Bill, what did Bohr say?  Looks like the quote is missing a word or two(?)

Well it was the Danes who gave us Niels Bohr. He did have one great line,
among others I'm sure.  Bohrs upon hearing of Einstein's protests that
quantum physics could not be right because, "God does not play at dice with
the Universe," said "I was Einstein would quite telling God what to do."

Not to forget Victor Borge.

Well, I have a question too.  If , as Klaus sez:

"HM the Queen has four household guards on foot and 2 mounted ones."

then how many legs are there altogether?       (see answer below)

And I have another question - why does HM the Queen have two horses in
her house?

ΓΏ (22 legs altogether, counting the Queen)

I like that sort of humour. You almost have qualified to be naturalised as a
Dane. Which would
bring not bring you to many benefits, as our prime minister takes a pride in
cloning your
president. Without getting personal nor political: none of them are artists
in the sense of being
a musician.
