Diogenes: Yes

Diogenes - the only honest man in ancient Greece and a founder of the cynics - lived in a wine barrel.
He'd turn his pitcher to face the sun.
Alexander - of Alexander The Great and king of the known world fame - went to meet him.
He asked the D if he had any desires.
Diogenes told him; "Yes. For you to get out of my fucking sun."

"I have left society, because I cannot endure the evils I see and detest in it."

Education: It's All Great To Me

"What," asks the teacher, "have Sir Elton John, Alexander the Great, William Shakespeare and Clare Balding got in common?"

They all bore the tits off me?

I was wrong - The Independent takes a different view.
They were all gay or lesbian or at least bisexual or something.
They're teaching school kids about the gays now, you know?
In Stoke Newington at least.
Whatever next?
Brighton?
