[CTRL] YOUR ROYAL REPTILE

[Ole Gerstrøm]

In February this year the danish queen Margrethe II visited her british colleague, the well known Elizabeth II. First Elizabeth threw a dinner, and the next day, when they got hungry, Margrethe invited. This was called the return dinner. Because the Royal Danish Ballet had to perform a Pas de Sept, there had to be dancing space, and thus, we are told, the halls of the London Museum of Natural History were chosen for the event. On the walls were rows of plesiosauruses, but the dominant reptile in the large hall was the enormous diplodicus. The photograpers got ideas for some good shots, but they were specifically ordered, not under any circumstance, to take pictures of the british royals next to any skeleton reptile.   Source: Berlingske Tidende, 20. february, 2000.   Love, Ole Gerstrom, Denmark
