Middle Ages.. depends on what country really.

Or conduct an experiment to see if a swan flying in a straight line from Africa to Europe could in fact carry a coconut=) Quote:

Hmm, the latter doesn't sound too pleasing. I much like the first one. I'd have to say though, I think I'd like to be in Spain during those times. It seemed to be happening there

Yeah, plus it's warmer there then the rest of Europe=) Cool thing about Spain (and Portugal) was they sent so many explorers out into the world. Must have been swashbuckling fun
You could also try out a job at a Medieval help-desk technical support Much like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQHX-...eature=related

Yes, yes, lots of conquestors.
(oh God, now I have the song Conquest stuck in my head...erghhh) Too bad I can't watch youtube videos *curses living in the country surrounded by trees and having to deal with dial-up* Man, having dial-up is living in the Middle Ages...

I would probably done that too if I lived back then. Even if I had to dress up like a man!
I have dial-up because high speed internet isn't all the way out where I live And the song Conquest by the White Stripes. I'm pretty sure that it's a remake of another song, but the one by The White Stripes is the one I'm talking about. edit: gotta go, school night unfortunately. Damn pre-calc test tomorrow that I have no clue what I am doing...

You could pretend you were a Sire until the ship was out of bounds, then kill the Captain, proclaim you are a Lady, threaten the crew and proclaim yourself the new Commander of the ship! You'd have to bring alot of bribe-money though to keep a mutiny off your hands tho
At least you have something look forward to! Dial-up reminds me of Africa *Dialing* Doooo--deeee--daaaaa--dooooo--dooooo *Connecting* Deeeeeeeeeeeee--deeeee--tshjk tshjk----deeeeeeee *connected* hav fun. I have to sleep now! 3 am omgggg i am going to be so tired tommorrow... nite all=)

I know. O_o I never understand how people are like, "I wish I could live in the middle ages! It was so romantic!" or "I should've been born in the mid 1800's, I would've done well then."
I just think, "Umm, no. You would not have. No toilets, no iPods, no cars, no phones, rampant disease, they didn't know how to handle things like 'sour stomachs' that we can fix easily now.... you would not enjoy it as much as you think." |

My post count was sneaking up on me, but in order to avoid me, not to jump at me, unfortunately - if it had done, I would have noticed, and celebrated

Hmmm, if I had lived in the Middle Ages I would probably be burned at the stake for being a witch. Can't say I fancy the idea much. Either that or a nun. I do like the idea of that though. If I had been Catholic, I would have seriously considered it IRL.
And what Sis said. I mean, I couldn't bathe because water was supposed to get me sick and I'd have to drink beer instead? o_O Off to school. First day of my major with a new class, new teachers, etc. Wish me luck! >_< NB: Congrats Varna!
