Do you mean the Battle of Adowa? In that case it's the Italians (just ahead of The Ethiopians).

Q14: I don't know how many positions Sade believes there are, but...

he did write a book called 120 Days of Sodom.

And according to Prince there are 22 positions in a one night stand ;)

Q24: I think it's C) 800 million.

I knew it was fairly large.
Sade was a bizarre man.

He spent all of his time in jail experimenting with dildos, using ones of various sizes and then recording the sensations etc.

I really wish I didn't know that info...

Never seen it.

But read Sade's biography a couple of years back. Fascinating fellow. Makes your average AFL footballer look pretty ordinary ;)
