The conventional pics in standard western playing cards are stylized representations of early 16th century European monarchs and consorts, e.g. Hearts is Henry VIII, and the kings of France and Spain at the time are a couple of the others. I forget which is which.Originally posted by daviejones View Postprobably old...

Of course I did, what do you take me for, a gullible fool?Originally posted by daviejones View Post....but have you tried licking your elbow?
I even stuck my tongue out despite being in the certain knowledge it would not help at all.
Reminds me of a place in Australia I once visited that was full of some sort of tricks that I don’t recall now, except one. It was a mirror beside which were written some (true) facts related to how a part of the population can’t curl their tongues and other tongue-curling trivia. Anyway about 20 min later along the exhibits you end up almost back by the tongue thing again, but in a corridor behind. It was in fact a two-way mirror and you get to see the most disgusting views of people peering into a mirror doing the most graphic tongue curdling antics that you might ever wish to see.Last edited by TimberWolf; 23 January 2008, 10:59.Comment
