skinsfan07 Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Here's a very very very interesting fact. About where the word F*** came from...... "In ancient England a person ! could not have sex unless you had consent of the King (unless you were in the Royal Family). When anyone wanted to have a baby, they got consent of the King, the King gave them a placard that they hung on their door while they were having sex. The placard had F.*.*.*. (Fornication Under Consent of the King) on it. Now you know where that came from." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ax Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 For every ‘normal’ webpage, there are five porn pages. The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation. Turkeys can reproduce without having sex. It’s called parthenogenesis. Each day, there are over 120 million sexual intercourse taking place all over the world. Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England - but only in tropical fish stores. (But of course!) There are men in Guam whose job is to travel the countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay them for the privilege of having sex for the 1st time. Sex burns 360 calories per hour! Male and female rats may have sex twenty times a day. 22% of American women aged 20 gave birth while in their teens. In Switzerland and Japan, only 2% did so. In india it is cheaper to have sex with a prostitue than buy a condom! “Formicophilia” is the fetish for having small insects crawl on your genitals. Gross!! “Ithyphallophobia” is a morbid fear of seeing, thinking about or having an erect penis. When swans go on a date, they’ll put their heads together. Then they stick together for life. Sex is the safest tranquilizer in the world. It is 10 times more effective than valium! Male bats have the highest rate of homosexuality of any mammal. The average shelf-life of a latex condom is about two years. The word “gymnasium” comes from the Greek word gymnazein which means “to exercise naked.” Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare hands. 85% of men who die of heartattacks during intercourse, are found to have been cheating on their wives. An adulterous Greek male was sometimes punished by the removal of his pubic hair and the insertion of a large radish into his rectum. Males, on average, think about sex every 7 seconds. The greatest recorded number of children one mother had was 69 children. Do the math! The world’s youngest parents were 8 and 9 and lived in China in 1910. The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time television were: Fred and Wilma Flintstone. 25% of women think money makes a man sexier. Some lions mate over 50 times a day. Snakes have two sex organs. Women who read romance novels have sex twice as often as those who don’t. The average person spends 2 weeks of its life kissing. The Ramses brand condom is named after the great phaoroh Ramses II who fathered over 160 children. A man’s beard grows fastest when he anticipates sex. A pig’s orgasm lasts for 30 minutes. Donald Duck comics were once banned from Finland because Donald doesn’t wear pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I like it when people who don't understand how languages evolve talk about how languages evolve. Acronyms are by and large a 20th century phenomenom. The f-word did not derive from any sort of kingly decree which was then abbreviated. It came into being like any other English word. Through vigorous borrowing and adaptation. Fokken - Middle Dutch - to breed/to copulate Focka - Swedish - to thrust The word is proably Germanic in nature, though it also may have been influenced by the Indo-European word "peuk" which means, "to prick." The word first appeared in the language around 1500, as a fake Latin verb "fuccant" in a dirty poem. The poem about friars has a line that says - essentially - "They are not in heaven because they f--- wives of Ely." On a related topic, "The Professor and the Madman" is a fantastic book. The Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary http://www.amazon.com/Professor-Madman-Insanity-English-Dictionary/dp/0060839783/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-9240550-1695231?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1192201411&sr=8-1 When the editors of the Oxford English Dictionary put out a call during the late 19th century pleading for "men of letters" to provide help with their mammoth undertaking, hundreds of responses came forth. Some helpers, like Dr. W.C. Minor, provided literally thousands of entries to the editors. But Minor, an American expatriate in England and a Civil War veteran, was actually a certified lunatic who turned in his dictionary entries from the Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum. Simon Winchester has produced a mesmerizing coda to the deeply troubled Minor's life, a life that in one sense began with the senseless murder of an innocent British brewery worker that the deluded Minor believed was an assassin sent by one of his numerous "enemies." Winchester also paints a rich portrait of the OED's leading light, Professor James Murray, who spent more than 40 years of his life on a project he would not see completed in his lifetime. Winchester traces the origins of the drive to create a "Big Dictionary" down through Murray and far back into the past; the result is a fascinating compact history of the English language (albeit admittedly more interesting to linguistics enthusiasts than historians or true crime buffs). That Murray and Minor, whose lives took such wildly disparate turns yet were united in their fierce love of language, were able to view one another as peers and foster a warm friendship is just one of the delicately turned subplots of this compelling book.

Dan T. Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 There are men in Guam whose job is to travel the countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay them for the privilege of having sex for the 1st time. Related fact. The number on the waiting list for that job is 86,720, which is also the number of men currently living in Guam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMK9973 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Some thoughts.... For every ‘normal’ webpage, there are five porn pages.I thought the Porn pages WERE the normal ones? The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation. Which Head? Turkeys can reproduce without having sex. It’s called parthenogenesis. I can have sex without reproducing... Each day, there are over 120 million sexual intercourse taking place all over the world. Sure -But if you don't coun't my ex GF, it's half that Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England - but only in tropical fish stores. (But of course!) Yes - But can they be bottomless? There are men in Guam whose job is to travel the countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay them for the privilege of having sex for the 1st time. Have you seen the women of Guam? Sex burns 360 calories per hour! But you have to have sex for a hour... Male and female rats may have sex twenty times a day. I do that to... it's when I try to include others I have to slow down 22% of American women aged 20 gave birth while in their teens. In Switzerland and Japan, only 2% did so. That's because a 12 year old is not a teen In india it is cheaper to have sex with a prostitue than buy a condom! Who is having sex with a indian prostitue without a condom! When swans go on a date, they’ll put their heads together. Then they stick together for life. Must have been a GREAT Date... Male bats have the highest rate of homosexuality of any mammal. I wonder if they are all republicans The average shelf-life of a latex condom is about two years. How long is the wallet life? The word “gymnasium” comes from the Greek word gymnazein which means “to exercise naked.” Do you really want to see Greek people exercising naked? Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. Having sex with a dolphin does NOT sond pleasurable. Males, on average, think about sex every 7 seconds. We think about it ever 7 seconds, and our thoughts about it are 8 seconds. Do the math. The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time television were: Fred and Wilma Flintstone. What few people know is that Barney and Betty were in the room at the same time. Show was WAY ahead of it's time. 25% of women think money makes a man sexier. Only fair -I think money makes me sexier Snakes have two sex organs. Me to... Doesn't my hand count? Women who read romance novels have sex twice as often as those who don’t. Romance novels for EVERYONE! The Ramses brand condom is named after the great phaoroh Ramses II who fathered over 160 children. Clearly he needed a better brand codom... A pig’s orgasm lasts for 30 minutes. So do my GF's... yours don't? Must be something you are doing. Donald Duck comics were once banned from Finland because Donald doesn’t wear pants. I don't wear pants in Finland eaither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
