Yes.....by some *Miracle* Junior 6a also lost.
You should submit your tourney results to the
Vatican to see if they qualify you for canonization.
"Since becoming pope in 1978, John Paul has performed
278 canonizations, you could be 279 !!.

Either that/or.

Maybe you didn't throw the *bones* high enough.!!
Thanks.
