Isn't Charles next in line anyway??
I'm assuming that's why she will live to be over 100 and not step down

Yes, he is, and as far as I know the British Constitution doesn't allow her to either abdicate, or name her successor. I was reading about it earlier when I heard this rumor. The succession is set in stone, but the British Parliament can remove a monarch who is deemed unfit to govern. That info is on the Royal Family website.

That is what I understood also, did not know about Parliaments power of removal though. Has it ever been exercised?

No. It was introduced as part of the conditions for the Restoration of the Monarchy, following the Interregnum. James II was invited to re-establish the Monarchy under conditions laid down by Parliament.
One of the other constitutional niceties I'm aware of is that the monarch may not set foot inside the House of Commons, which is why the Members have to enter the House of Lords for the State opening of Parliament.

The brain that Broca used to determine the brain's speech center, Broca's area, belongs to Louis Victor Leborgne born in Moret, France in 1809. His identity had been unknown for 150 years.
Leborgne suffered from a lifetime of epilepsy which damaged the speech center of his brain rendering him only capable of saying one word, "tan." He came from an educated family and his father was a teacher.
He met Broca shortly before he died.

That's high. I was on TV. The Ask Asa show on fox in NY. During 911 my Sprint phone bill had charges of over 5,000 that I didn't make from all of these different countries and of course they wanted me to pay so I submitted an email to them and got the charges removed.
Miles has been in TV too. The Spanish Channel Univision. They were mocking Latin celebrities with doggie lookalikes. It was very funny lol.
