Just a Disclaimer: I have no idea how much of the posted content is true as I haven't checked it myself with the history manuals. So, don't quote me on the authenticity of the content. If the info indeed is true, then I am simply AMAZED with the coincidences.

You thanked post #4, so I am assuming that you read that link and should therefore know how much if it is true and hence not be amazed.

I think Boca meant that Rabtag, Desi and Boca have too much time on their hands to be wasting on correcting meaningless small coincidences and supposed coincidences. Heck, it is a friday, I need to go and do some sudoku.

This is such an old subject - it has been circulating in the internet ever since the days I came to US - about 15-20 years ago. Why is it still so popular to forward (or post) these kind of articles again and again?

This is an old timer - classic , partial truth myth, circulating on net for a long,
with too much overblown and most of the things force-fitted.
