1. Tribadism
2. Dwarfs in Victorian England. (I wondered who made corsets for them.)
3. Jane Austen
In case you are wondering what 'tribadism' is, it comes from Greek 'tribas' meaning "to rub". And thus another word for 'lesbian' is 'tribade'
snippets from OED: The first [technique of lesbian intercourse], known as ‘tribadism’, consists in one woman lying on top of the other and simulating the movements of heterosexual intercourse in such a way as to stimulate the clitoris of each. 1970 Greer: Female Eunuch 293 - The prevalence of tribadism as the principal lesbian mode of lovemaking argues the relative unimportance of the masculine fantasy.

Like him or loathe him, you gotta admire Al for being true to his word. To think, he DID win the election. Same cannot be said for one of the most corrupt heads of state in the world, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, who said she would not run but did anyway and had to cheat her way into office.
Who shall we point the finger to? The astroturf? The referee? The coach? England lose to the Ruskis 2-1. The English are turning out to be just as good as the Filipinos in the 'blame game'.
Coppola slags his former actors.
