To my utter shock, Biden stated the other day that the US will defend Taiwan if attacked. Sadly, I'll believe it when I see it. Poor Taiwan.

If they were fraternal Twins and one was a male, I’d assume the male would be the heir, 7 comments

I suspected you meant historically :-) Thanks for running the numbers, we've all learned something. Carry on :-)

No, it certainly isn't all, nor even most :-) In Europe, Spain is the only country still following male-preference.

The chance of being killed by a cow while in a plane is low, but never zero.

The peoples we term ancient Greeks were obsessed with nudity, especially the male form, but there is a difference between artistic ideal and behavior. Nudity in life was generally taboo, but may have been used as a kind of ritual costume in special circumstances (based on artistic and linguistic evidence). That said, a blacksmith who practiced his trade with a bare upper body wouldn't be in business long ;-) Genuinely curious here, could you please post links if you have come across archaeological evidence that the Greeks spent their days in the buff?

That's one kinky blacksmith wearing only his apron. The centaur is of course naked as well. I'm curious as to the fee for services rendered.
