Must I point out the obvious?

I posted this earlier a little while back on The Perfumed Garden of the Shaykh Nefwazi -but obviously you didn't read it. So here come's your spoon-feeding. Open the tunnel, the choo choo train is coming...

Chapter 2: Concerning Women Who Deserve To Be Praised

"In order that a woman may be relished by men, she must have a perfect waist...... If one looks at a woman with those qualities in front, one is fascinated; if from behind, one dies with pleasure...... She speaks and laughs rarely, and never without a reason. She never leaves the house, even to see neighbours of her acquaintance. She has no women friends, gives her confidence to nobody, and her husband is her sole reliance...... If her husband shows his intention of performing the conjugal rite, she is agreeable to his desires and occasionally even provokes them...... she is always elegantly attired, of the utmost personal propriety, and takes care not to let her husband see what might be repugnant to him."

Matthew Hurley's UFO Artwork

This is an amazing collection of artwork depicting UFO's through the ages! Some of the artwork represents actual sightings, others feature UFOs in a religious context.

Here are 8 of my favourites:

"These petroglyphs were created thousands of years ago by ancient Indians in the American Southwest. According to Indian folklore, two objects collided high in the sky and one crash-landed in the region of Death Valley.
