Another little known fact about royalty that concerns the British royal
family.  They were originally horse thieves.  But when the gummint tried to
hang one, the Windsor trait of having no chins allowed him to slip thru the
rope.  Since they could not hang him, they made him king so as to stop the
horse stealing.
