bjarvisThe Powerball lottery jackpot is now up to $300 million USD. I've got a few places I could put that kinda change... paying off the mortgage, learning to fly, perhaps some travel to Canada and Britain, remodelling of our basement and the main floor bathroom...
EDIT: That's about $346 million CDN. I only mention this because surely my mother has probably already done the calculation in her head and would be preparing to spend $347 million. :-^

and God Save the Queen
even the third verse,
O Lord our God arise / scatter her enemies / and make them fall
(dee da dee dah)
Confound their politics / frustrate their knavish tricks /
on thee our hopes we fix / god save us all
???
I had to learn verses 1 & 2 (God save our gracious Queen, and Thy choicest gifts in store) to get my second star when a Wolf Cub (4th East Barnet pack); but the knavish tricks verse came as a happy surprise years later.
