The right to bear arms is only slightly less ludicrous than the right to arm bears

people dying of disgusting diseases

I always thought the syphillis deaths were the most interesting. By interesting, of course, I mean painful and infectious.

If you ever get around to WW2, try reading Colditz by Henry Chancellor. I got my copy in the UK, so it should be handy. It's better than Reid's account of the Colditz escapees. It's a hell of a lot more fun to read, too, and doesn't gloss over some of the less-fun details.

And the escapades of the Brits and the French [and the Poles and Americans] are rather amusing. Like the fellow who stuffed his bra with biscuits... ;]

Well, as far as disgusting diseases go, I think more British Monarchs died of Dysentery in the middle ages than of any other cause :P

lo, yes. But sometimes the sheer number of nasty infections and diseases one could die from back then astounds me. And makes my eyes burn. o.o

Whoa. The other day, when I said I had a Bush joke, but I'd tell it later --- that was it! You probably don't remember, but... whatever.

I am in love with that joke- I think I might spread it to some people who might not appreciate it.

As for the fellow who stuffed his bra with biscuits- oh my.
