Is the correct answer!!
He never wore one!!
He bought lots of silver stars for about 25 shillings after he was given all kinds of titles by the King of Naples and stuck them all over a sash which he put on when standing on the deck of The Victory with his hands clasped behind his back.
So from 50 feet away, the French shot him.
He never lost an eye, just the sight in one eye.
His lover, Lady Hamilton, was vastly overweight and had a broad Lancashire accent, not quite how portrayed by Vivien Leigh in the film.


i see no ships ;).

Aristotle
He gave good explanations as to how he knew this, but earlier Greeks have been credited with saying it was round, though with little explanation of how they knew this.
Pythagoras, Theophrastus and Hesiod have all been credited with saying it first.
Actually, it was bees.
They can recognize the position of the sun even at night,
Honey bees have evolved a complex language to tell each other where the best nectar is based on the position of the sun, they can do this on overcast days and at night by calculating the position of the sun on the other side of the world, so are at least partly aware the world is round.

Many termites build their mounds up with spiral corridors inside, so as the sun moves around they can stay in the shade and keep cool.
Bees have the most highly developed sense of magnetism of any animal, so that if you put a strong magnet in with them they will build their honeycombs with cylindrical cells, which is never seen in nature (hexagonal of course, as this utilizes the minimum amount of wax for the maximum amount of storage space in a given area.

Hello all! Had a bit of a Bummer day today. Was the last day of class for rad protection and only pulled a B :-/. I know it seems picky but now I've broken my 4.0...

Hi, Meech!!:)
Sorry about that, I can understand you being disappointed, I would be in that position, too!
Still, onwards and upwards, it'll inspire you to greater things next time! :)

If a thread is removed for whatever reason would that also delete any record of your postings on it too?
I have been trying to find the post that was started about a Tortoise and Turtle rescue in North East of England last night
- they were asking for unwanted T & Ts and I asked a few questions.
I can't remember which thread it was started under but I have searched and checked my postings on my profile page
but it all seems to have disappeared without a trace.
Spooky Hallowe'en goings on? :confused: Or maybe they didn't like my questions.:rolleyes:
I was very polite though and thanked for offering the service.
A mystery!!

If a post is moved out of view, then it should remove it from your posting history. Even if you had the url, it would just come up as an error or no permissions page. I think any posts removed from view are also deducted from your post count immediately - or they should be. There was an issue a while back where someone had like 100 posts (or more) in the 'bin' and took quite a hit in the post count when the 'bin' was cleaned out, so much so that they noticed and complained.
