A better way of discussing a tranny of religion:
Discuss... *leaves before the Ben ****stormDid you know that Jenner considers herself a Christian“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

"Privy Members" would be a good name for rock band.
Especially if it was a band made up of hipster douches.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

I've always wondered if the term "privy council" had any relation to the term "privy member"
King: And you shall be my privy council!
Duke Whatshisname: Oh boy, so I'm a privy member?

Closer than you probably think.
This title was an amalgamation of Esquires of the Household and the Knights of the Body.
The Privy Chamber became a separate household department under the command of one of the two chief gentlemen who also assumed the title of the Groom of the Stool. The primary duty of the groom of the stole (or stool) was to see that "the house of easement be sweet and clear". He, however, emerged eventually as the manager of the privy chamber as well as the privy purse.
The gentlemen were assisted by the grooms of the privy chamber who, under the supervision of the gentlemen ushers, attended to the cleanliness of the rooms.The Statutes of Eltham of 1526 provided for 6 gentlemen, 2 gentlemen ushers, 4 grooms, a barber, and a page, "whom the King's grace for their good behaviour and quallityes hath elected for that purpose" (14 people). As salary a gentleman received £50 a year, a gentleman usher £30, and a groom £20. Every esquire was entitled to 5 horses whereas every groom to 2 horses.

The title originally referred to the chamberpot (or stool) of the king. Later it came to represent the long robe of the Monarch (from the Latin stola, meaning garment). This especially prized title was awarded to sons of noblemen or important members of the gentry. As minions of the King & close court companions they would spend quality time with him and it allowed them unobstructed access to the King's attention. Among other administrative duties of the privy chamber, they had the task of cleaning the Monarch's rear. Henry's successor Edward VI abolished the title.
"...the description of the materials used in the construction of Henry VllI's close-stool. It ..was covered in black velvet, stuffed with three pounds of down for the seat, arms and side, and was held together with 2,000 gilt garnishing nails and 26 bullion nails, but no matter how it was decorated, it still remained a chamber-pot" ~Lacey Baldwin Smith in A Tudor TragedyNo, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment
