I think this rule should also apply to Otto von Bismarck, whom I believe is also dead, although more recently, and several other people, too.)
Ralph -- you are wonderful person, and thanks for coming to my defence. but you can't count. There are 13 words in my poem. I figure 5 may be directly attributed to good old Rene. That leaves me with 8 all on my own. Considerably better than 50%!!!!
