Some ugly girls are very sexy.

Mankind is among a small group of animals that can indulge in masturbation. You don't get horses doing it, do you? Or bats, which according to post 50 constitute a quarter of all mammals.

Some of the ugliest people I know are the bestist people I know, after all, theres a lot more of us ugly people than there are pretty ones about. My friends chinchilla mastibates.... quite disturbing really... But their budgy doesn't.

What about spiders? I bet they don't.

manipulate sheer walls, but cannot escape enamel baths!

They've eight legs!

I can do it with two dodgy ones!!!

MMF

Sure, theres a lot of ugly spiders, but some real pretty ones too. Oh, you mean mastibation don't you.... Hmmm.... I can't remember much about arachnid reproductive biology... But I really don't think they'd be able to mastibate even if they wanted to... And even if they did want to, I doubt they've a sufficiently developed central nervous system to make it worthwhile for them to do so, in terms of being able to sense pleasure from the act of doing so... Although, evolutionally speaking they much have some kind of sexual drive to perpetuate the species, otherwise they'd just hang about and spin out time as best they could without popping their cherrys.

Spiders make seven kinds of silks. One to wrap its eggs in, one to trap its prey and the other five to spin its web.

Steve "Silk" Hurley's "Jack Your Body" was the UK's first house music number 1, in Jan 1987.

Due to an error in the way the singles were categorised, Steve "Silk" Hurley's "Jack Your Body" wasn't the UK's first house music number 1, in Jan 1987.

Here's the link:

In 1987, Steve "Silk" Hurley's "Jack Your Body" topped the charts for 2 weeks, but in fact it should have never been there. The 12" actually exceeded the maximum playing time to qualify as a single and therefore Jackie Wilson's re-issue of "Reet Petite" should have enjoyed a fifth week at the top and "I Knew You Were Waiting (for Me)" was deprived of a week at the top, which would have increased its total to three.

"I Knew You Were Waiting (for Me)" was sung by Aretha Franklin and George Michael. George's real name is Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou.

Aretha Franklin's nickname include Queen of Soul, Lady Soul and Sister Ree

Queen Elizabeth II isn't the Queen of Soul. But she is Queen of Australia. And Canada and Jamaica etc...

Although rated one of the finest singers by many, Aretha Franklin has never had a solo UK top three single.

One plus about having a monarch is it means we don't need to have some obnoxious politician as head of state. The idea of "President Blair".

By having the monarch born into the job rather than being elected head of state, it means they are devoid of any ambition. That's the main thing I like about it. The likes of Blair and Cameron can be PM, but they can't be head of state. It's a power-check.

If Anne is considered the first true British monarch then we have had 12 in total.

The current UK head of state, Queen E Liz, had a top forty hit in 1962 with her band, 'Lizzy's dubmasters', only four copies of the single entitled 'you ain't gona get a shot at my throne baby', 12" single remain, and one reportidly changed hands on EBay in 2006 for over 800 pounds.

12 is 1100 in Binary, which was the same year as the death of William II (William Rufus), king of England

Rufus Wainwright is touring Japan in 2008.

Rufus is not planning to do any long distance hill-walking.

A wainwright builds wagons.

Wagons rhymes with flagons.
