Thanks for confirming my initial instincts. I don't know how much he'd appreciate a poem, but I'll find something for him.

And thanks for for the positive comments. I changed the opening scene to coincide with your earlier observations, re: Napoleon's intelligence level. Thanks for the help, and I'm glad you showed your smarts in Jeopardy!

Just wanted to say that the more I look at your avatar, the more it looks like you. It's getting a little creepy. I think its eyes are actually following me around the room.
