Uh, Estreeter, you know WAY too much about JB.

Time for some deprogramming. OK, boys, strap him down. Keep those eyes pried open for the marathon of The Sopranos, tape the headphones on for the contiuous loop of The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle, Greetings from Asbury Park, Darkness on the Edge of Town, the River, Born in the USA and Nebraska. Stack the pizzas right there, and make sure the beverages are close at hand.

I guarantee that within 24 hours you'll be sickened by the mere mention of his name.

The singer of Maniac was Michael Sambello-did you ever hear him again after that? Still a good song although the idea that a female welder by day was a raunchy dancer by night was stretching it a bit and most of her dancing was in fact done by three people, one of which was a man in disguise(the bit where she dances in front of three people) and spinning around on the floor-no doubt his 'bits' were taped up!!

In real life it would be a dancer who finished up a welder

Alexander the Great, Caius Julius Caesar & Napoleon Bonaparte (THE 3 greatest military commanders in history) were all left handed.

Georgia is the largest US state east of the Mississippi River.
Savannah is closer to Daytona Beach, Florida & the North Carolina - South Carolina border than it is to Atlanta.
Because of the curvature of the US East Coast, Savannah - which is a coastal city - is actually further west than Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

^To add to that, Caesar was his family surname, not his title.

But it became a title to His successors and a later a synonym for Roman Emperor.Jesus refers to the Emperor Tiberius as "Caesar".

Strictly speaking, the family was the Julii, with the Caesares being a sub-division.

The title Caesar, in the course of time, gave rise to ruling titles Tsar and Kaiser.

Just to finish it off, the correct pronunciation is:
Kai-oos Ee-oo-lee-oos Kay-sar

Ummm, that didn't sound quite right. According to this site:

Michigan, Florida and Wisconsin are larger in area than Georgia. Did you mean "largest" in some other way?
