Wow...
I wonder if William would be the type of guy who would take his wife's last name instead of the other way around?... Laughing

Wow. That's pretty amazing, Vanessa. Quite coincidental. Shocked

Although, that would have made William around 58 and Mary about 50 at the time of PBB. Except for the ages that don't quite fit, that's a surprising find.

That is.... I I am at a loss of words. True it would make then fifty... mary would be a fifty year old virgin and her father to old to get up... maybe... but still wow

How morbidly coincidental.

I was going to say they're dead ringers, myself. Razz

One might say the likeness of the names are all but dead on.

Woah that is truely weird. I guess it's true when they say that truth is stranger than fiction. Shocked

William and Mary is a very common name and there are many people married that are William and Mary....

I actually know a couple who is a William (Bill) and a Mary...

And there is a College in Virginia, USA called "William and Mary University"

Now the last name "Blue" makes it a good concidence.

Nightwolf, if you truly believe that then I must wonder what kind of truths you've been exposed to as well as what kind of fiction. I realize that may have sounded a little offensive and I assure you, no offense was meant but I have never met anyone who could say they truly believed truth is stranger than fiction. I admit, truth can be more shocking than fiction but stranger, I've yet to experience that or meet someone who has. However, that's just one mans opinion.

Uh, Ashton, I think you meant to refer to Ultimawolf, not me. Rolling Eyes

I said nothing of the sort. Just agreed with mostly everyone else about it.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 15 Feb 2007 Posts: 4668

My sincerest apologies Nightwolf, you are indeed correct. Chalk up another grammatical error to my sleep deprived self. I reiterate my previous statement with the addendum of the name, now directed at UltimaWolf0. Embarassed

Time is a fickle thing. When you have, it's hard to think of things to do with it. When you need it, it's across town at some sleazy bar.

Hm, that reminds me of an old riddle I heard in one of my favorite books turned movie. From The Hobbit, the riddle is thus: "This thing owns things devours, births, eats, drinks, flowers, mows iron, bites steel, grinds hard stones to meal, slays king, ruins town, and brings tall mountain down!" The riddle is posed to Bilbo Baggins by Golum and I quoted it exactly from Golum's mouth, not an easy thing to do, considering Golums voice. For those of you who just want the answer without solving the riddle, the 20th, 9th, 13th, and 5th letters of the English alphabet form the answer. For those of you who may try to solve the riddle, good luck. (Please do not post the answer here)

Oooh, good choice. Riddles are a lot of fun, so long as there isn't something waiting to devour you if you don't guess correctly.

Unfortunatly, I speak very little Italian, I'm still learning, so I shall simply have to take your good word for it, Vanessa, though I thought the last riddle was posed by Bilbo to Golum and went "What have I got in my pocket?", was it not?

Yes, but it was not a umh.."real" riddle.. but was a question , I suppose. Confused

But I can mistake Neutral

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 15 Feb 2007 Posts: 4668

True, it was more a question than a riddle, but, for stories sake if nothing else, I felt compelled to mention it.

If you ask me, this could be in some way connected with the characters we know.

Ever heard the chaos theory? There are events that don't have any visible, direct influence on following actions and yet they are inseparably connected to them...

..or it could be a weird coincidense!
