Cool pic JJ!

BTW James, it is not like they actually had invented the camera yet when JJ was a baby.

Daren's right. When JJ was born they were still employing stonecutters to carve the baby's likeness out of marble or granite.

I think the camera was invented 50 years after JJ's birth.

From what I heard, JJ was one of the first to get a colour television, but he had to wait five years for electricity to arrive before he could use it as the manufacturer recommended.

I will be more than happy to help you get used to be unable to clap... mainly by taking that horrible Ex II off your hands that will only remind you of those past days when you could still do a push up...
your welcome my friend.
