earl 2's Comments

Several of his ancestors, including the Marquis d'Equilly, had distinguished military careers. Patrice MacMahon, duc de Magenta was a Marshal of armies in France, serving under Napoleon III, and later President. McMahon once asserted to Johnny Carson that mayonnaise was originally named MacMahonnaise in honor of this ancestor, referring to him as the Comte de MacMahon. In his autobiography, McMahon said that it was his father who told him of this relationship and he went on to suggest that he was not certain of the truth of the story.

If memory serves, in the movie "The Big Easy" Dennis Quaid's character, Detective McSwain, throws a powerful magnet through a shop window. When the magnet is checked into the evidence room, the friendly evidence clerk places the magnet next to a surveillance tape that show's McSwain taking a bribe. Both the evidence and the case against him is thus destroyed.

How appropriate. Drinking a 12-ounce can of Pepsi is the equivalent of eating about 10 teaspoons of raw sugar. Addiction to sugar-based sodas is a major component of the obesity epidemic in this country.
