It was short and not terribly informative. All I can remember now is "Nimrod - son of Ham". Also, the British had a twin-engined bomber in WWII that was called a Nimrod. It was shot out of the air almost as often as it took off. Some useless trivia from the fingers of: Herb Chong... I'm user-friendly -- I don't byte, I nybble....
