 Roy, the last thing I want is a theological discourse! 8-)

 In lighter vein, I throw in this curious definition of the conqueror
 Napoleon's activities:

 NAPOLEWN APOLEWN POLEWN OLEWN LEWN EWN (E Cobham Brewer, /The Reader's

 IMHO this only makes sense if APOLEIA means Destruction.

 In holiday mood,
