I get that a *lot*, reason being that I'm perhaps the most eccentric of
the group I associate with, which is quite the eccentric bunch. Once we
tried to figure out which 20th century politician was a reincarnation of
Jesus, ("There had to have been at least one", I said.) but that fell
apart when we got to Hitler. I was on the "no" side of the fence, but
some had reason to believe "yes", and the points are valid, if
unconvincing. I won't post them here, because I'm sure someone out there
would be offended by them.
