The colloseum held 50,000 people and never hosted a riot.

1066

The most important year in British history. After the death of Edward the confessor, three aristocracy of europe claimed the throne. Harold II had already taken the throne. His first opposition came from Viking warlord Harald Hadraada. The viking army was defeated without much hassle. William, duke of Normandy then came from France to the south coast. Harold II ploughed his army onto William's without rest. They made good time, but were exhausted. William used simple but effective maneuveres to kill off many thousands of English. Harold died during the battle, and William became William the conquerer. All monarchs since have been of his lineage. Also, there have been over 50 attempts to invade britain since that point, all of which have failed.

1066 sparked the Bayeax tapestry and the doomsday book

Land Down Under

Where women glow and men plunder


men at work

"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."


---bad song, annoying

manifesto

(n.) An announcement of intended future actions. Sounds like a homosexual orgy.

Elitist went along to the manifesto hearing, but was disappointed to discover that there was no gay orgy audio clips.
