    The famous diarist Samuel Pepys once kissed a queen of England on his birthday. Who was the queen and why was this a little unusual?

    Question #57561. Asked by gmackematix. (Jun 05 05 7:26 PM)

    		Old Sam kissed just about everything female he could get his hands on, as I recall. However, the body of Catherine of Valois, Queen of Henry V, was put on display, and Pepys kissed her (it?) on his 36th birthday.

    Claire Tomalin's recent biography of Pepys, "The Unequalled Self," is a great read.

    		Thought I recognized this revolting smooch....one of shady's from a month or so ago. (The question, not the smooch....Hell would freeze over first.)
