Why are you working so late?

No, but your memory of what you did with them does.....causing one to have to go through it carefully to remember your plans.....which takes longer than doing a new turn 1. [:D]

Well, as Faber aptly demonstrated, when I plan stuff, I get my butt handed to me even quicker than when I dont. [:D]

As long as Yava has fun.

a turn, a turn, my kingdom for a turn.

Do you have a kingdom? If you do, I'll trade it to you for this bridge I have...its just down the road, in Brooklyn.

You'd sell Denmark for a Witp turn? [X(] I believe T should know this!! [:'(]

Fortunately, he's not here to complain. Next thing he'll know is that he wakes up and his little African country's been traded for a turn. Surprise! [:D]

At the moment I would sell my mother for a turn...well I'd sell your mother at the very least. [:D]

This conjversation is taking a turn into a realm I'd rather not go to. [X(][:'(]

At today's exchanges rates....that would only get you a combat replay. [:D][:D]

Yes, we fly in on the 29th and leave on the 9th. Plenty of time to catch up with ya somewhere.

I'm looking forward to it...what will happen when an evil boy genius and a martian meet...

Thats easy. They'll get drunk and talk about Witp and the Thread. Duh! [8|]

Year 1253:

Bohemia's Wenceslas I dies September 23 at age 48 after a 23-year reign in which he has protected his country from the Tatars of the Golden Horde (who ravaged Moravia), encouraged wide-scale German immigration, brought Austria under his control for a while, and antagonized the nobility by seeming to favor the Germans. He is succeeded by his son, the duke of Babenberg, now 23, who will open her silver mines, make Bohemia one of the richest countries in Europe, and reign until 1278 as Ottakar II.

Franciscan friar Guillaume de Roubrock arrives at Karakorum on a mission from France's Louis IX and finds a silver fountain built for the Mongol khan Möngke (Mungke, or Manga) by Frankish goldsmith Guillaume Boucher. The fountain's four spouts dispense wine, mead, rice wine, and kumyss (mead and kumyss are alcoholic beverages made, respectively, from honey and mare's milk).

The Japanese shôgun imposes price controls to halt inflation.

The Japanese Buddhist monk Nichiren denounces the traditional Jodo and Zen sects as blasphemous and establishes his own sect, requiring his followers to strengthen their faith by chanting, "I take my refuge in the Lotus sutra" ("Namu myoho renegekyo"). A fisherman's son, Nichiren antagonizes many with his zealotry.

English bishop and scholar Robert Grosseteste dies at Buckden, Buckinghamshire, October 9 at age 78 (approximate), having introduced Latin translations of Greek and Arabic philosophical and scientific literature into Europe. He has been bishop of Lincoln since 1235, and his work on optics has led to the invention of corrective eyeglass lenses that have made life easier for monks and other scholars who must labor for long hours in dim light.

The Sorbonne is founded as the first college in the University of Paris. Intended for indigent theological students, it opens under the name Community of Poor Masters and Scholars and has been started by Robert de Sorbon, 52, chaplain and confessor to Louis IX, who will return next year from the Seventh Crusade.

If you ever find a dog with pleasant breath, let me know, I'll call the Guiness Book people. [:D]

Interesting historical tidbit: know where the Sudetenland is? That's right....Bohemia. My what unforeseen consequences our actions can contribute to.

1254:
* October 10 - Edward Plantagenet marries Eleanor of Castile. His father Henry III had demanded the marriage in exchange of ending the war with her brother Alfonso X of Castile
* December 2 - Manfred of Sicily defeats army of Pope Innocent IV at Foggia.
* King Louis IX of France, having exhausted his funds and being needed at home, abandons the Seventh Crusade (which he had conducted first in Egypt and then Syria) and returns to France.
* King Louis IX of France expels all Jews from France.
* King Afonso III of Portugal holds the first session of the Cortes (Portugal's general assembly composed of nobles, members of the middle class, and representatives from all municipalities) in Leiria.
* In England, an important step in the evolution of the Parliament and Peerage occurs, as lesser barons are replaced on the King's Council by elected representatives from shires and cities.
* Pope Innocent IV excommunicates Conrad IV of Germany and Rudolph I of Germany (later elected Holy Roman Emperor).
* The Ghibelline town of Pistoia is taken over by Guelph Florence.

It is a great example of cause and effect. OTOH, the latter day corporal would have found something else to pick a fight over. Not that anyone took him very serriously even in this case.

[Mynok]

If only Neville had been in the army. He would have known not to trust a corporal. [:D]

I find it fascinating that Bohemia was to be annexed into Austria within a century or two.
