akdrv Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 A study of a 2,000-year-old silver coin found the Egyptian queen, famously portrayed by Elizabeth Taylor, had a pointed chin, thin lips and sharp nose. Her Roman lover, played by Richard Burton, had bulging eyes, thick neck and a hook nose. The tiny coin was studied by experts at Newcastle University. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/tyne/6357311.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiggAndyy Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Yeah, uh, she was freakin' Queen of the Nile. You'd hit it, you know you'd hit it. You'd hit it and then brag about hitting it. Don't try to convince me you'd have some sort of problem hitting it. You'd hit it and then stand in line for more.
