Found and removed from the article the following questionable birth:
- 1986 - Jeffrey Fynn, Cuban cigar producer
I wasn't able to verify this (he also seems a tad young to be a cigar producer). Entry made by 207.35.188.13. Many of the edits of this IP have been reverted as clear nonsense and/or tests (one might also call it vandalism). The IP resolves to ares.tdsb.on.ca, a Toronto public school.

I was about to delete this strange entry, then I found this BBC news article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/somerset/3534361.stm
So I guess it's legit'. Hmmm... -- PFHLai 08:57, 2005 Mar 3 (UTC)
