To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Because there has only been one famous Johnson in the entire history of man, right?

Way to go, Cal.

There are many Johnsons, but only one Johnson. Just like there are many Alexanders, but only one Alexander.

And if you had any clue what the answer was you'd know which Johnson.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

There's at least two, and they make shampoo.

Most of us don't even know the question.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Asking vague questions in this thread originated with you.  It's nice to see Viking keep the spirit alive, but it makes for dull trivia.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I really don't know what the question is about though.  Is it President Andrew Johnson, LBJ, Ben Johnson?
