Nah it's easier than that mate, Mudcat wouldn't let me register as Jock because it is taken, so I used my Italian friend's way of spelling it instead.

Mangare molto pommadori altri pommerigi [Or something like that!]

Oh, there's no real reason for it. None at all. It's just the way things are done. We tried other ways some years back but they didn't work so we went back to the tried-and-true. Sure, you can try something else. Just get the approval of three basilisks, the VP of cherubim, and Trotsky. And you'd better get Roosevelt's approval too. Just to be safe, you know. And the King's. Definitely get the King's. Good luck -- we're always glad to see young people trying new ideas.

But what if you let it go on for say, 40 years? And somebody puts it in a time capsule. And sends it into outer space, which, by that time, will be irrelevant, since THEY will have already landed and will have placed themselves up as political leaders, like Hilary Clinton. HEY!
