I actually said, "It's either Ag or Au."

i always remembered that the ag went with silver--even though you'd sort of thing it would go with GGGGold. yeah.

His number isn't too important. In our text books at school he gets to referred to by his name without his number so if you know his name i'll take it.

His father's name was Philip, right? (I tend to frequent the History channel when I'm bored)

That's what I was thinking... but wasn't he like Philip III or... II???

... history is not my forte. My mom and brother do the history channel thing, though.

I am fairly sure it was Philip II

That sounds right to me... I was between 2 and 3....

Although we'll have to wait for Green_shoes to say whether you're correct.

I suppose I'll start the drum roll *taps on desk*

eh, i hope you can keep that up for a while. i don't remember when he usually gets on, but he's from australia so he's about 18 or so hours off our time. though i'm not entirely sure what 'your time' is anyway.

I'm in New Jersey, so it's 5:48 pm here.

ah, so you're only an hour ahead of me....

now that i think of it, i think Green_shoes is only 15 hours ahead of me... but still. that's a big ol' difference.

yeah, I might be checking back tomorrow to see if I am right.


well, I guess it depends what time he gets up. I'll probably be up until 2 or 3 in the morning.
