Hi, Nicolas, Yeah, that was the Brits that burned the White House in the War of 1812. But, hell, the Americans should thank us (or the Brits or whoever). I don't know what colour the President's House was before it was burned down, but I know it wasn't white. It just would sound right to call it the (let's say) Charteuse House, or Aquamarine House now, would it?
"...and now we go to Ari Fleishman at the Burgundy House..." "...President Clinton met Monica Lewinski at a Fuscha House garden party..." "...GW Bush, the world's most powerful man, eats corn flakes every moringing at the Taupe House..." Clearly, none of those work, and I think we've never received the appropriate thanks... <vbg> cheers, frank Nicolas Colarusso wrote: > Hi Bob, > > About the White House...that was a mistake.
