I was beginning to think this was all getting rather silly. Bring on the slapping fish dancers. Yes, with all the recent people getting impossibly harder to guess, I thought I’d go with… something completely different. Yes, I am Terry Jones. the little Welshman who enraged John Cleese repeatedly, and who is a noted historical writer as well. Has anyone else read his book _Douglas Adams’ Starship Titanic_? Well done, SCAdian! Sorry, EH, just a little late. ---
