Columbus said to the Spanish king
I'll let you in on a might fine thing.
We'll find America for the Queen
as soon as I vote for 1 and 15

with apologies to anon.

- Jim

[Daniel B. Widdis]

I'll follow the Spanish-voting crowd, offering an honorable mention to 1 but
votes to 15 and 19.

[Nancy Shepherdson]

I'll take 5 and 16, I guess.

[Chuck]

Matthew,

A very suggestive word. I'll try -

14: an alternative name for the gold standard [from Fr.]

and

16: a month in the French Revolutionary calendar, which was in use from
1793 to 1805.

with a parting over the shoulder glance at the chalice.

Thanks,

Chuck

[Tony Abell]

I, too, cannot escape the Spanish sense of the word. That's probably why it is
not Spanish. So 15 and 19, like everyone else.

[Chris Carson]

I might as well go with the flow -

15 and 19
