Re "score.......forty"

Did you mean twenty?

Henry

I think that's a valid question.

[brian]

No, I think it's from that old speech... "Forty score and seven hundred years ago", isn't it?

[Henry J]

"Forty score and seven hundred years ago",

I dunno - ya might get a low score on that one.

[brian]

It was Honest Art who gave that speech, wasn't it?

[lswot]

"Four score and seven years years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."

Score=20 (I was off by 20 )

4x20=80+7=87 / 1863(date of speech)-1776(declaration)=87

Hard to believe there was only 87 years difference between the two events.
Then again, maybe not.
