    I want to know why poor Sue is always being picked on in courts. You can’t turn on the TV without seeing another court case with Sue as the …. oh, you mean as in a lawsuit, not the girl’s name. Never mind. ~ Agnes Litella, even stupider than my sister Emily.. and proud of it

    Take care, may 75 millionth reincarnated Cleopatra be with you, and gesundheit.

    Well, the Pharoah during Joseph the patriarch’s time (Bible) was probably richer. He ended up owning everything

    Cleopatra “controlled” many Egyptian industries? I picture her in a high pyramid office behind an ornate obsidian desk with a large bank of hand-hewn stone telephones and a desktop stone encased computer festooned with ancient Egyptian artwork and a hieroglyph keyboard! We will never know just how advanced their civilization became before its extinction!

    There’s another rock musician named Brian Cox with PhD in physics. He is also a university professor and is a celebrity in the field.

    It seems it isn’t unusual for highly intelligent people to be accomplished musicians in addition to whatever fields they are noteworthy. In the United States, Alexander Borodin is probably best known as a composer of Russian classical music. But, he regarded music as a hobby. He was a physician and a chemist, who made contributions in organic chemistry, and was a medical school professor.

    Apparently, Brian May followed his intellectual passion AND knew where the money was.

    About Thailand’s king: nice culture. And I’ve heard, he takes great profit from sex-tourism. Must be a very nice person. Oh wait, not really.
