What's the deal with people from the 1600's? I mean come on. Could John Napier take any more time to discover logarithms? And come on, slashed doublet, wide reticella lace collars and cuffs, and a broadbrimmed hats were never cool.

    Maybe the person was from the 1600's and thought they where claiming my post as their own, with using a flag.

    I wouldn't be surprised if one of the grammar police did it :) You were obviously abusing the English language.

    Although maybe in the 1600's that would have been appropriate!

    Also I called some of the 1600's people "Some puffy pants wearing, Drate-Poking, Bobolyne's"

    I love the lace collars on men, they also hung; like ties. So it was a collar/tie combination & much more sophisticated/dapper, than what men wear; in these current times!

    Mozart is an overrated son of a *kitten* whose music sounds like it was written by a child, because it was. I woke up this morning thinking "Who can I share this with?" Perfect thread.

    and William Penn founding Pennsylvania? I understand naming something after you if you "found" it. But what's with the adding -sylvania part? If his last name was Smith would it have been Smith-sylvania? Who does that?

    I still think dude was an asshat for naming it after himself and tacking on Latin.

    Yeah man he should have named it pennCEElvania

    Yeah, and spelled the same way. That makes more sense.
