Title: Fun Fact Post by: cryptochild4 on 18/08/2011, 07:25 PM The Story of sleeping Beauty,
In the story we all know from the Brothers Grimm the girl pricks her finger falls asleep and is woken by a stolen kiss from a prince. The real story dates back much much longer/older than that and in an earlier version, the prince actually raped the sleeping beauty, this however did not wake her. She carried twins to him, and delivered them, this also did not wake her. After the babies were born, the climbed towards her breasts for a feed, one found her finger and sucked out the poison thorn that kept her asleep, and she awoke. stories really do change over time Title: Re: Fun Fact Post by: DonutKing on 18/08/2011, 08:08 PM should read some greek mythology. people fucking and giving birth to animals and shit. The ancients were pretty fucked up.

Title: Re: Fun Fact Post by: Ametros on 19/08/2011, 06:39 PM Greek mythology is awesome - Zeus was such a raunchy bastard,
Then again, there's also Norse mythology, where the god Loki took on the form of a mare, got shagged by a stallion, and gave birth to an eight-legged foal. Kinky bastard, huh? Title: Re: Fun Fact Post by: cryptochild4 on 20/08/2011, 08:28 AM the stallion he got shagged by was Odin, in the guise of a horse. after a few more cunning deciets Loki son was killed and his intestines were used to bind loki in the centre of the earth where a poisonous snake drips venom into his eyes 24/7 untill the end of the world. Loki's wife is there catching the dripping venom in a bowl untill it fills up then she must walk away to empty it allowing some drips to go into Loki's eyes, during which time he abuses the fuck out of her verbally and she smiles along.

Also - it's not the end of the world, it's RAGNAROK!! It just sounds so much cooler. |
