Keep in mind that nobody prior to the 1840s thought W.S. wasn't the author.

And who started it all?  1857- Della Bacon writes the first book on the
subject.  That's right...a descendant of Francis Bacon.  Go figure.

I'm going to go see the movie with a bunch of The Baron's Men.  I will treat
it with the same respect I gave G.I. Joe: there are real weapons in it, cool
clothes, cute actresses, and some fun explosions.


Nicely put! Thank you.
