["Lonnie Gunter" ] RE: A couple of things... ["Jeff Abrams" ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2005 19:43:47 -0400 From: "Lonnie Gunter" Subject: A couple of things... First... I will say hello to the group for Lewis Bailey. He is a wonderful lurker who some of us were able to meet in Atlanta. He is the NBC cameraman assigned to cover the story for Natalee Holloway who has been missing in Aruba. He has been away from home for months and told me to tell all of you hello. He has a website at www.sharpshootertv.com and welcomes the group to look at it. Second... after writing a list member offline for the fear of seeming way too stupid to all of you intelligent people, I am now feeling brave enough to inquire of the group. Is it common knowledge that the phrase "mortal coil" is from Shakespeare? I came across it the other day while looking for something my Mom always said not knowing it was Shakespeare. I am just curious if everybody knew that or not. I think we all love to learn on this list so I suppose for those who may not know... it is a good time to learn something new.

You know, the "To be, or not to be- that is the question" part. To sleep- perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub! For in that sleep of death what dreams may come When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause. There's the respect That makes calamity of so long life. - --- Jeff Abrams maniac@mazdamaniac.com TURBOCHARGED & INTERCOOLED 1.3 liter 2004 Mazda RX-8 GT TURBOCHARGED & INTERCOOLED 1.8 liter 1997 Mazda MX-5 Miata naturallyaspiratedHOTTNESS 1.8 liter 2003 Mazda MX-5 Miata LS Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries. - --Douglas Casey, Classmate of W.J.Clinton at Georgetown U.
