Isn't that the proper name for Eskimos?

Erm, should that be innuit ?

No, that would be Inuit, and the proper name in Canada. It means "People" in Inuktitut. In Northern Alaska, the people are Inupiat. The Yup'ik are in Western Alaska and Russia. In Greenland, they are Kalaaleq, though Inuit is also used. The term Groelandés, I am told, is out of favour. The name Inuit is commonly recognized throughout all regions, and is the name used by the Inuit Circumpolar Council.

Oh; is THAT what happened to it ?

I thought it was because they never replaced it after it broke from all the weight of the knights constantly joining the girls for table dances without taking off their armor first?

Ah - you've heard THAT story, have you.
Well, I have it on good authority that it was the damage due to the spurs on the knight's foot.
The Table had to be sent away for some serious wood-work.

Serious Wood. Hmmm.

Now there is one hell of a porn star name if I ever heard one.

Probably Sirius Wood or Cyrrius Wood... Come to think of it, a good character name for the right fantasy piece...

You wouldn't have that cold if you'd stop running around naked in the rain.

Look below the towel as she stands in the tub. They sneaked a peek past the censors back then. I guess everyone was watching her lovely smile and sparkling eyes.

That was either a major OPPS! or a very well planned shot angle.

And intentional. By the way, (or maybe directly to the point) some psychological research around that time indicated that people's (yes, men too) focus on even a photo of an attractive naked woman was primarily on the face, neck and shoulders.

Smile for the camera, sweetheart!

Prof Einstein,

Stand between two mirrors, HP, and you get an infinite regression of the same image. If you're careful with your camera placement, you can get the photo without the camera in it. In the one I attached, the angle at which the mirror is held is repeated and thus increased each step, creating an Archimedes spiral of the image. Now, if we can just get Maj to pose...
