My ancestors, um, contributed quite a bit of genetic material there during the Viking years. A bunch of 'em hung out in Orkney for several centuries, until Norway gave it back to Scotland as part of a dowry arrangement. (hell of a wedding present...) Oddly enough, the Scots Kings felt that giving their daughters to the Vikings would make 'em go away. Sure, worked for a year or three, at which time they came back and said "Yeh, well, we're back. Has she got a sister, then?" or words to that effect. I also like a nice dram from time to time. Couple times a month we have "Scotch night". I work in downtown Milwaukee (Wisconsin), and there's a great bar right across the road with literally hundreds of different Scotch to try. At two a month, it'll take forever to get through 'em, but a man's gotta have a goal, y'know? Dave Hinz
