Greetings, Anglophiles!
Today is Remembrance Sunday in Britain, so please take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices that military men and women have made, past and present.
In honor of the occasion, here is a recent article on Remembrance Day/Remembrance Sunday.
Red Poppies and Remembrance
If you're seeing poppies popping up everywhere (artificial ones, that is), then make sure to stop for a moment and reflect on what they represent. November 11 is Remembrance Day (also known as Armistice Day), a day of reflection for all of the UK, followed by Remembrance Sunday.

Please visit the forum and play the Da Vinci Code trivia game. "The Rough Guide to the Da Vinci Code" is still up for grabs to whomever is the first to answer three trivia questions correctly.
