consoled in the meantime by barren concubines and permitted only a strictly limited range of recreations, the chief of which was macramé

What an odd way to live out your life. These days, add internet to the recreations and you'll get a lot of takers.

I wonder if the Queen in Alice in Wonderland a poke at that Empire? Lot of 'off with their heads' going on.

Frankenstein! Frankenstein the legend, Frankenstein the indestructible! Sole survivor of the titanic pile-up of '95, only two-time winner of the Transcontinental Road Race... Frankenstein! Ripped up, wiped out, battered, shattered, creamed, and reamed... a dancer on the brink of death... Frankenstein, who lost a leg in '98, an arm in '99! With half a face and half a chest, and all the guts in the world, he's back!

"Seen from this perspective, it might be argued that the Ottomans' decline set in early in the 17th century, precisely at the point when they abandoned the policy of ritually murdering a significant proportion of the royal family whenever a sultan died, and substituted the Western notion of simply giving the job to the first-born son instead. "

Huh, and I had always accepted the theory that it was their arrogance and belief in their own exceptionalism and a blind animosity towards other nations that set the stage for their downfall. Maybe America needs more testicle crushing before it's too late.

...Ibrahim the Mad (1640-48), once had all 280 of the women in his harem executed this way (sewed the women into weighted sacks and dropped them into the Bosphorus) simply so he could have the pleasure of selecting their successors...

You have no idea how much I've wanted to do this to my harem.

Holy. Balls.

I'm so glad I live where I do, when I do.

I really gotta buy that movie. Whenever it's on TV, I have to watch. Have to. I have no choice. Love it.
