Today we will have a little history lesson from CharlieB.
Military constructions by Spanish engineers have always been a supreme example of their skills. Here is a photo of a fortress that was built in Ibiza (before the night clubs). It is based on the Castle of St Philip of Cartagena of the Indies, where Blas de Lezo culminated his glorious campaign against Perfidious Albion.
The Island of Ibiza, because of its strategic position in the Mediterranean was throughout history an important military and commercial enclave.
So, in 1554, Prince Felipe, the future Felipe II, commissioned the construction of a new fortress. The original project by Calvi was taken up many years later by the Italian engineer Fratín and remained until the 18th century without any significant alterations.
Here is a picture of the fortress.
Charlieb is quite the scholar of history isn't he?
I thought it was only one Castle? Oh wait, there that blurry thing in the background. Nevermind...

Posted by: Stinkey Diver on December 29, 2007 12:05 AMThat's what a military engineer would call breastworks.

Posted by: Milton on December 29, 2007 02:01 PMHey all,
What is this fortress you keep talking about? All I see is a big fucking pair of tits that could probably feed half of Africa.
It looks as if those beach balls are hurting her back. Why don't she just lay down and then put her legs up in the air to stretch her back out?
If those are fake, he is one hell of a surgeon. I would vote that those are real, but I would like to play around with them just to be sure.

In my universe, its called counter-balance....
And, those ta-ta's were up there on the 10-scale...

Actually, I don't find 58 cadillacs all that attractive! 58 Buick on the other hand...
