It’s interesting to me that only Britain, Rusland and some former Soviet union countries move to the right

The magnet in an MRI is one of the coolest things in medicine

Literally and figuratively!

Is your friend the current minister of the justice department? Because that sounds a lot like her.

Never heard of it in the first place.

The first time I read that it was le-a , which could be read as lea without the dash

Some larger roundabouts work that way. Most (in)famously the arc de triomphe in Paris.

Where I live there are two of these

Not a shabby neighborhood

So if he had preferred male assholes that would be different?

Gork

Great typo

Now you know how servants in mansion houses felt like

Yup, there’s lots of varieties too.

Sambal Oelek

Yeah that was his brand

Preference?

Salvador Dali was a practitioner:

“The most important thing in the world is the arsehole.” For Dali, the body no longer had any secrets. He had devised a special procedure to ensure that a woman on all fours would present her anus to greatest advantage: he would place a spirit level on her back, and when the air bubble was precisely in the middle, he claimed, her anus would flower in its full glory. On occasions, he would ask female visitors to sit on a bed of moist clay with their buttocks parted, in order to take an impression of their orifices. He would subsequently frame the impressions, adding the names of the ladies in question. Supposedly -and this again demonstrates Dali’s tirelessly investigative cast of mind - the anus has thirty-five or thirty-seven little creases which are as unique as fingerprints. He regretted that he could not account for the variation in number, but noted that it had nothing to do with social class, and that thirty-fives were as likely to be found among the aristocracy as among the working classes. Only the backsides of identical twins had exactly the same pattern and number of creases. He conducted experiments to substantiate his claim, and made the impressions of twins’ behinds into candelabra.

I’ve found the zombie!

The library had a book with photographs of all the horrific acts of the concentration camps during ww2. I was young, so I had a curiosity for the macabre and not the empathy I have now. But just recalling those images is horrible. I don’t recall the name of the book but is was 4cm thick full with the most horrible pictures imaginable.

Rotten.com was mild in comparison.

Prevost was prior general of the Augustine order and later the prefect of the dicastery of bishops. He has a lot of experience steering and organisation like that and great connections amongst the episcopal branch.

I think he’ll do just fine, certainly having Francis pave the way for him.
