Pertinax Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share 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?"

Primus Pilus Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Of course, I'm from a boot-shaped peninsula known mostly for pasta, pizza and mafia. lol. And I once heard that there was this rather small and insignificant city on that peninsula that would never have been important enough to inspire a web site discussion group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share 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.

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?).
