Interesting news story I just ran across

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070609/ap_ ... on_s_sword

Wouldn't it be nifty to get a pick of President Corbin packing the Marengo Sword?

Feldmarschall Freiherr Gary McClellan
Generalissimus Imperial Austrian Army
Portner Grenadier Bn
Allied Coalition C-in-C

$1.6 million dollars! What's that in real money? Doesn't matter really as contents of piggy bank won't stretch that far. Sadly!!!

If the calculator I'm looking at is up to date, a hair over 800,000 pounds. (How do you do the Pound symbol anyway?)

It's above the 3 on my keyboard, right next to the $ dollar on number 4. That's probably not much use to you (never seen the layout of an American keyboard before).

I was going to bid on it, but then I read about having to keep it in France for 6 months of the year. WHO would want to live in France for 1/2 year, by choice???[:D]

Bill,

I suspect it's more a case of "She Who Must Be Obeyed" being concerned about how she will keep Ernie down on the farm after he's seen Paris [:o)] ...
