What's what to do with what?

If you mean me, Sphynx is a wordplay on
Cogito, ergo sum, ( Latin: “I think, therefore I am) Descartes,
Wilson, Keppel & Betty were a much loved music hall act
best known for " The Sand Dance"The act was usually performed to the familiar Egyptian Ballet (1875), by Alexandre Luigini.


Pardon me for being ratty but there are so many notables in here these days that I have to hold my corner

Re: Gumbud Leisurely Scribbles (part 4)

Not a lot of people know that William Randolph Hearst the billionaire wanted a real full sized Pyramid built on one of his estates in Arizona (he had a good sense of Yuma too) this was back in the 1940’s, He thought a Pyramid would be the ultimate in status symbolism. He had to forget the idea when he couldn’t find anyone capable of building it, sky scrapers were going up in all the big cities in America and not one of the companies knew how to build a Pyramid. Why are these skills lost to us now? because they didn’t continue teaching Pyramid courses down through the ages, I believe Hearst was heard to cry out in frustration on his death bed “My Kingdom for a Pyramid builder”

Re: Gumbud Leisurely Scribbles (part 4)

you mean the three of ya were all switched on? wow - the synchronicity must have been mind boggling - can you boggle your mind by the way?

Re: Gumbud Leisurely Scribbles (part 4)

I have a boggling mind. In one way when you get older you can forget things. This can be good as recently I was reading a story on my Kindle, (is there any other way?) that I felt sure that I had read before. But I could not remember.
Now what was I going to add? See I have forgotten.
Oh yes.. Merry Christmas.
