Re: Boole ....

Nice history lesson, but all fiction.

The truth is that the mascot for the Chicago Bulls was kidnapped by some Spanish speaking folks. They wanted a zillion dollars ransom for his return.

When the money was left at the dropoff point, the kidnappers left a note with the phone number on it to call.

The guy who did the money-drop called the number, and was disappointed to hear the following regarding the whereabouts of the bull.

"Eet weel take you an Eon to find ze boool".

Thus, the term "bool-eon".

Out of this sordid tale of cowardly kidnappers was also born the world's finest cure for the common cold ... chicken bool-eon.
