THANKS A LOT FOR IDENTIFYING THESE GENTLEMEN----I HAVE SEEN A PICTURE WITH THE GERMAN RULER---THE ENGLISH RULER AND THE RUSSIAN RULER SITTING TOGETHERAND IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN AT THIS SAME MEETING----BUT THE THREE LOOKED LIKE TRIPLETS---THEY ALL HAD THE LATE QUEEN VICTORIA AS THEIR GRAND MAMA--------LIKE PEAS IN A POD--------WHAT LIFE MUST HAVE BEEN LIKE TO HAVE BEEN ONE OF THESE MEN AT THIS TIME IN HISTORY....................

And 100 yrs from now, people will look back on pictures of us and say, "Geeze, how could those people live like that? They had to fly if they had to go some place in a hurry, we have transponders in which we can be anyplace in the world in 4 minutes. And cancer? Wasn't that some kind of desease? I'm not sure, but I think it killed many people. Didn't they have some sort of wireless comunication....with objects they poked at and yelled into them? Well, we must have come a long way because we just thought transmit now. And the Chicago Cubs? Heck it's now been 215 yrs since they won the Universal Series." (Used to be called the World Series....Cubs last won the W S in 1908)
