Not sure how you got a D out of Caine or Micklewhite even. We except the stage name as being correct, even if they were born something entirely different. We dont however except letters just because they are from the same alphabet.

Colin Fry would have been exceptable, even though he is as phony as Phony Blair.

Oprah Gail Winfrey (born January 29, 1954) is an American media personality, Academy Award nominated actress, producer, literary critic and magazine publisher, best known for her self-titled, multi-award winning talk show, which has become the highest-rated program of its kind in history. She has been ranked the richest African American of the 20th century, the most philanthropic African American of all time, and was once the world's only black billionaire. She is also, according to some assessments, the most influential woman in the world.

Winfrey was born into poverty in rural Mississippi to a teenage single mother and later raised in an inner-city Milwaukee neighborhood. She experienced considerable hardship during her childhood, including being raped at the age of nine and becoming pregnant at 14; her son died in infancy. Sent to live with the man she calls her father, a barber in Tennessee, Winfrey landed a job in radio while still in high school and began co-anchoring the local evening news at the age of 19. Her emotional ad-lib delivery eventually got her transferred to the daytime talk show arena, and after boosting a third-rated local Chicago talk show to first place, she launched her own production company and became internationally syndicated.

Maurice Cotterell



In 1989 engineer and scientist Maurice Cotterell found a way of calculating the duration of long-term magnetic reversals on the Sun. Using this knowledge he was able to break the codes of ancient sun-worshipping civilisations, first the Mayas of Central America, those of Tutankhamun, of Egypt, and the Viracochas’ of South America, before cracking the codes of the Terracotta Warriors of China.

His research explains how the 28-day spinning Sun regulates menstruation, and hence fertility, in females and how it determines personality of the foetus in the womb (sun-sign astrology). It explains how the Sun causes schizophrenia, how overhead power lines cause cancer and how VDU's (TV and computer screens) cause miscarriages. And it explains how the Sun brings periodic catastrophic destruction to earth.

His own unique decoding process reveals amazing pictures from archaeological treasures that explain the spiritual mysteries of life; what God is, what Heaven is, what the Devil is, what Hell is, why we are born, why we die and why this has to be.

In 2004 he broke the codes of the sun-worshipping Celts that, together with secrets from the Temple of Inscriptions in Mexico and the Gateway of the Sun at Tiahuanaco, helped him to identify and locate the Holy Grail—the actual cup used by Christ and his Disciples at the Last Supper—and Excalibur, the legendary sword of King Arthur. The Celtic Chronicles (2006) explains how Joseph of Arimathea carried the Grail to England where it was discovered by Arthur who, by ‘drawing the sword from the stone’, cracked the codes of the Celts for himself, to behold the cup of light. He explains how the Grail was passed to monks for safe-keeping, how it inspired them to write the Lindisfarne Gospels, how they fled from Vikings—across the Irish Sea to the new monastery at Kells—and how it found its way to the National Museum of Ireland where it rests, alongside Excalibur, today, proving that the so-called Arthurian Legends are actually based on fact.

In March, 2007, he put forward a new theory on how gravity must work and presented a lecture on the subject to an international audience in Nevada, USA. By December he had revised the Work to include a step-by-step guide explaining how the gravitational mechanism actually works [How Gravity Works] and other associated Works.

His books, best described as ‘adventure fact’, bring together modern science, spirituality and ancient wisdom to unlock the secrets of the past and the science of the future.

Horace Batchelor (1898 – 1977) was famous in the UK during the late 1950s and early 1960s as an advertiser on Radio Luxembourg.

The product Batchelor was selling was his "famous Infra-Draw Method", which was a system supposed to increase significantly the chances of winning large sums of money on the football pools. In the days before the National Lottery started in 1994, the "Pools" was the only means available for winning very large sums of money for very small stakes. The scheme worked by persuading listeners to submit their pools stakes to Batchelor, whose "method" was then used to determine how the stake was placed. Batchelor only received payment in the case of the bet winning, which seemed fair, but led to his effectively receiving a large number of free stakes. It was thus not dependent on his predictive abilities for its financial success

Francis Bacon,

1st Viscount St Alban KC (22 January 1561 – 9 April 1626), son of Nicholas Bacon by his second wife Anne (Cooke) Bacon, was an English philosopher, statesman, scientist, lawyer, jurist, and author. He served both as Attorney General and Lord Chancellor of England. Although his political career ended in disgrace, he remained extremely influential through his works, especially as philosophical advocate and practitioner of the scientific revolution. Indeed, his dedication may have brought him into a rare historical group of scientists who were killed by their own experiments.
