DCML Digest, Vol 70, Issue 10

[Rob Klein]

Regarding Larry Giver's question, of "whether England and Scotland were united 
in 1564...-they were NOT.  They were united in 1707.  However,-that doesn't 
mean that a Scotsman couldn't have served in the English navy.

Scrooge also mentioned that his father wore a miner's cap. But, maybe he was a 
fetishist?
