Ah, love.

She tried to bring god to the fuzzy-wuzzies or some such.

She tried too get the Roman Emperor to stop persecuting Christians back in the 4th century.

He tortured her to death on a wheeled spiked torture device now known as the Catherine Wheel. Then some bright spark (geddit) decided it would be a good idea to stick some rockets on it to celebrate special occasions.

Beats tortuting Christians to death on them I suppose.

That's what Crucifixs are for. Nail 'em up I say! Nail some sense in to 'em! Fantastic race the Romans...

Don't know about the US but they were banned in the UK a few years ago. They kept coming off their sticks and whizzing off into the crowd! Probably best to keep them over there on their raft! Who has to swim over to light them? How do they keep the matches dry?

Anyone in here actually ever had scurvy? I only ask because I had the beginning stages of it a long while back (during college). The conversation with the Dr went a bit like this:

Him: Well, you have a serious vitamin C deficiency that we need to address.
Me: Ok. Wait, did you say vitamin C?
Him: Yes.
Me: You mean like scurvy?
Him: (pause) Well, more like the beginning stages of scurvy.
Me: (excited) So, I have scurvy?
Him: Technically, yes (yes, my Dr spoke like that)
Me: Cool!

The reason I was excited was that I am a history buff. One area of interest for me is the 16th century navies. Actually having a disease like that was sort of like first-hand research!

(It is easily cured, by the way, but does sometimes re-appear when I don't drink enough OJ)

Sorry for that...just thought I'd bring in a laugh.

That's a funny story, Tristan!

Funnier because you see the humour in it. I can't believe you were excited you had scurvy!

(And yes, I know that it was caused by a deficiency of vitamin C, so at some point in the 1800's-you probably know when-the British Navy made it mandatory that all ships carry a stock of oranges.)

Yes, it was exciting. I actually told one of my history professors, and he had all sorts of questions about symptoms, etc.

Not to argue, but I believe it was limes rather than oranges...which led to the moniker "Limeys" when referring to the British...could be wrong, but that is what I have learned.

Glad I could give you a laugh with that!

You're right. It was limes! I do remember the Limey thing. That was in this crazy pirate book I found recently. It was for kids, but it was about what it was REALLY like to be a pirate and it was, well, very graphic. It talked about amputations and diseases and where they went to the bathroom and eating shoe leather and how hard life at sea was. Lots of pictures, too.

But I distinctly remember reading about oranges somewhere. Probably Patrick O'Brian.

Anyway, we're probably the only 2 who care remotely about THIS subject, sooo....
