Actually he did, calling himself Rig, and in the Eddas he is the paternal ancestor of most of the classes of men - thralls (slaves), thegns (minor nobles), and jarls (high nobles). If Heimdall was black, then so would most of the Norse peoples be, mixing their own crazy mythology with Science...

Aw, there are so many worse singers than Robert Plant - if you don't like his vocal stylings, sure, but at least the screaming is in tune (I really like it but can see how it would grate with some.) I agree - Mona Lisa shit Romeo and Juliet shit - Shakespeare in general is mis-taught...

The 'weird license thing' is essentially a yearly tax paid by anyone in the UK who owns a TV and will own up to watching live TV on it. The money goes to the state, which funds the BBC. The Beeb is a 'public service broadcaster' which means that its remit in the UK is to inform, as well as...

Hey, white people give their children fucked up names too. Tristan, Peaches and Apple anyone?

Saw a child and his father going down the street once. Child stops on the street. 'Dad! Dad!' 'What? Come on, Tommy.' 'Dad dad dad!' 'What?' 'Dad!' 'WHAT' 'Leaf!' That child was more excited by a leaf than anything I could ever remember being excited by, ever. And he wanted to share...

On the contrary, I like a little mild buttsexx in the morning, but the camping I can do without - especially from straight men, when it's just confusing. My point is that I can understand people's prejudice not against gays, but against 'typical' or 'common' 'gay behaviours.' Note extreme...

The only sensible reaction to anyone's sexuality seems to be 'fine, so you like *blah gender,* why do I care?' unless you are actively trying to pull them. My impression is that most homophobia today is not actually directed against homosexualality per-se, but is motivated by fear and disgust...

My boyfriend didn't used to be racist, but since he moved to a certain area of London which has a large Muslim Arab/Lebanese population he is often heard to moan about 'those fucking Arabs.' Reasons being: -The burqa is ridiculous. -The Arab shopkeepers nearby themselves are racist against...

I meant that if you leave it up to when she actually has her first period, she's going to come screaming to you thinking she needs to go to hospital. Like to see you calmly explain about hormones then! :P Also, your clinical explanation of what happens is pretty inaccurate - it's not...

For all those saying 'shit, let them find it out for themselves/their friends/internet tell them, /when they ask, explain...' NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO This is how you get people like my friend who thought that girls pissed through their vagina...

At my school it was all-girls, and all the uniform rules were based around trying to stop people looking like sluts. No dangly earrings, shirts tucked in, regulation jumpers, long skirts etc. People would subvert this by wearing too much lipgloss, and rolling the waistbands of their skirts...

I like tall guys; so do most girls. Tall, 'meaty' guys tend to be generally well-proportioned and therefore objectively attractive; tall, lean guys tend to have collarbones that smack you in the face when you go for a hug and cut your face off. Slightly more normal-sized slim guys fall back...

As soon as I saw Hurt Locker I thought, 'oh, so it's a shit Jarhead.' Someone on this thread apparently didn't like Jarhead, but having read the book it was based on and knowing that its 'gritty, dramatic true-to-life modern war story' is actually true to life, rather than scripted by...

'One' just means 'the singular thing.' It makes perfect sense to have 'ones,' i.e. two singular things which designate any object or objects. For those who moan about 'ough' being pronounced differently in English, let's just count them: uff, ugh, or, oo, off - L*ough*borough...
