Didn't he ban Christmas altogether though? In that case, you could claim a technicality by saying "well, it's not Christmas Day anymore so cram it" or something.

I'm sure the people rioted over this.

They did riot indeedly - 1646 and 1647.
Not 100% sure about what was banned though in all honesty - after a quick rummage, the festival of Christmas was banned but I can't see a reference to the observance of it.
Come to think of it, this is a period of history that was really glossed over at school, other than brief 'Cavalier/Roundhead' mentions without really saying who they were...

My next door neighbour reckons she saw the ghost of a Cavalier walk out of a cupboard in the house she used to live in.
Yes, the Civil War was practically omitted from history lessons when I was at school, too.

- The female predisposition for empathy and social grace, for example, has been linked to a part of the brain called the isthmus.
ain't that some shit?
|

Post by diecheerleader on Jan 19, 2009 7:28:11 GMT -5
- The isthmus is a narrow stretch of the corpus callosum, a band of tissue that connects the left and right sides of the brain, and in women it is pronouncedly thicker.
so would i be complimenting a lady if i said "Hey baby, you got a nice, thick isthmus!"

hahaha ! what about if the woman is lefthanded ? Are the connections the same in her brain ? no reverse symptoms ?

"Hey baby, you got a nice, thick isthmus!" And she'd reply with: "Yours is puny.."
