    Thank you for that. A thread of truth runs through it though.
    Lang may your lum reek and a wee mouse never leaves your cupboard with a tear in its eye.

    It is the job of science to explain life, not direct it.

    Better to be looked over than overlooked. Cock your hat, angles are attitudes.

    Lol.
    Oh, pants were around for a long time before that, but were treated the way a**less chaps are treated now. Poetry written in Ancient Greece suggests that pants were ridiculed and viewed with contempt by the Greeks. You know, the guys who went around dressed in togas.

    Even the Romans saw pants as barbaric. But then Henry VIII came along.
