called out to work today because of especially low tides.<br><br>Heh, not many jobs where that's the case. nuq Data'?<br><br>> I'm so excited

this poem a famous piece of literature in Georgia? Will normal people be
somewhat familiar with it?<br><br>Very much. What Dante is to Italian or Shakespeare to English, Shota Rustaveli is to Georgian. Even more so, maybe - before the 20th century it was customary for a copy, often illuminated, to form part of new brides' trousseaux, and the main avenue of Tbilisi and two Georgian universities are named after Rustaveli.<br><br>> I will have to learn enough Georgian to
explain that I read it in the original Klingon. Or maybe not.<br><br>I'm not sure how they'd deal with that! :) They'd be glad you knew about it, though, through whatever means it happened to be.<br><br>QeS<br></div> </div></body>
