I never knew how many of my f-listers were from Australia until there was an election. Have fun with your new government, guys.

Today's dictionary/historical lolz:

Parr, Catherine: (1512-48), sixth wife of Henry VIII, who married him in 153 and survived him.

[emphasis mine]

I'm such a nerd.

Yeah, I know. He only decpaitated two of his wives, but it's still funny :)

If this week ever ends it will be a miracle of biblical proportions.

She might not have done if one of my ancestors hadn't kept her mouth shut (under horrific torture) and refused to implicate Catherine Parr as a Protestant. They burned her at the stake, and she became a Protestant martyr. Anne Askew, if you're struck with an unearthly desire to look it up.

On a more geeky note, this means I have a tenuous link to Henry Fitzroy... Eee! :D
