The Degree Confluence Project. I enjoyed it, but only because I'm a bit of a geek for maps and stuff. Could be a bit heavy going for the regular Greasy Chip Butty reader.

Hopefully this will run and run.
For about the past 10 years Christmas has sold it's soul to commercialism, reinforced today with finding out Superdrug having their Deccys up already.

Was the Wife of King Henry VIII Guilty of Adultery? [STOP THE IRRITATING NOISE BY SCROLLING TO THE BOTTOM AND TURNING IT OFF OR JUST LOWER YOUR SPEAKERS FOR A WHILE]

I found this last night whilst looking up Henry VIII's Children (dont ask why .... oh OK, I was reading a TV guide on the toilet that it said he had a son, and knowing as all English people should do that Elizabeth I ruled after him wondered what happened to him, being the next natural sucessor and all). Anyhow, I stumbled upon this absolutly fanstastic article. Well you may not think so but read it all the way through as though you are someone (perhaps a young child, using the internet perhaps for a history lesson - it is top ranking in Google for 'Henry 8th Children') and wait until you get to the last couple of paragraphs before the author brings his conclusions to the fore. I *think* this is how Hitler got to power. I could be wrong. Looking back I dont know why, but I literally was laughing my bollocks off!
