    Ivory sculpture in Germany could be world's oldest

    Who could have guessed it would have revealed an interest in women with unfeasible breasts and no body hair?

    Queen Anne of Great Britain

    What the picture doesn't capture is that she was enormously fat. Her coffin was almost a cube.

    Who was the nuttiest nut of all time?

    Almost. He was listening to the screams over the telephone was the unfortunate chap was chainsawed to death, to a soundtrack of polka music. Stroessner was also a paedophile.

    Who was the nuttiest nut of all time?

    Good call. Jose Gaspar Rodriguez de Francia 1766-1840. Or, as he preferred to be addressed, "El Supremo". He was Paraguay's first dictator, and under him Paraguay became a sort of prototype socialist state a good 100 years before it became trendy in the world at large. Dr Francia gets a...

    Who was the nuttiest nut of all time?

    John Mytton (1796- 1834) Mytton started early- he was expelled from Westminster School at the age of 12 for repeatedly getting involved in fist-fights with his teachers (which he usually won), and for leaving horses in his tutor's (upper storey) bedroom. He was expelled from Harrow after only...

    Gun crime in UK doubled despite ban

    I'm not going to repeat myself, having already addressed this point. Whatever. We've established that many reservations are both poor, and hotbeds of crime (particularly rape- which certainly is a violent crime). We can argue about which direction the crime is headed in racial terms, but...

    How powerful is Satan?

    Second time you've quoted that post of mine. I didn't think it was that noteworthy. I'm not querying your intelligence or education in the slightest- but take a look at your posts from a position of detachment. The one thing they lack is a way to make them comprehensible to another reader...

    Gun crime in UK doubled despite ban

    And Native Americans only make up 2% of the US population. Granted, there are ghettoisation issues on reservations, but given an already abnormally-high rape rate, that starts to look like a disproportionately large number of native-on-native rapes Secondly you get the skewing factor of the...

    Gun crime in UK doubled despite ban

    Depressed cities with declining manufacturing bases topping the table. Yep- that was predictable. It's a trend you'll see all over the developed world.

    The sexuality of monarchs

    Mary showed no interest in men at all, and had lesbian relationships in her youth. There were also persistant rumours that William was bisexual -he was linked with one of the male members of the Villiers family- the name escapes me. Interestingly enough, Elizabeth Villiers was his mistress...

    The sexuality of monarchs

    You'd be more challenged to find a gay/bi monarch who didn't reproduce. She was very publicly in love with Sarah Churchill.

    Gun crime in UK doubled despite ban

    Everyone breaks the law. A better correlation is to say that most people convicted of murder turn out to be people previously convicted of other crimes.

    Started promisingly, ended bafflingly. Classic Denke.
