414 years ago today in 1606, rather than suffer the brutal execution of being hanged, drawn, and quartered in London.

Guy Fawkes jumps off the platform breaking his neck and successfully committing suicide.

 
Guy Fawkes was discovered in the cellar of the parliament building with barrels of gunpowder in a plot to destroy the existing English government. 

The plot was organized by a group of Roman Catholics who wanted to replace the Protestant political leadership. All of the conspirators were tortured and executed by being hanged, drawn, and quartered. A method that entails being hanged by the neck almost to the point of death, emasculated, disemboweled, beheaded, and chopped into four pieces. Which makes it clear why Fawkes killed himself to escape this fate. 

The failure of the plot was commemorated in Britain and celebrated each year on its anniversary. Guy Fawkes has also become a bit of a rebellious folk hero for trying to abolish an existing government.

In Uganda their way of life is different and their ethics of marriage is not comparable as to other culture.

In Uganda their way of life is different and their ethics of marriage is not comparable as to other culture. In Uganda if you want to marry a lady after everyone is seated they will ask your elder sister to go and have a test of the person who wants to get married to her younger sister to see how the man does in bed and to still confirm it the person manhood is working perfectly before he will be allowed to do the marital right. My culture has started another thing which am yet to define.  I witness a tradition marriage ceremony were everyone is seated all the items bought by the mother in-law was brought out including bed and they supposed husband and wife was ask to go and sleep on it together in public 🙄. I was not there and i didn't hear any story of our parents getting married this way back then in 70s, 80s not to talk of my age now to have witness it, else just for this late 20s where are we going to? Such life is portray publicly even in the presence of parents. No wonder b

Image
After 37 years of marriage. Jake dumped his wife for his Young secretary. His new girlfriend demanded that they live in Jake and Edith's multi-million dollar home and since the man's lawyers were a little better he prevailed. He gave Edith his now ex-wife just 3 days to move out. She spent the 1st day packing her belongings into boxes crates and suitcases. On the 2nd day she had to movers come and collect her things. On the 3rd day she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by candlelight put on some soft background music and feasted on a pound of shrimp a jar of caviar and a bottle of Chardonnay. When she had finished she went into each and every room and stuffed half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar into the hollow of all of the curtain rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen and left. When the husband returned with his new girlfriend all was bliss for the first few days. Then slowly the house began to smell. They tried everything cleaning mopping a

As a WOMAN, once you PLACE your VALUE on MONEY

Image
As a WOMAN, once you PLACE your VALUE on MONEY, there are THOUSANDS of MEN who are willing and ready to PAY the HIGH PRICE just to make you USELESS and WORTHLESS, by so doing, your VALUE/INTEGRITY is TARNISHED and VALUELESS.. Many MEN will come just for what you have as an ENJOYMENT and they will give you whatever you want just to have it. A lot of DESTINIES have been DESTROYED as a result of this. Many WOMBS have been DESTROYED.. Many GREAT STARS have been taken away.. Listen, if as a WOMAN, you SLEEP with any MAN you want, it's not because you are of HIGH VALUE, it's because you are EASY.. A WOMAN'S VALUE LIES in her BODY. If you think by SLEEPING with a lot of UNWORTHY MEN, your VALUE will INCREASE, TIME will prove you WRONG.  DEAR SISTERS please RESPECT yourselves. Truth is most THINGS you OPEN your LEGS for are very CHEAP and AFFORDABLE if you have a JOB, a SKILL or a TRADE.  In addendum: These WOMEN are not SLEEPING with themselves. I see no difference between a WOMA

The WW1 Sexual Liberation.

Image
 The WW1 Sexual Liberation. We tend to think of WW1 as the blood, mud and slaughter of the trenches, plucky young public  schoolboys off to fight for King/Kaiser and country, everyone in uniform and vast amounts of patriotic duty. What we tend to forget is the increase in STDs, pregnancy, back street abortions, rise of homosexuality and the booming prostitution industry. Prostitution and warfare go hand in hand throughout history, name a war or siege lines and somewhere there will be a pimp or madam with their girls/boys turning a trade.  The British Army had always turned a blind eye to it, they encouraged their troops not to engage in the trade but it was accepted that it happened and still does although officially it’s against Kings Regulations. During WW1, each new recruit was given a note from Lord Kitchener to not participate in the “wine and women of France”, this also applied to back home in Blighty. Around the garrison towns, departure docks and the new training camps popping

Meet Lisa Spark, the Woman Who Broke World Record For Sleeping With 919 Men In 12 hours

Meet Lisa Spark, the Woman Who Broke World Record For Sleeping With 919 Men In 12 hours Lisa Sparks, a mature actress from the United States who goes by the stage name Lisa Sparxxx, is believed to have slept with 919 men in a single day, according to the person who holds this rather questionable record. Technically, she was able to do the dubious accomplishment in less than 12 hours. Lisa Sparks created this as an alternate odd file on October 16, 2004, in Warsaw, Poland, during the Eroticon 2004 person conference. Lisa Sparks is a writer and actress. The assignment was assigned to the actress as part of the Third Annual World Gang bang Championship, in which she was previously pitted against two separate female competitors. Lisa defeated the opposition by ingeniously being penetrated by 919 men throughout a 12-hour period of time, which was quite unusual. A total of forty-five seconds were allotted to the guys with the actress in order to establish a new world record. A former world r

Few different aspects of Islamic history, but it's people usually hide it. (Homosexuality) ISLAMIC ECONOMIC??

Few different aspects of Islamic history, but it's people usually hide it. (Homosexuality)  ISLAMIC ECONOMIC?? PARADIGM, DISCIPLINE AND INDEPENDENCE: Is Islamic economics independent from economics? Does it make a paradigm of its own? Does it depend of a set of assumptions and analytical tools that is different from economics? Does it make a discipline of its own? Many Islamic economists have an undoubted affirmative answer. They argue that it is independent and they take upon themselves the task of attempting to invent an “appropriate set” of tools to understand the behavior of Muslim consumer, firm, macro numbers. The fervor of this attitude was very apparent when the world of economics had two-part Apartheid: communism and capitalism. In fact, communist writers also attempted to identify theirs as an independent paradigm while the capitalist have hidden their agenda under the plain name of “economics” for a long time. To the Islamic religion and ideology, capitalist and communis

One of the most agonizing execution methods in human history

Image
One of the most agonizing execution methods in human history , flaying was likely first practiced by the ancient Assyrians of Mesopotamia. Not only did they skin their prisoners of war alive, but they also took strides to make their victims' deaths as painful as possible. Assyrian executioners often started with the victim's buttocks or thighs, using sharp blades to pull the skin off in clean strips so that they could later hang them on the city walls.  This practice later continued on a massive scale during the Ming Dynasty in China between 1368 and 1644 C.E. The cruel Emperor Taizu reportedly slaughtered some 40,000 people just for criticizing him. Then, he followed the Assyrian model of flaying them and hanging their skins from the wall. And unfortunately, this was far from the last time this brutal execution method would be used.
