The three reached our table,stopped, came to attention and saluted. The short one with the handlebar mustache was the first to speak. “My dear Sahib,Gideon,” the words poured forth from his lips,“I bring you greetings! We heard that you’d be here so,I hastened to pay my respects. And lovely Marla, you’re as radiant as ever.” Gideon broke into riotous laughter, stood up and embraced him.

How to Capture a Castle
This is the intriguing title of an article in History magazine, which made me think of getting what you want - after all, the people after the castle wanted the castle!

Now we don't use huge armies to get what we want from others; we use other strategies. All the methods listed fall into three groups: - Assertive - be diplomatic, ask nicely - Sneaky - element of surprise, mind games, going underground - Aggressive - assault and battery, fire, over the top, gunpowder and starve them out The assertive group involved people being willing to talk...
The Fruit Police
There have been many attempts to make the taste of durian more palatable or to dilute it. Companies have, among other attempts, made it into chewy candy, flavored ice cream with it, made it into puddings, and put it into durian cream cookie wafers to present it to an audience wider than its diehard fans But the fact remains that you either like durian or you don't, no matter where you come from. And if you like it, you probably love it, and if not you probably hate it, even in cookie form. I myself have tried in vain to think of ways to use it as a secret ingredient. It's just too unwieldy. (For the record, I have tried to like durian- I want to like it because I know it must be really special once...
Morning Star - Mace or Flail?
Historically speaking there seems to be some confusion as to whether a morning star is a mace, defined as "a strong, heavy wooden, metal-reinforced, or metal shaft, with a head made of stone, copper, bronze, iron or steel" or a flail, defined as "a medieval weapon made of one (or more) weights attached to a handle with a hinge or chain." Now, usually we consider a morning star to be combination of a mace and a flail. The weapon is constructed of at least one ball which is attached to a haft by a metal chain. However, there may be more than one ball and chain utilized. Thus causing the problem in the nomenclature. Some examples of a morning star show them being pole arms - over 6 feet long. Others...

Evolution of Man - The Best Thing Until Sliced...
How, why and when humans started evolving on earth is a topic of great debate and discussion around the world, and has been for centuries, as evidence of early man can often be limited and even contradictory in what it suggests.
