21. Well, his career had consequences.
His empire was vast.

There is a book by W. W. Tarn titled Alexander the Great and the unity of mankind which, if I remember correctly, argues that Alexander was a great guy. But some historians have contrary opinions.

13. Yeah, specifically, what happened to that amazing site "Shocking Pink"
Edited on Thu Apr-23-09 08:11 PM by Mike 03
It's absolutely vital to explore the fate of this web site and the lucious models in it.

This is a historical necessity, IMHO.

23. I don't know about the oldest porn site but...
this is apparently the oldest porn material ever found:

"Stone-age figurines depicting what could be the oldest pornographic scene in the world have been unearthed in Germany.

Archaeologists have discovered what they believe to be the 7,200-year-old remnants of a man having intercourse with a woman.

The extraordinary find, at an archaeological dig in Saxony, shatters the belief that sex was a taboo subject in that era."
