    Sorry, you're right, one N too many. No, though, that wasn't her real name, IIRC that was a nickname Cyrano gave her.

    And we have fizzled out again!

    While yiz are all trying to remember the antecedents of kings, I will throw in another one. I generally make a pigs ear of asking questions so I will do my best to not get too ambiguous.

    Just about everyone knows what USB refers to in computing, what do the letters stand for?

    Jeepers, sound charming - taxidermy for two to take away, anyone? :|

    Roxane's real name was Magdalene Robin, which I found interesting because Roxane means (sort of) ”russet”, Mary Magdalene had red hair and robins have red breasts. :)

    Replacement question: what does "scurryfunge" mean?
