I was a little bemused why the 'naughty figureheads' linked to an image of a carved lion's head figurehead smiley - erm. It doesn't seem very naughty to me.
I guess I was expecting a partially undressed lady or something smiley - winkeye

Thanks for the comments, folks.smiley - smiley

About naughty figureheads - all right, so I have a warped sense of humour. So sue me.smiley - winkeye

And 'deviance' just means 'not the norm'. 'Normal', to me, isn't the same as good, right, proper, or even sane. After all, somebody told me yesterday that people coming up with new internet scams was just normal. Sigh. Maybe - don't make it fun.

So hurrah for creative deviance, say I.smiley - winkeye May you never be normal.
