I'm not a sidekick. I think I'm a villian. Not that I want to be, just seems to be the way of things. Maybe I'm an anti-hero. Not sure yet.

LOL.
But don't Amazon women cut off their breasts? She seems pretty breast-ed to me. Are you sure she's a REAL Amazon and not just pretending?

That's what Herodotus said. But Herodotus is a lot like the internet; just because he said it it aint necesarilly true.

Have you kicked anybody into your engine lately? If so you might be an anti-hero.

As for where I stand (Hero-Villan) it's Villian all the way. Hero is sooo the dumb choice.
Though I'd be a smart villian, most villians are even dumber than the heros.
None of this nonsense:
"No Mr Bond, I shall explain my plans in detail and leave you alone in an elaborate easilly escaped execution and assume you have been killed"
More of this:
"Shut up Bond." *bang* *bang* *bang* *bang*. *bang*. "Dismember the corpse and send the head to number 10, with a note in the mouth. Reads: Love and kisses from your soon to be overlord."

whee - thought i was never going to be able to post!
ah well, to celebrate the mere ability to waffle on endlessly, more amusing stuff from When Mum Should Really Be Working.
These quotes are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters who had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.

ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?

ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
ATTORNEY: But could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?
WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.
Isn't sanity really a one trick pony, anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy...ooh hoo hoo hoo... the skys the limit!

y helo thar folks
i won't be as talkative as usual (i know some of you are sitting out there saying "talkative?") as I'm on vacation for the week and down in Maryland.
random bit of fun knowledge: i had a sleep study the other night, and when i woke up in the morning the nurses/techs on told me that i was very strange. of course, i already knew this, but i guess i'm even more strange than i thought. My eyes don't move AT ALL while I'm sleeping, not even during dreaming. weird.

I just got this sent to me by email:
Billy was at school this morning and the teacher asked all the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came out, fireman, policeman, salesman, chippy, captain of industry etc, but Billy was being uncharacteristically quiet and so the teacher asked him about his father.
"My father is an exotic dancer in a gay club and takes off all his clothes in front of other men. Sometimes if the offer is really good, he'll go out with a man, rent a cheap hotel room and let them sleep with him."
The teacher quickly set the other children some work and took little Billy aside to ask him if that was really true.
"No" said Billy, "He plays cricket for England but I was just too embarrassed to say."

Quote:Heard these ones before. I like to think that the doctor involved is either House, Ducky, or Doc Hologram. The sarcasm is just so perfect.

Oh, and the thing about Amazons lopping off a breast was the ancient Greek equivalent of urban myth. The story was that it was the only way they could draw a bowstring. Modern archers (many of them female) have testified that removing a breast will in no way make it easier to fire a bow.
Especially not when you consider the kind of scars Grecian-era mammectomy would leave.
