That's okay. That sort of stuff keeps me hooked too. It's a very good site. Have you looked around it much?

Dear Rabbitears, I have had a delightful time reading about the screaming loonies in history who managed to convince others of their tall tales and schemes...so far, the English woman who claimed to be giving birth to dead baby rabbits seems about the best ( worst?) !

Dear Fudo, Good to hear from you...
I had thought that Phil Lynott's drug use was what cost him his job(s) and friends; and,finally, his life. I saw a very brief interview with his mother years ago, her heart was broken, she never really recovered from his loss....so sad.

| Hello, Sylkat. Yes from all accounts I hear, heroin use rather did a number on poor Phil. The skid row thing was before thin lizzy but I thought it rather ironic that he went on to become a fine singer/songwriter and a funky bassist too. They are touring again with Brian Downey and Scott Gorham but it's so different it's sad.. |

Remains were recently found of about 50 'Giant Wombats'. The proper name is Diprotodon, it was the size of a Rhinoceros, and weighed about 6,000 pounds. The reason so many died in one place is, theoretically, that it was a bog or swamp, and that when they came for water,they were attacked and eaten by huge crocodiles or other saurians, teeth of which were found amongst the poor Diprotodon's bones.

Despite its reputation, it is highly unlikely the Iron Maiden was actually utilized for torture.

Forgive my apparent argumentativeness, but I had thought that use of the Iron Maiden was well-documented.

Terry Pratchett (Sir Terry ) is my favorite author.His police force (The Watch) has a werewolf, a vampire, a troll, a vampire, a Nac Mac Feegle and the true heir to the local throne.
This is all explained, amusingly, in the Discworld series of books.
His latest book, 'Snuff', pertains to Goblins, specifically, one who plays the harp quite well.

I used to as well, until the dates didn't match up. The Museum of Torture has several documents stating that the Iron Maiden was meant to instill fear, but was never actually used. It was also said to have been used prior to the 19th Century, however the earliest known Maiden was created in the 1800s. Even a (I hate saying this) Google search will show the contradictory history of the notorious device.
As for seeming argumentative, I feel that you were merely inquisitive (no pun intended here), which is not a bad thing at all. After all, it's asking the questions that gets us the answers. |
