Hold on, don�t get the wrong idea. I
don�t mean shot, as in the gunslingin� cowboys of ol�
Nevada. Nor am I referring to the mean streets of new
Nevada. The �shot� I�m talking about was done with a

In 1495 the Roman Catholic Church allowed
those who pay a fee to consume butter during fast days.
It is believed that monies collected from this �butter
tax� paid for the construction of a part of the
Cathedral of Rouen that came to be known as the �Butter
Tower.�.......
