Don't think I'll bother, quite honestly - The 'Uranus' jokes have been done to death. Nov 21 03, 3:01 PM

Doug get off Uranus, and tell me if you are being Sirius. I have a different answer. Do you have a web address? Perhaps Herschel is buried on the other side of Newton!! Nov 21 03, 10:39 PM

What is the connection between Forde Abbey and Sir Thomas More? In which book do the following characters appear: Dr. Page, Dr. Llewellyn, Sir Robert Abbey and Sir Jenner Halliday? Recently I visited Sir Isaac Newton's birthplace at Woolsthorpe Manor in Lincolnshire. In his study there is an old wooden writing desk on which is carved the inscription IMANODI 1635. What does this mean? To whom was Sir Peter Ustinov referring when he said "I'd hate to be next door to her on her wedding night?"
