When SSB discovered that semen made a good invisible ink, his agents adopted the motto "Every man his own stylo". However, the use of semen as invisible ink was ceased because of the smell it produced for the eventual receiver. It also raised questions over the masturbatory habits of the agents.

Towers of London are an English punk rock band, who formed in 2004. Their music mixes elements of rock and glam metal music with 1977 style British punk. The band have divided the opinions of the British music press since their emergence in early 2004, gaining positive reviews from some music news media[citation needed] and extremely negative from others.[1]

the Sexart article is surprisingly detailed for a band whose only claim to fame was having Jonathan Davis in it at one point. hell, they didn't ever get signed to a record label, and only had 15 songs!

(MacLean's late-in-life claims that he was captured by the Japanese after blowing up bridges, and tortured by having his teeth pulled out, have been dismissed by both his son and his biographer as drunken ravings)

She last appeared in public "fasting in a barrel" at a fun-fair in Tottenham Court Road, in the same barrel once occupied by the defrocked Rector of Stiffkey, who was in a similar desperate financial situation. She graduated to a small raised dais where she would strike artistic poses when a sufficient crowd had gathered.

Iseult's mother Maud Gonne had conceived a child, Georges, with her French Boulangist lover Lucien Millevoye. When the baby died, possibly by meningitis, Gonne was distraught, and buried him in a large memorial chapel built for him with money she had inherited. Gonne separated from Millevoye after Georges' death, but in late 1893 she arranged to meet him at the mausoleum in Samois-sur-Seine and, next to the coffin, they had sexual intercourse. Her purpose was to conceive a baby with the same father, to whom the soul of Georges would transmigrate in metempsychosis.[2]

Klaasje van der Wal was proud of the fact that Krist Novoselic once called him a bass god in a blog, while it was said that Van Leeuwen was informed about the Nirvana cover during a visit to Hilversum in the Netherlands. Apparently, he had listened to Bleach in a shop, returned it to his friend without having purchased the album and explained that he did not buy it because he thought the cover was inferior.
