Quote from: "Mouse"...What's going on?

Did you know that the first known use of the @ symbol dates from Italy in 1536?

And what did @ mean back in Italy in 1536?

And no, I didn't know that.

Predating the equals sign (which is of welsh origin) by two hundred years!

Hey Batchain! How's that portable Bat signal doing?

Ooh, may have forgotten to add 'Joan as Police Woman' to my discoveries of last year. That was just ace!

And Hochar, the kid brother of Chateau Musar, that's been a newfound friend too.
