Elizabeth Taylor. Even though (I think) she's not technically dead, the creature she was in National Velvet is certainly buried.

Or the Virgin Mary, so I can say "God took my sloppy seconds."

I am torn between Grace Kelly and Mae West myself.

Freud -- just so that I could mess with his sex theories.

"Despite the mother's concerns, a picture that was purported to be of the woman began circulating as early as Friday on at least three websites.

But Janelle Medina, 19, who attended Eagle Valley High School and was in the choir with the alleged victim, said the photo is of another girl with the same first name."

Shoot! I would have liked to have seen the girl in the fotos nekkid.

Lawsuit pending...Lance sued

ARMSTRONG SUED FOR DEFAMATION
Italian rider Filippo Simeoni has demanded 100,000 euros ($113,500) in damages from Armstrong after accusing the American of making defamatory remarks.
The Italian decided to take legal action after this year’s Tour race leader Armstrong called him a “liar” in an interview in Le Monde in April.
Armstrong attacked Simeoni after he gave evidence in the trial of Armstrong’s personal coach Dr Michele Ferrari, who is accused of sporting fraud and illegally acting as a pharmacist.
“We’ve requested the figure of 100,000 euros as a symbolic amount,” Simeoni’s Italian lawyer Giovanni Fontana told Reuters. “We’re not doing this legal action for money but to stop Lance Armstrong telling lies about Filippo Simeoni.” “He will also have to appoint a lawyer to defend himself in Italy.

I'll go. Anyone else wanna come?

All the news sources are now reporting it's the wrong girl.

Also interesting is this report from one of the girl's friends stating that there was "visible evidence" a week later.

A very wise choice in the ancient world, as she is most definitely one of the few people living before 1000 A.D. who aren't among your ancestors. Mother of God or not, it would be pretty squicky to fuck your 82nd great grandmother.

I must say, those are pretty cool.

Still totally inappropriate, everyone will be relieved to hear, but cool-looking, nevertheless. I am neither more nor less scandalized by beach-wear on the street than I am by athletic-wear. (Once you put a kitten heel on it, it's no longer a flip-flop, it is a sandal and therefore a real street-shoe, and you must take full responsibility for intentionally wearing plastic shoes.)

NYT had an article about "flip-flops on the street" about 3 weeks ago. By the time the NYT fashion pages get ahold of something, it is usually dead.

John F. Kennedy Jr. , if not him then his dad. If he was good enough for Marilyn, he's good enough for me.

Is it not possible that we are descended from Jesus's brother?

As a sideline to a rather long and boring story I won't subject y'all to, I discovered I have an ancestor who claimed just such descent.

This "researcher" is leaving out some very important facts.

On purpose?

Virgin Mary. Virgin Mary. Let's not start this all over again.

Of course, the article also suggests a significant portion of the population would have no modern ancestors, so all you have to find in the ancient (or even Medeval) world is someone in a line now extinct.

Of course, that means foregoing a liaison with Catherine the Great for one with Mary, Queen of Scotts.
