Tarquinus The Proud was NOT Proud

So that’s where the Burger King got his start…

I didn’t know they had cell phones back then.

All of Catherine the Great’s lovers agree that she was.

no shit, he’s got an ipod.

Including the horse?
I know, I know, the master says it didn’t happen, but it is still a cool story… http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/100/is-it-true-about-catherine-the-great-and-the-horse

At least one discenting opinion was “Neigh.”

One of Leonardo da Vinci’s lesser-known inventions.

After a shameful night of drinking and excesses, I can assure you that in many ways, "Ivar the Boneless " is a misnomer at best.

Please do not discuss.

Now that I’ve read Cecil’s column on how Cathy the Great really died . . .

Was it #1 or #2?

My understanding is that Mott the Hoople in the Manus novel was definitively anti-Hoople and feared his inner Hoopleality. The glam rock band named Mott the Hoople was non-Hoople until the band broke up and then each member slowly evolved into Hoople.

No members of Foster the People have applied to be foster parents. It’s moot anyway because no family court would place an entire society into a handful of musicians’ care.*

*Well, with the possible exception of the USA’s 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Foster Brooks, on the other hand, took care of those little creeks and rivers like they were his own.

But what about Ivar the Boneless? There is no historical proof he ever was fileted.

Pride goes before a fall, perhaps if he’d been called Tarquin the low self esteem the Roman Empire would still be a going concern.

Fritz the cat really was a cat.

Not a German soldier in the World Wars, however.

WTF is actually a nice guy, since he retired from professional baseball.
