  3. I've checked Wikipedia also, and there's seemingly no such thing there anywhere either. I must've heard it wrong, or remembered it wrong.

    I'm fine, thank You very much for caring. :-) Hope You had a Happy Hanukkah, and that You'll have a Happy New Year as well! :-) I wish You all the health and happiness in the world! :-)
