<p>I'm not a huge fan of motorcycles but this is truly awesome. Some of his other machines are almost as mind-blowing.</p>

I read that in the weekend, I'd love to see that sort of writing in our magazines or papers -
<p>fascinating read!</p>

Yeah thanks Antipodean<br><br>
It joins a lot dots. Always wondered why he had such chronic injuries that no other golfer seemed to have<br><br>
A bit of a pattern, you deny someone a normal social childhood and adolescence and things often get weird later -
<p>Fascinating article, but I wonder what Tiger would make of it if he read it. I suspect he might spend a bit of time going, "WTF"? :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I remember reading somewhere, some guy asserting point blank that, "Everyone wants to be famous". I reckon that's miles from the truth - I suspect much of it would be bloody awful.</p> -

<p>Thats what clarkson said, fame over fortune - never heard anytihng so ridiculous. Being rich is good all the time, being famous is awful all the time. Or something like that.</p> -
I would hate to he famous. I'd end up in a bar somewhere with Jesse Ryder drinking to escape reality.
-
Yep, fame sucks, I hate it!

<p>​Rembrandt,</p>

<p>Seemingly but the article actually says</p>
<p> </p>
<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">
<p> </p>
<p> Though the map suggests the areas around Milan, Krakow, and the Spain-France border were unaffected, that's not actually true. It's just that compared with the staggering devastation suffered by the rest of Europe, those areas experienced hardly any deaths at all.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But that doesn't mean they <em>objectively</em> suffered a small number of deaths: According to Rutgers historian <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='https://books.google.com/books?id=oK4HTBcdSJsC&printsec=frontcover&dq=robert+gottfried&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjTiIH4k4_MAhXLbT4KHZLZAEMQ6wEIHTAA#v=onepage&q=milan&f=false'>Robert Gottfried</a>, the death rate in Milan was "only" 15 percent, and <strong>"only" around 25 percent in modern Poland</strong>. In other words, the rest of Europe was hit so badly that losing 15 percent of your population wasn't even enough to put a city on the map.</p>

<p>Ahh, the plague! On first viewing I thought it was the Muslim hordes invading...</p>
