Jim isnt it ironic that Robs band was called Catherine Wheel, while the band his cousin Bruce was in is called Iron Maiden! both are torture devices !!!

It's not really that surprising. We British steep ourselves in our dark ages past, me lord. Streets/pubs/civic buildings named after horrific historic events is very common.

Kids are still taught ring-a-ring-a-rosey at school... Being a British child is very macabre. No wonder we spawned heavy metal.

Never in my years did I think I would read about Catherine Wheel on a hockey forum. Huzzah! If you haven't already, check out the LP "Ferment." It's pretty stinking good.

Howard Hill was a legendary archer...His feats were so amazing the stories almost seem fake. Hill won 198 NFAA (National Field Archers Association) archery events in a row. He never lost an event. It's unimaginable, it's like a pro golfer undefeated for 10 or so years.

Hill was so amazing Sports Illustrated even named him the 28th greatest Athlete from Alabama in their 50 best from 50 states. Think how many incredible athletes have come from Alabama and an Archer makes that list? The 50 greatest sports figures of the century from each of the 50 states

Here is one his many stories...Pretty cool stuff.


And another - A younger Howard
