If pshyrnk's going to drop Procter & Gamble on us then I'll name drop as well  The sharp eyed amongst you may have noticed that my avatar is a map of the Frankish Empire. The most famous leader of that empire was Charlemagne, to whom, presumably, I trace my ancestry back to.
Those of you who read Dan Brown will also, no doubt, recall that the Merovingians were also part of the Frankish clan and that it was these who Dan Brown 'proved' were the continuation of Jesus' bloodline.
So, pshrynk, you keep P&G, I'm related to the son of God  |
Oh, I'm not claiming relationship with them. I know how to spell. Can't type worth a damn, but I can spell. My branch of the family fell off the boat in the late 1800's and are all settled in Iowa (mostly).
