THERE ARE ONLY ELEVEN TIMES IN HISTORY
When the "F" word has been considered acceptable for use

Here's another post from Doug's blog. [Sorry for lifting your stuff Doug - but I've got some heavy ones coming up on the Sudan and need to lighten things up a little around here] Numbers 11, 10, 4 and 1 are my favourites.

There are only eleven times in history when the “F” word has been considered acceptable for use. They are as follows:

11. “What the @#$% do you mean we are sinking?” — Capt. E. J.  Smith of RMS. Titanic, 1912

6. “How the @#$% did you work that out?” — Pythagoras, 126 BC

5. “You want WHAT on the @#$%ing ceiling?” — Michelangelo, 1566

4. “Where the @#$% am I?” — Amelia Earhart, 1937
