  • The Romans used to use continuous tickling of the feet as a form of torture.
  • The word “tickle” comes from the Middle English word “tikelen”, meaning “to touch lightly”.
  • Being tickled by a very light touch across your skin is called “knismesis”. This type of tickle doesn’t usually produce laughter, but does produce the same type of panic response as the alternative form of tickling, called “gargalesis”. Gargalesis is the form of tickling produced by repeatedly having pressure put on ticklish areas.

Liberal Democrat Mike Hancock, 64, who sits on the defence committee, was introduced to Katia Zatuliveter on one of his regular visits to the Eastern Bloc superpower.

He employed the 25-year-old blonde as a parliamentary assistant - handing her at least three years' access to official documents on defence policy.

Ideally, a swallow is more desirable to the man than his usual opportunities, but not so desirable as to make him suspicious. The target needs to believe the woman has a genuine interest. A woman who looks like a supermodel would draw serious suspicion regarding motives in most cases.

Olympic champion and world pole vault record holder Yelena Isinbayeva made an unimpressive return to competition after an 11-month break by winning a low-key indoor meeting on Sunday.






Isinbayeva struggled to find her top form but was still too good for her rivals, clearing 4.81 metres on her first attempt to win the annual Russian Winter invitational.

This is a fair point. And I guess if I'm 64, I'm happy enough with this chick.

I'll allow it!

The main reason I sometimes check the General Pro Player Discussion thread is to see if there are new posts in the "Federer photoshopped" thread. Where is TenniseaWilliams?

Angry the "Heidi Game"

Preston Ridlehuber, a journeyman NFL player enjoyed his biggest moment as a pro while scoring a late touchdown in a famous game--unfortunately for Ridlehuber, nobody saw it as NBC cut away to "Heidi"

(NBC's operator switchboards literally blewup with the avalanche of irate calls that came in)




Former NFL QB Brad Johnson named his son "Maximus"

Maximus Johnson

Gee, thanks dad.

Maximus Johnson. That's actually funnier than this one dude I knew years ago...named...Massimo Amador. Yes, I believe that translates to maximum lover. He was basically the southern European Shaft.
