To what extent do you agree that the Islamization of eastern Bengal was a spontaneous process rather than the result of any concerted government policy?
The Buffalo State Bengals are composed of 16 teams representing Buffalo State College in intercollegiate athletics, including men and women's basketball, cross country, ice hockey, soccer, swimming & diving, and track and field. Men's sports include football. Women's sports include volleyball, lacrosse, and softball. The Bengals compete in the NCAA Division III and are members of the State University of New York Athletic Conference for most sports, except for the football team, which competes in the Empire 8.
Do you think that the Ikkō-ikki were a natural or even inevitable result of the tenets of Jōdo Shinshū being applied to the political context of the Sengoku period, or were the religious aspects of the movement more incidental and used to obscure secular or even materialistic concerns?
"Iko Iko" is a much-covered New Orleans song that tells of a parade collision between two "tribes" of Mardi Gras Indians and the traditional confrontation. The song, under the original title "Jock-A-Mo", was written in 1953 by James "Sugar Boy" Crawford in New Orleans. The story tells of a "spy boy" (i.e. a lookout for one band of Indians) encountering the "flag boy" or guidon carrier for another "tribe". He threatens to "set the flag on fire".
How long was Crazy Cabbie in prison and what has he been doing since ending his association with Howard Stern?
I totally agree with that assessment of events.
Historically speaking, did Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough have nicer boobs than me?
Historically speaking of course.
Boobs were technically not invented until 1869, by Lady Margaret Breast (although of course they were
unofficially invented about ten years earlier by a London madam named Fanny Titts); over 120 years after the death of the Duchess of Marlborough, so technically your question is invalid. Your ass is way nicer, however.
Joe,
How much you don't care about the Cisplatine War?
I care very much, actually! There's a deli about 5 miles from my house that has the best Cisplatines you'll ever find west of the Missoura.
Do you favour a Rankeian interpretation of history?
I do prefer Rankin' history in order of when things happened, yes. For example,
1. 1072
2. 1245
3. 1766
4. 1779
5. 1903
6. 1990
