Great Mysteries of Lost Treasures*


p. 221:     Charles intended to make his wedding ceremony a
         splendid one to dramatize the power of the new 
p. 42:   Burgundy.  The finest things were done there and 
         the best and wisest political organization existed
p. 146:  there. [And] he was determined to get to the 
         Bahamas, where in the "cemetery of galleons" he had
         heard of so often lay immense riches at the bottom
         of the sea.
p. 39       Theodoric succeeded in seriously wounding the
         Burgundian, but resolved to take him prisoner
p. 252   instead of killing him. Was that a treasure even 
         more valuable than the huge sums in hard cash?

I'm 146 percent more confused than I was before reading this.

I found the book by chance. You give me the page number, I choose a sentence and try to string together something like a coherent narrative.

It's fun! :-)

I'm turning 39 next week. I've never liked odd-numbered birthdays. I'd almost rather it was the next one.

Todd Wheeler said on May 27, 2009:

May your birthday be happy, may the cake be your favorite flavor, and may the candles not singe your eyebrows.

Derek said on May 27, 2009:

Thanks!

You know my birthday candles set my hair on fire this year. Thank goodness it only took 13 seconds for someone to put it out.

They must have thought you were doing your Bluebeard impersonation.

L.A. Mitchell said on June 3, 2009:
