Simple game, as of this post my post count will be 1534. In 1534 Henry VIII of England marries Anne Boleyn. He had his previous wedding to Catherine of Argon annulled by the Archbishop of Canterbury and Anne Boleyn declared Queen. The Pope, who had previously rejected Henry's request for an annulment, got annoyed. He ex-communicated Henry and the Archbishop from the Catholic Church.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”
Adam Smith, who must have been some kind of leftie or something. |

"And what is wrong with their life? What on earth is less reprehensible than the life of the Levovs?"
- American Pastoral, Philip Roth
Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed at him, we leagued with him, old chum.
No soldier's paid to kick against His powers.
We laughed - knowing that better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives; not men, for flags. |

In the year 7836 Zebulon, the Horrible, master of Galaxy 389 led his battle forces to attack the rogue systems of the Horesehead Nebula, only to be eaten by the same small dog that ate a battlefleet just the day before. Biffy, as he is known, is now the center of worship for trillions, who call out for his protection against the forces of evil.
In other news some far out old guy was discovered in a cave typing on an ancient computing device of unknown origin. When discovered, he responded by throwing rocks and bits of food at his would be rescuers, and muttering somethign about "get off my lawn you damn kids." His rescuers left soon after, but not before being pelted unmercifully by something called "nachos and queso. "

"I.. I know my time has come" Tethesis said with a gasp, a torrent of blood flowing from his lips.
"No! Hang on brother!!" Altharius could feel the warmth slip away from his dear sibling's hands
Tethesis's reached out his bloodied arm to Altharius's face.
"I..I have one final request"
Altharius leaned close to listen, tears welling in his once bright eyes.
"make sure th..they put my soulstone in a tank... it'll be... real fethin' cool"
"Yes, you're gonna be the most fethin' cool tank!!" burning hot tears streaked down Altharius's face, as he held his brother's soul in his grasp.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made. |
