He was the Major washed ashore on a Portugese beach to dazzle the Germans on the invasionplans.

On the previous question it is more like 2P + 3B- 166. Or, maybe P^2B^3-2.649x10^8. After all those pesky letters don't just vanish! See what too much advanced math in college gets you..... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Just giving you a hard time. It was a good question, I didn't understand it b\c I'm new, so I'm just throwing in my 2 sense. LOL, don't mind me... I'm just here to learn something.
When did you go to Normandy, what beaches, museums did you go to? I just went there about 2 weeks ago. It was the coolest trip I've been on in a while, with the exception of my honeymoon!!! (wife is over my shoulder)...LOL
