10 - I th0ught that what the Episcopals did was write a rite for the blessing of a same gender union. They've been doing blessings (as do some pastors in my denomination), they just didn't have a specific liturgy. Still short of marriage, I thought. Or did they go further?

4. Actually, the top 2 are Lee Westwood and Luke Donald; Rory McIlroy is 3rd, but he is from Northern Ireland, not England
5. Well, those medals were awarded during the Civil War (some of the men who participated in the Great Locomotive Chase got them), so I'd guess 1860s

1..Frank has it--a surgery.

2..Mroo6 has it--a Frank Zappa album.

3..Rbny has both--China, Vietnam.

4..Geordi, does not Great Britain include N. Ireland? Anyway a few of you have some combo of Westwood, Donald & McIlroy.

5..It was the 1860's--Arnie, VTC & geordi.

6..Funiculi, Funiculaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

7..Actually, VAUC, Pierre is the oldest at 90. The rest are in their 80's, except the 78 year old Van Cliburn.

8..K9 & VTC have Charles I. My info says Charles III. I'd like to check, but for some reason, my internet is not letting me double check
as typing in google or yahoo gives me an eternal "wait" right now.

9..K9 leads 4 with Summer in the City by Lovin' Spoonful.

10..Episcpalian, and Knights you are correct, the decision under scrutiny is not the final word.

11..Sally Field at the Oscars--just what VTC, VAUC & K9 said.

12..It wasn't that hard--Burp Pee (Burpee) Seed Co. Patty was the BAD SEED.

13..K9, & the 2 V's with 19th.

You hit 19 3/4...My stars, that's only a C+

 

[wire chief]

P. S. It was Charles I.

We Irishmen will never admit it. The northern counties were illegally taken from us in the 20s. We'll be reunited. Up the Republic!!!
