2 That's interesting, Castro was excommunicated a year to the day after the US severed ties. Anybody know if Pope John Paul re- communicated him on his trip to Cuba?

6 "da Vinci unsuccessfully tests a flying machine!?" Does this mean that his attempt to test his machine was unsuccessful, e.g., not enough wind? Or did you mean that his test resulted in an unsuccessful fight, e.g., the wings fell off?

At the risk of sounding like Jon Cary or Slick Willie, there is difference.
