That's interesting...I watched part of a documentary series on it late last year I believe, and find it crossing my mind fairly often now. Definitely not every few days though.

Does the Holy Roman Empire count? Some might say that it wasn't holy, Roman or an empire. Unreal. I think about that from time to time.
