Reminds me of where the term chancellor of the exchequer came from.I remember reading that the original exchequer was a cloth (carpet like) with squares on it like a chess board.See wiki for more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchequer
Exchequer, in england at least, has to do with a heck of a lot of money and managing the economy.I'm not sure if the original cloth was red with grey squares, but it'd be interesting if it was.
Yellow taxi, hmm, not getting anything right now.It's all food for thought though.Thanks for sharing!
