damage coverages. WHat I probably should have asked instead was did he actually finish that law school, or was he kicked out for sheer stupidity.

Sweden's Johan I Sverkersson dies at Visingö March 10 at age 21 and is succeeded by a 6-year-old who will reign until 1229 as Erik X and then reign again from 1234 to 1250 (see 1229).

A Golden Bull strengthens Hungary's monarchy but limits its functions. Promulgated by András II under pressure from his son Belá and other feudal lords, the bull's 31 articles affirm basic rights and privileges, compelling the king to convene the diet on a regular basis and giving the nobles and bishops the right to resist should András or any future king violate the bull's provisions (jus resistendi). The bull exempts the clergy and the gentry from taxation, provides for the dismissal of the king's county officials (foispan) for misconduct, guarantees the nobility against arbitrary imprisonment and confiscation, exempts them from having to serve without pay in the king's army abroad, and grants landowners the right to dispose of their domains as they see fit, but no landed estates may be owned by foreigners (see human rights, 1231).

Raymond VI, comte de Toulouse, faints from the heat and dies of a stroke at Toulouse in August at age 65, having regained most of the lands taken from him by the Fourth Lateran Council and given to the late Simon de Montfort. Because he has refused to persecute the Cathar "heretics" he is denied a Christian burial; his 25-year-old son succeeds to the title as Raymond VII.

The Nicaean emperor Theodore Lascaris dies at Nicaea in November at age 47 (approximate), having betrothed his daughter Eudocia to the Latin emperor Robert of Courtenay. Theodore is succeeded by his 29-year-old son-in-law, who will reign until his death in 1254 as John III Vatatzes. Theodore's brothers Alexius and Isaac protest the succession, precipitating a civil war.

The Mongols make their first appearance in Europe as Genghis Khan invades Russian territories, but he has quarreled with the eldest of his four sons Juchi (or Jöcho), who henceforth will not participate in Genghis Khan's battles, although he will help his brother Ughedei (Ogödei, or Subutai) in attacking the Volga Bulgars (see 1223)

England's Council of Oxford establishes April 23 as St. George's Day to honor the Christian martyr who died early in the 4th century. The patron saint of England is said to have slain a dragon (representing the Devil) to rescue the king's daughter Sabra (representing the Church).

Having been in court about once a week for the last 18 years I can attest that things like this are actually said.

My favorite was an old, senile alcoholic judge that we had about 10 years ago (before he was removed). The guy would just speak his mind no matter how off color or inapproprate it was. His best was when he had a Asian kid who was pleaing his 4 point speeding ticket down to a 2 point ticket. The judge asked if he was Japanese or Chinese. The kid said he was Japanese and the judge replied (I kid you not) "Well, we did drop 2 atomic bombs on your country, I guess we can reduce your points" Everyone in the room (including the cops) went silent and looked at each other like "Can he say that?"

He was so entertaining that I would often volunteer to be the court officer on the nights he was on the bench.

Speak not of other games.

The only good thing about these is that we can create a new Thread on their sites.
