Pertinax 3 Report post Posted November 28, 2005 (edited) the man had no idea if Christ had lived before or after Napoleon. Well, as sad as it is, at least he knew who they were He ( the tramp) was less good on Loyola and "On The Imitation of Christ", getting very angry he said " why the hell should anyone want to imitate him?"

FLavius Valerius Constantinus 1 Report post Posted November 29, 2005 Uhm, isn't the mafia synonymous with Sicily? The only reason why Europeans didn't eat tomatoes at all because they thought it tasted weird, plus its from the nightshade family, sounds ominous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats funny because you will find them in every American city too. lol Whether its true or not, most Americans think of Sicily when they think of the mafia. I think its due to all of the movies about the mafia like "The Godfather" series. Edited November 30, 2005 by DanM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The British are now the biggest wine drinkers in Europe, I do my best in this earnest endeavour, but frankly fermented mares' milk would be drunk here if it were available in pubs and clubs, mixed with vodka , coloured blue and called " horse sacrifice drink" ,( do descendants of the Huns still drink it I wonder?).
