Eight hundred years ago today...
King John put his seal to Magna Carta.
Only two things are infinite - the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe: Albert Einstein.

I've read a bit about the Magna Carta, but for some reason the info never sticks in my head, which is SO frustrating.

Give a man a fire, and you keep him warm for a day. SET a man on fire, and you will keep him warm for the rest of his life...

Yeah buts whats King John done for us recently.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

It has been WAY too long since I've watched the Simpsons. Although that might be a Treehouse of Horror episode...Sonic Glitch wrote:Unlike some others...Mikey wrote:Well, he hasn't returned from the grave as a bloodthirsty unholy revenant, so that's something.Teaos wrote:Yeah buts whats King John done for us recently.
