Happy wedding anniversary, Henry VIII! Verily on this day in 1543, he married Catherine Parr, and as they say, sixth time’s the charm. According to the Big Book of Weddings, the traditional gift for the 469th anniversary is ‘MP3’, so here’s Answer Me This! Episode 223 for you, you loved-up kids:
Today we contemplate:
speciation
bloody Mary
pub lighting
Def Leppard videos vs. Duran Duran videos
Bieber vs. dopamine
pride vs. prizes
curry house atmosphere
crisp etiquette (US translation: potato chip etiquette)
farm-themed restaurants
sepulchral Hollister
and
that bitch Tinkerbell.
Plus: Olly is mistaken for someone even lower on the celebrity ladder than he is; Helen breaks the bad news that Cain and Abel were motherjeffers; and Martin the Sound Man has something in common with the Queen, other than his fondness for shiny jewels and waving.
This week’s Bit of Crap on the App (available on iDevices and Android) demonstrates how Martin paid a woman to write his name on her body. For ‘charity fundraising’, allegedly. Good ruse!

Did you get monumentally confused between Duran Duran and Def Leppard? Princess Di would never have said she liked the hard rockers from Sheffield with the drummer with one arm, she was much more into Simon Le Bon and the boys (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbuAPwleQIM). Apparently she once wolf whistled Simon Le Bon in the gym! http://www.exposay.com/duran-duran-singer-reveals-cheeky-side-of-princess-diana/v/11705/

The Super-Sperm Theory makes about as much sense as anything else in Genesis so why the heck not.

Re: Adam & Eve – although the Bible doesn’t mention it (it doesn’t mention lots of things, like dinosaurs) i have always assumed that this all-powerful God who had created the whole universe and all, and He *probably* would be capable of creating some more people. Mind you, I do like Ollie’s suggestion that Adam had some kind of super-sperm which allowed a great genetic variety!
