I don't understand them. 

How did they survive and thrive for 500 years?

"Dysthymia?  Did they get some student from the University of Chicago with a hard-on for ancient Bactrian cities to name this?  I feel cheated."

Leave the waging of wars to others! But you, happy Austria, marry; for the realms which Mars awards to others, Venus transfers to you.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Louis XVI had to get his dick cut so he could fuck Marie Antoinette.  Before that, every time he was around her he got a painful boner, because she was hot like Kirsten Dunst, but his foreskin wouldn't retract.  Phimosis.  True story.

Sexual reproduction.

So much testosterone in this thread. Which is ironic.

:huh:  You don't understand how an incredibly flexible and practical royal family survived that long?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

To be fair, you made yourself a target for bullying when you revealed you were gay.

Anyway, I still need to watch that movie sometime.  I'm put off by the fact that Lost in Translation was soooo boooring, although it is plausible that lots of cool sets and production design and the safe-for-everywhere imagery Tim linked to would redeem even a somewhat dull film.

That doesn't seem very fair.
