    Well, I usually would be at this time but I'm an hour behind and the pub is still open. There's a lad here with SPQR tattooed on his shoulder. Anyone know what it means? May be the difference between me getting the ride and not tonight.

    Maximus Decimus Meridius (commander of the armies of the north, general of the Felix legions, loyal servant to the true emperor Marcus Aurelius, father of a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife) had that tattoo.

    Because it reflects the range of wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum that is perceived by the human visual cortex?

    Iceland doesn't produce nearly enough bananas to be anywhere close to the largest producer.

    One last clue. Where would you go where the wind bates the head off ya, you pay half a week's wages for a pint, and everybody thinks you speak the lingo because you're pale and spent too many days in the bog?
