He initially came up as 'Judas is a riot', & that's what all the others said about him, yet he left the Last Supper early. Oh if only he'd been persuaded to stay for dessert & a game of Twister, things could have been so different.

If only Michaelangelo could have left out the two other Christs, the extra Apostles and the kangaroo from his " Last Supper " painting, we wouldn't be having this discussion.😏 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Susannah Reid thought she had been offered a good earner by switching channels. My god she is earning her corn working along side Morgan. A complete lunatic.

Baron99 798 #33 Posted February 5, 2019 Who's the most misunderstood human in history? I'd say it's a toss-up between L. L. Zamenhof, inventor of Esperanto or 'Prof.' Stanley Unwin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Sadly, he was chemically castrated because of his homosexuality and committed suicide soon after. I totally agree. There should be monuments all over the place to this man.
