Did You Know? Saturday

From Eats, Shoots & Leaves for today:

"According to the British newspaper columnist "Beachcomber", in Elizabethan England a greengrocer happened to notice a misplaced apostrophe in a royal decree. When he pointed it out, Queen Elizabeth I immediately created the office of Apostropher Royal, to control the quality and distribution of apostrophes and deliver them in wheelbarrows to all the greengrocers of England on the second Thursday of every month (Apostrophe Thursday)."

Well, they didn't include this in the Elizabeth I movies, did they?

P.S. I missed Wednesday -
