****ing Hell that's painful

I was listening to a prog on the radio the other day about how 'My Way' by Frank Sinatra has provoked 12 murders between 2002-20012 in the Phillippines due to people butchering it on stage.

Somebody in Dorset is going to take a ****ing shotgun to one of HIAG's gigs soon if they're not careful. <laugh>

Ah now I've spotted it

You pedantic **** <whistle>

But yeah, crazy **** eh ? 12 Karaoke singers murdered on stage for making a ****ing hash of a song. Apparently it's only that song too, although I reckon if some of the same people heard HIAG butchering Led Zepplin they'd have the same reaction to that. Think it was called the 'My way killings'. Dozens of people injured too due to the same thing.

So here's a fun fact. Romulus and Remus, the mythological founders of Rome (and Rome and the Roman empire are named for) were named after the Latin word for "teet" because they were found suckling on the teeth of a wolf.

So the name of perhaps the greatest Empire of all time essentially means "The nipple empire".

The name America was coined by Martin Waldseemüller from Americus Vespucius, which is Latin. So in effect America was a name derived by the nipple empire!
