If you want to be special , surround yourself with people that think you so
If you want to be extraordinary , surround yourself with people that challenge your very soul....

The Sealand Skull.Not to backtrack in my own thread.... BUT.....
It looks like a fake to me but a very good one.
The patina in the eysockets and on the teeth
are kind of a giveaway, also the smoothness
of edges and too much of a molded look.
Supposedly they have done some testing on it
though, but who knows how much of that is true.
Interesting none the less.

After all, it isn't very nice to Hog up someone else's thread, now is it? And with the way I LIKE to post.... I would soon be an eyesore to her, I am sure.
Lol. I just started drinking coffee and had no idea that it moved ur bowels. I thought it was just me! Originally Posted by SweetDulce

Scientists know that coffee’s acidity helps with stimulating the distal colon which, in turn, leads to waste being rapidly dispelled from the body. What exactly triggers this effect gets a little more complicated. There are around 1,000 compounds found in coffee, any of which can cause our body to break down protein more efficiently, our stomach to dump its contents quickly into the large intestine, or increase our body’s level of cholecystokinin and gastrin — two hormones that help with food digestion.
Back on topic.Those are all TOO funny & thank-you for the laughs!

But audiences at the time, and ever since, have felt that the film comes to a dead end when the barber, impersonating Hynkel, delivers a monologue of more than three minutes which represents Chaplin's own views....

Chaplin (1889-1977) nevertheless was determined to keep the speech; it might have been his reason for making the film. He put the Little Tramp and $1.5 million of his own money on the line to ridicule Hitler (and was instrumental in directing more millions to Jewish refugee centers). He made his statement, it found a large audience, and in the stretches leading up to the final speech, he shows his innate comic genius. It is a funny film, which we expect from Chaplin, and a brave one. He never played a little man with a mustache again.
