What's in a name?

That which we call a Biscuit
By any other name would be as sweet.

--William Shakespeare (more or less)

  2. Your funny blog and picture about the Venus reminds me that we just watched a news item about a lady in china who had been pregnant for 60 years. She looked a lot like the Venus too. Maybe she had a baby pool and wanted to keep ALL the money? Well, it is just a thought but if that strategy has crossed your mind, I have a solution. I will share more of my winnings with you as long as you keep the target date of Mozart's birthday in mind. That way, you could also name the baby Amadeus, one of your favorite CDs as a teenager. With a nickname like "Ammo" you would be guaranteed to get a university scholarship from the NRA and a quick rise to a leaderhip position in the military. Then a position in the cabinet of the president (the republicans will be back in power in about 30 years) and then on to a life of a well-paid government lobbiest after retirement at age 55 with plenty of money to keep you and Mark busy with your own foundation to develop sources of fresh water and educational opportunities for the worlds poorest kids. It all hinges on the biscuit being born on Mozart's birthday. Please don't name him Amadeus just because you love the name even though he is born on Jan 29 or Feb 9--you might be arrested for child abuse if you gave him a name like that without a reason.
