just to straighten out this particularly bizarre confusion:
if you remember from the factoid books, when parallel numbnuts in 1914 were sent out to fight for their various motherlands, all were assured that "the boyz will be home by christmas."
which i think was assumed to refer to christmas of that same year, 1914, and not to another that would be 16 million dead, 21 million wounded and 4 years later.
