update on the shakespeare invention of assassin..... yeah he was the first to use it in the anglicised form but the word stems from the days of saladin....one of the turkish lords decided that to produce good killers ya had to brainwash them with the end goal of being totally loyal to their master.... he proved this to one unbelieving king by ordering ten or so of them to hurl them selves off a high cliff one by one.....and they did!.... the brainwashing process was helped along with large quantities of hashish. this is where the connection between the words assassin and hashish is drawn. the arabic word for assassin stems from the arabic word haschishin = hashish user

So if humans and dolphins are the only animals that have sex for pleasure, does that mean that a pig has an orgasm for 30 minutes and doesnt enjoy it?
The pig must have had sex with my 'starfish' of an ex-husband whom I yelled at for 5 years 3 months and 12 days and still didn't use up enough energy to make a full cup of coffee!!
