11. Maybe it's another John Kleeb.
Or maybe they just liked the name.

Or maybe we have the same parents, but I was given up for adoption at birth.

D'ya ever think of that?

21. Many Norse myths have their origins in Germanic tales
And plus "mjollnir" sounded funny to me at the time. Fooling around is one thing, but *educational* fooling around is something more, isn't it?

:D

10. Shush.
I forgot that I used my business e-mail. It sends images faster.

So I suppose that you might hold the clue.

Cheater.

22. Time's Up!!!!!!! My middle name is...............
Edited on Wed Dec-10-03 04:08 PM by XNASA
..not Robert. Because then my name would be Robert Robert Roberts.

It's not Stephen, though Stephen is my confirmation name. Those of you who weren't raised in the Catholic Church might not know what that is, but when you're around 10 you get to pick out an extra name.

As much as I would like it to be, it's not John Kleeb. Because "Robert John Kleeb Stephen Roberts Jr.", sounds like a fine name indeed.

It's Leo.

Thanks for playing.

26. I think that there are more Leo's per square mile in Chicago...
...than anywhere else. I knew two other Leo's growing up. And I've never met anyone with the name that wasn't from around here.

Just like I never met anyone named Earl until I moved to Houston. Then I met 3 of them.
