Not many people realize this, because the portraits were quite
flattering, but it is rumored that Queen Elizabeth was microcephalic,
which might have given rise to the remark about the strawberry. It has
been documented that her charter for one of the voyages of Sir Francis
Drake reads that he was empowered to investigate whether privies and
fullers' were the fourth dimension, and for a while it was said the
Great Seal of England read, "Yow! I am having fun!"
