Unless Washington was one of those annoying bastards who's got brains, looks[1], charisma and can play bar games. [1] I figure he wasn't the only guy with funny-lookin' teeth back then. We have to fight the terrorists as if there were no rules and preserve our open society as if there were no terrorists. -- [link\|http://www.nytimes.com/2001/04/05/opinion/BIO-FRIEDMAN.html\|Thomas Friedman]

"When introduced to the infant Mozart, PDQ Bach immediately recognized talent in the lad and announced to his parents that he would, without doubt, become the greatest billiards player of his age." Millions have heard that gag line without realizing that Mozart actually was the greatest billiards player of his era (I learned it many years ago from the introduction chapter of Moscone's book on billiards).

Leonardo - ditto. What could you say 'to him' except Wow! ?? The bugler for the Rebs, who played Taps and also pop. tunes of the day - for both sides, one evening .. during a stand-off. Adam Smith - little chat about vulture capitalists, McDonalds and.. would he like to take up gardening? ..and a few others. Dr. Ashton Who?
