    Gay Alexander?

    Has anyone noticed that when Alexander of the Greeks appears the music sounds a lot like the soundtrack from Brokeback Mountain? Also, he is very handsome, rides a horse, and there is a snow-capped mountain in the background. It just seems very strange.

    And why does George Washington sound like Bill Clinton...

    Yes, I think I made a joke about this before. It was rated down to "inappropriate" by the more politically correct inclined of us

    By the way, Alexander the great, man in the flesh I mean, wasn't only homosexual, he was both bisexual and what we would now describe as a pedophile. In ancient Greek, that was still considered normal. Christian values later suppressed these cultural aspects across Europe.

    He was not a pedophile as we would say, in those days important men and men with a status all abused young boys. Plato, to name just one..... did this as well....

    Note that being very handsome is not an indication of gayness. Case in point, me.

    (I'm straight and very handsome not an ugly gay, smartarses)

    And why does George Washington sound like Bill Clinton...
    1) When a guy notices that the other guy is handsome... I for example did not notice that until it was mentioned on this forum.
    2) To my ear, George Washington sound more like Bush
