Windsor 2,143 Posted August 29, 2005 Mary Rhys-Jones, mother of the Countess of Wessex has died. Call me sad but in my search for 'better dead Queen Victoria pictures' I joined a Royalty forum. I thought 'ah - there must be lots of people like me'. I happened to see a thread entitled 'The Earl and Countess of Wessex' and I guessed that it would be about her mother. It was so my first post was about her mother's death. I also recieved my first warning from their mods. Bunch of freaks. They were all like - heartfelt sympathy to Sophie. I put my point accross that the woman wanst even a royal. Bunch of freaks. Wait until I start on Diana. Still haven't found those pictures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuber Mirum 119 Posted August 29, 2005 I was reading up on the Royals too, today, and discovered that not only is HM the Queen the great granddaughter of Queen Victoria, Prince Philip is allegedly great grandson of Victoria too. On his mother's side and on his father's side! No wonder Charlie looks so odd. If that is true, it wouldn't take Gregor Mendel to work out that if Prince William marries one of his cousins too, his kids are going to be funny-looking as well. With extra arms and legs and things.

If you go back 16 generations you'd expect to have around 64,000 ancestors. In Prince Charles's case (because of all the royal inter-breeding) it's only about 20,000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted August 30, 2005 World's oldest person dies at 115 The oldest person in the world, Dutchwoman Hendrikje van Andel-Schipper, has died aged 115, the Netherlands national news service NOS reported. The NOS did not give the cause of death, but said Van Andel had died at the home for the elderly in Hoogeveen where she has lived since the Second World War. A fan of the soccer club Ajax, she celebrated her 115th birthday on June 29. Her status as "oldest person" was recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records last year.

Magere Hein 1,397 Posted August 30, 2005 (edited) The NOS did not give the cause of death, but said Van Andel had died at the home for the elderly in Hoogeveen where she has lived since the Second World War. A fan of the soccer club Ajax, she celebrated her 115th birthday on June 29. CNN now has the story. My guess is that it was the shock of Ajax losing to arch-rivals Feyenoord last sunday that did her in. She wasn't eligible under DeathList rules, but she is a hit in my DDP team. regards, Hein Edited August 30, 2005 by Magere Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
