Evil tooth vampire?Holy crap! I've just discovered the origin of the Jamaica? No she went on her own accord. It's from The Colditz Story. 1957. And that is my fact of the day.

It's a movie. British officers and others trying to escape a German castle that has been converted to a prison camp. A serious movie. I wasn't paying attention, and all of a sudden I heard the lines. Wild.

I had a feeling it went back a long ways. The way they played it in the Colditz Story made it sound like it was borrowed from previous acts.

I like how Peter Butterworth was considered unathletic enough to not appear in The Wooden Horse,despite him actually being one of the PoWs who was jumping over the thing while the three guys were tunneling underneath.

HehI found out this week I need root canal work on a tooth. That means I need a crown fitted afterwards.
As it turns out our insurance covers almost all of the cost, so it's under $300.
Apparently though my wife's boss just had a similar thing done, and it cost him $1500. I told her maybe she'd misunderstood. Perhaps he meant an actual crown, like the queen of England has.
