Dear Andy;-
    I'm delighted you noticed the impossibility of Linnaeus writing the
works of Linnaeus. The truth is that Linneaus was the true author of
Shakespeare. This allowed the combination of Sir Thomas More and Sir
Stafford Cripps to combine on the works formerly attributed to Linnaeus.
I think you must all be getting ready for the Springtime return of
flying pigs.
