Leaving my art history final examine, someone complained that the above picture was not in the study material. How can you not know Alexander the III of Macedonia defeating the armies of Darius III of Persia I said as walking out. No credit for him :{D
Though I have no idea where that picture came from because it was never covered in class or study notes. Fuck the stupid complaining hippy :funny:
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

If Charles, William or George converted to any other religion or denomination other than the Church of England/Scotland or if they announced that they were atheists, they would be barred from succession the British throne.

The oldest town in England is Colchester.

York was settled by Vikings, and remained the capital of Danish England until 954.

The first building in the world to be built taller than the Great Pyramid of Giza was Lincoln Cathedral in England, which was built in 1280.

I dropped my toast last night. I don't need to tell you which fucking side it landed on. I still ate it.

Quite irrelevant I think, to you anyway.
