Uh, no -- not "C.E.." You should have written, "6th Century A.D.." We are not politically correct pagans, especially not when talking about a Catholic bishop like Saint Elvis! For the ignorant, "A.D." stands for "Anno Domini" -- Latin for "in the year of the Lord" (i.e., since the birth of Jesus Christ). “In fact, it dates to at least the 6th century C.E., to an Irish-born bishop named St. Elvis.”

Tom couldn't go with him because Tom was a Dutch illegal immigrant to the US so couldn't get a passport.

Fantastic :) Not really on topic, but I had to post:
