We can call it a draw, except... did you know that the city of Cleveland, Ohio, was originally named "Cleaveland"? It got shortened when the publisher of the local paper didn't have a wide enough area to print the name, and he had to cut it down. So "Cleaveland" became "Cleveland"....

Strange but true. Okay, I'll put my [img]graemlins/twocents.gif[/img] into the Boogre Bar tip jar, and one shout on me. See you there...
