This is long, but no more random than this thread. Enjoy.

And if anyone on Brass Goggles is also on TalkBass, let me know!

"Well, I don't really think that the end can be assessed as of itself as being the end because what does the end feel like? It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you."

Although I know no one is interested, Drop Bears are very large, white cousins of Australia's own native bear, the koala. They hide up gum trees and drop on unsuspecting tourists' tents. The bears (usually only one at a time) hang round with groups of barely post-adolescent males hoping to 'chat up' (polite euphemism!) female tourists - hence the bear dropping on the tents - scares the female tourists into the camp (arms) of said males, who then sit round with girls & drink Bundy (Bundaberg Rum).

That's why its very important to wear a very stiff Wizzards hat (or a spring loaded top hat), when out and about.

Oh...my old war wound? I got that at The Battle of Dorking. Very nasty affair that was, I can tell you.

Left out 1565 - Ottomans defeated at Malta by Hospitallers. The Hospitallers had lost the siege of Acre, won the first siege of Rhodes, but lost the second one. I am studying the Crusades later in the year.

Wait...the History channel still shows history? When do they find time, what with all the shows about UFOs, Hitler, and Nostradamus...
