OMG I know what Chris Matthews meant. I have tingles all over though. I hope this isn’t a joke.

Don’t we all....Just go to sleep, and have pleasant dreams that it IS true and we can all say “we told you so” tomorrow. Night all.

Good to see you on the line, ant. Seems like maybe the ban on hunting CoLB trolls is over.

I got reprimanded today for troll hunting. I replied by posting Jimrobs thread from yesterday about FR being invaded by punk trolls in response. Didn’t hear back after that.

Oh, I see the 7s. 6d. was already questioned. See my post and links at 1353. Kenya was on a decimal system long before 1964, and Australia not until 1966.

When this is all done and we’re drinking beer, reminiscing, I’m gonna ask MHG how he got a pass. Maybe I bribed the wrong official.

This is from a screen capture from her site link that I did *early* yesterday when the thread first broke. It seems this kerfluffle is MY FAULT for posting a low resolution JPEG, never intended to be a forensic study, on FR to allow people a quick look at the Kenyan BC. Sheesh.
I've put our rail built for two on order... looks like we are really going to need it.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

You can save that image as a JPEG on your computer, then zoom in and plainly see the K. Ive got a Mac and Im using the Preview app. Ive zoomed in several levels, and though the photo gets blurry, the K is plain as day. In fact, its clearer at higher levels of magnification than the other letters and numbers. Ive zoomed in six levels and its still readable, while everything else around it is hopelessly blurred. I, Swordmaker, created the JPEG image that is at the top of this thread. I have the original PNG capture file on my desktop from which it was created. The letter is an "E"! The appearance of a "K" is an artifact of the conversion from PNG to JPEG caused by simplifying the anti-aliasing of the character displayed.

the abreviation for pence has always been ‘d’ in Commonwealth countries.
pounds, shillings and pence is/was written:
Pound Sign. S (for shilling) d (for pence.)
To: Swordmaker
It’s all your fault. Maybe the DUmmies will focus on you for a while & give JimRob & Polarik a break.

Ok, now I see the 'K'..
To: Tellurian
I had the same problem with the currency.
7 shillings, 6 pence is consistent with Australian currency in 1964 (12 pence to the shilling).
However, in East Africa they were using shillings divided into 100 cents.
Also, in Australia, a first world country, paying 7s, 6p was not an unreasonable amount to pay for a certified birth registration.
But in Kenya, a third world country with millions and millions of people living at subsistence level, 7s, 6p (setting aside the incorrect currency designation) would have been an ENORMOUS amount for the average Kenyan to pay for a birth certificate. Now having said that, it may have been that most Kenyans did not bother, or were not in a position, to have their births registered, but still, for those who did, that would have been extremely expensive.
