    Both jsb and DesF are right. 10992!

    And we don't care if you disapprove! The cats are well cared for and we'll do whatever it takes to keep the kids quiet! :D

    Actually each kid is bringing 49. We felt we needed to limit it to 49 per child! :D

    Away with you and yore suspicion ... I am the son of an English teacher.

    pa trout insisted we all read for at least 19 hours a day, and there were no comics in our house.

    I can also tell you, without googling, what the origin of Mark Twain is.

    Can you :rolleyes:

    For a bonus point ... name the author of the fantasy series in which Sam Clemens is resurrected along with Li Po, Jack London, and Tom Mix ?

    it was a sounding, or measure of depth of the river ... pilots would lower a pole with markings into the river, and see how far it would sink before touching bottom ... "mark one, mark twain ... etc".

    My bonus question still stands. I don't think google will help
