Very tasty

Mary had a little lamb,
her father shot it dead.
Now it goes to school with her,
between two slices of bread.

Black Dawn - Page Five - Viktor Radovic

Image
Read from the beginning here. Read the previous scene here. BLACK DAWN - CHAPTER ONE - SCENE FIVE VICTOR RADOVIC: BLACK DAWN BASE OF OPERATIONS, LONDON. The factory was silent now. Everything was set. Years in the planning and the endgame was finally here. Viktor's finger glided over a set of unrolled blueprints, tracing the lines with idle precision. “You are ready?” he asked without looking up. Across from him stood a broad-shouldered man in a black tactical jacket and combats, his arms crossed, his face impassive. "We are," he said with confidence, yet a hesitation lingered in his posture. "Go on," Viktor said. “And after?” “The wheel will stop at the designated time. Your only task is to keep Rand there until Westminster burns. He must see what his curse has brought him.” "Then what?"

Fun Facts About King Louis VIII of France

King Louis VIII of France and his very brief reign as King of England. King Louis VIII's reign as King of France didn't last long, just a mere three years between 14th July, 1223, and 8th November, 1226. His reign as King of England didn't ever happen.

Whilst holidaying in the south of England, he got really plastered on an all night booze-up celebrating the fact his last remaining virgin dog had just got his leg over.

History Facts King Henry IV of France assassinated

Image
On This Day In History, May 14th 1610, King Henry IV of France was assassinated. During his lifetime King Henry IV of France had three assassination attempts made against him. Well, two attempted assassinations and one actual assassination. King Henry had been raised a protestant. When he became King of France in 1589, he was pretty much forced to convert to Catholicism, due to France being a catholic country, and them placing nipple clamps on him until he agreed. Everyone was happy about the King's sudden and unexpected change of religion, except for the protestants. They were not. At all. It also appeared that Spain wasn't happy either. Mainly with Henry, who they didn't like as he didn't share any of his chocolate biscuits with them. Henry IV was the first King of France from the House of Bourbon. Spain kept pestering Henry to give him those chocolate biscuits. Henry finally had enough. Instead of handing over the biscuits, he just went and declar...
