"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

So clearly I need to spend more time on the History Channel.

That new Cleopatra book sounds great.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

But Xena met both Cleopatra AND Nefertiti. How is that possible?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I heard the author of that book on NPR a little while back! Sounded very interesting.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cleopatra was really River Song?

Because books.

I love that the site is maintained by the Tom Hardy Image Liberation Front. A noble service, totally.

Weird prosthetic arm: [link]

Kaylene Kau's prosthetic arm isn't your typical robot-arm. It doesn't even have fingers — it's flexible tentacle design would make for an excellent replacement hand for wielding a lightsaber.

As a part of a student project, Kau was asked to "push the boundaries of current upper-limb prosthetic design." Powered by a small motor and a set of cables, the tentacle shaped prosthetic arm curls its claw to grip objects.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Cleopatra was Jasmine.

Cleopatra? Knew Julius Caesar? And *knew* Julius Caesar?

Yes, more History Channel for you. Or may I recommend The Cartoon History of the Universe? The section on Arab history cleared up a lot of Middle Eastern confusion for me.

Won't the History Channel only give you WWII?
