Kind of looks like you transplanted Feargus's or Rich Evans face onto a portrait of Henry the VIIIth or some other monarch or nobleman. The light shine on his nose (which wouldn't be in a 15th century painting) gives it away.

I didn't do the above, but that's pretty much the point. :p

“It seems that these three Texas ranchers were taking a jet back to Texas from somewhere. Well, being Texans, they were bragging about their spreads.

‘I own the Circle W, fifteen thousand acres up near Brownsville.’
“‘That’s a right spread,’ says the second rancher. ‘Myself, I own the Bar X, thirty thousand acres up in the Panhandle.’”
“‘That’s a fine spread, pardner. Fine indeed.’ Then he turned to the third man and asked, ‘What about you, pardner? How big is your spread?’ “
‘It’s only a touch over ten acres,’ the third Texan said. “The other two began to wonder if the fellow had snuck into first class, but they were friendly and didn’t want the man to feel bad, so the first rancher said, ‘Well, a small place can be right nice. What do you call your spread?’
 The third rancher smiled a slow Texas smile and said, ‘Downtown Dallas.’”

“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”
 
-Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>>
Quote

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

-Rod Serling

There is a story popular in the SCA about a female member who was walking home from an event in Central Park in the 1980s. She hadn't taken off her armor, just wrapped a cloak around herself and put her helmet in her bag. She was accosted by a disreputable sort wielding a switchblade and making threats. She said "A six-inch knife?", opened her cloak and drew her sword. "I'll see your six and raise you thirty-five."

Not sure whether to post here or in the politics thread... I guess here due to the sillyness of it, and the obliviousness of the US ambassadior to the UN.

 

Ambassador Nikki Haley got pranked by two Russian comedians (who have pranked other officials before) into talking about a fictional island. lol....

You'd think she would know each country or at least take a glance at the UN membership because all but two have a membership in the UN. Those two are the Holy See (because neutral, though they do have observer status) and Palestine.
