And is there some other hidden common thread to the above four guys? LOL

[jon-nyc]

White males? All lived in NY?

John Derbyshire had a bit part in a Bruce Lee movie when he lived in Hong Kong as a young man, in fact I think Bruce Lee kicked his ass in a film. That makes him cooler than the rest of us.

But really I was reflecting on the end of CS after 166 years.

That’s hard to believe.

The end, not your compadres.

It’s amazing. In 1856 the Crimean War and Opium Wars were still raging. Dred Scott had yet to be decided. Robert Schumann died that year.

@jon-nyc

Unfortunately the Crimean War has been rekindled. Coincidence?

[jon-nyc]

If Schumann gets reincarnated it will be worth it.
