    So what determines that these guys are the hottest? How they look in their portraits? How incredibly shallow. ;o)

    Calling these guys "hot" is kinda like saying your grandmother is hot; do you have any idea how old these guys would be if they were still alive today? I do. Good old Matt is one of my ancestors. (I take after him in always being fashionably late -- his is the last signature on the Declaration.)
