I think PDH got it.  IIRC it came from "hoc est corpus" but I forgot exactly how it transformed into "hocus pocus", when, or who was responsible.

The British general Charles O'Hara had the dubious distinction of being the only man to surrender to what two other famous men?

Why would a British general surrender to a British general? :huh:

Yep.  Technically he surrendered to Benjamin Lincoln at Yorktown, since Washington refused to accept his surrender because he felt Cornwallis should be surrendering to him, not his lieutenant O'Hara (Cornwallis was pretending to be sick).... but Washington was the opposing commander.

He surrenders to Napoleon, decides to fight for the French, then surrenders to the British?

Several years ago, the New Zealand Special Service Medal-Erebus was created by the government of New Zealand to recognize personnel from several countries for what specific reason?

Giving good head.
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

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017
