...these were my 3 half-brothers and that they were of the same bloodline there was NO doubt at all...

Oh my GAWD four bleedin' Micca's, the mind boggles.

If any of you ever get the chance, take the train from Teheran to Andimeshk in Iran. I travelled it several times, nothing mementous happened at any time but the scenery is out of this world.

Going through the mountains one goes through tunnels and across the most rickety looking trestles, incredible feats of engineering. Then there the ruins of early Islamic bridges and dams that are absolutely fantastic. My boss always wondered why I didn't use Iran air.
