Wow, those a really fantastic results. I would have expected us to
clean up in the Bird Flu category (so to speak), but I was less
certain about the other two - we can definitely be patchy on obscure
(well, to me anyway :)) biographies. Thank god they chose a railway
engineer - I notice that areas that appeal to
collectors/spotters/obsessive compulsives (such as trains, military
aircraft, stamps...) do a lot better than, say, art or vague concepts.
