    Because it's such a nuisance having to talk about "this one over here"  and "that one over there". In ancient Egypt they called it "The Winding Waterway" because the shape resembled the portion of the Nile that passed through Egypt.

    LOL!

    "Medicore"? Is that a chain of private hospitals?
