I do want a gay kitten. Though other tomcats might try to beat him up when he wants to make love, not war. A pair of Queen Victoria's drawers from her later years was recently exhibited. They were rather large, though Vicky had been a slender lass at the beginning of her long reign. Don't know what her legs, er, limbs looked like. And doubt she was in any need of an extra antique desk. On the gay topic, I was at a church bazaar yesterday. They were selling lots of what was described in the English text as "coloured sugar for rimming".

The time travel ad is not real. It's from a Transformers fan fiction written in 1997. Floating Through Time by Joona_Palaste.
Nutrax The plural of anecdote is not data.

Reminds me of a time travelling short story by John Wyndham: a small town finds itself visited by people from the future, and finds the encounter pleasant and interesting - until more and more arrive and the present-day people find themselves almost hounded by coach parties of tourists from the future gawping at them and asking them daft questions. In the end, they get their own back by launching their own tours for present-day people to see the funny clothes, haircuts and habits of the future, complete with demeaning posters all round the town: and finally the future people take the hint and stop coming.

I've probably mentioned this before, but it's an enduring source of amusement for me. I found it in a book compilation of editorial clunkers:
The women were squatting over the cooking fires. There was a smell of burning meat.
