General Pulaski Memorial Day.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General...i_Memorial_Day Interesting. You of course would know Tadeusz Kościuszko. Did you know Australia's tallest mainland peak is Mount Kosciuszko (<---Wikipedia linky)? It was named by Polish explorer Strzelecki "because of its perceived resemblance to the Kościuszko Mound in Krakow" (well, there's a little confusion over Mount Townsend and Kosciuszko, but that's by-the-by now). "A pinnacle, rocky and naked, predominant over several others...The particular configuration of this eminence struck me so forcibly by the similarity it bears to a tumulus elevated in Krakow over the tomb of the patriot Kosciuszko that, although in a foreign country, on foreign ground, but amongst a free people, who appreciate freedom and it votaries, I could not refrain from giving it the name Mount Kosciusko." (Strzelecki) I enjoy the connections, from Poland to the U.S.A. to Oz, and the people wrapped around them. Cheers, Marc |

We had an old male football coach that also taught history. We'd put thumbtacks in his chair every week or so...he never learned..he'd always sit on them and scream!
I guess the appropriate quote here is "Those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it!" |

the one time I tried the tack in the chair routine the guy sat on it and it ounctured his wallet. I sat through the entire class trying to figure out if he was incredibly stoic, macho, or what the deal was. what a let down!
