Queen guitarist Brian May finally hands in his thesis for his astronomy PhD some 36 years after abandoning it to join the band!

Good for him! That just makes me respect him all that much more....and after all these years I figured that his song '39 would have earned him an honorary PhD somewhere!

Very witty Francis! If Mercury Insurance catches wind of your post we can expect another investigative commercial in search of Mercurians. Terry
