Elizabeth sheathed her sword, knelt behind him, and strangled him to death with his own large bowel.
Some people say "if we split up,we can cover more ground"-with blood
No ninjas! How was that possible? Five daughters brought up at home without any ninjas! I never heard of such a thing. Your mother must have been quite a slave to your safety.

Of all the weapons in the world, love is the most dangerous.
