You Just Never Know

I'm no fan of royalty (it's just a dictatorship by a more genteel name) but this is a story that certainly doesn't come along everyday.

From Yahoo...
For years, Charles Wesley Mumbere worked as a nurse's aide in Maryland and Pennsylvania, caring for the elderly and sick. No one there suspected that he had inherited a royal title in his African homeland when he was just 13.

On Monday, after years of political upheaval and financial struggle, Mumbere, 56, was finally crowned king of his people to the sound of drumbeats and thousands of cheering supporters wearing cloth printed with his portraits.


Here'e hoping that Mumbere is a benevolent dictator...uhh I mean king.
