 Just out of curiosity, does Kings County live up to King Charles II, 
 known as the "Merry Monarch" because of his coterie of mistresses? 
  
 Of course, Junior's Cheesecake, which I have lost due to diabetes, has 
 been known to induce its own form of orgasm. 
  
 One of the reasons Brooklyn lost its independence (officially, it 
 wasn't taken over by NYC - NYC, Brooklyn, Staten Island and what is 
 now Queens were consolidated into a new 5 borough city) is that King 
 Charles II drew the border between NY County (Manhattan) and Kings and 
 Queens counties so that NY County got the entire East River up to the 
 high tide line of Long Island. 
  
 The result was that Brooklyn didn't control its downtown waterfront - 
 a ferry from Brooklyn to NYC might run entirely within the City and 
 County of NY.
