I think it is...let's see, England is 5 hours off, right? That means it's also 19 hours off the other way. So if we ignore the spin of the earth, carry the 3, multiply by the average airspeed of an unladed swallow, divide by Ted Kennedy's liver...and we get... close enough to tomorrow for today to be April 1!*

Happy Birthday, Helen!

So, what do you think? I hope I picked the right size.

2 My favorite is a split tail.

3 the average airspeed of an unladed swallow Too easy, but just in case they *are* stealth points--Monty Python and the Holy Grail. And it's "unladen" but I'm sure that's just a typo.

4 Oh, yes. Definitely too easy. We can pretty much permanently exclude any Monty Python from the stealth points - it's just too prevalent in geek vernacular.

5 I gathered as much, but it didn't hurt to try.

6 I LOVE MY PRESENT!! Thank you darlin'. Thank you so much. That's the nicest thing you've ever done for me (excepting for beating up that kid who stole my lunch money after school that day. Now that was a big one.) As for swallows...well, my favorite one is very different to the one you boys chose. Much more soothing to the soul.
