Have observed one thing, everbody tries to connect to someone famous. Am I the exception to this, my kin were just hard-working "average" people. No kings, no presidents, no notorius outlaws, just "ordinary" people. Like everyone else they had their *giggle* blacksheep. But most were like 90% of today's people, just average, law abiding tax paying people. --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!?
