But no doubt we'll learn more if archeologists find her tomb. They think they're getting close. (Search for more on the quest.) But in the meantime, here's a bit about the last pharaoh of Egypt. Cleopatra VII ascended the throne as a teenager. She married and ruled alongside each of her younger brothers. Both met untimely ends, in which she may have had a hand

- liaokangYaYa posted on 05/13/2009Yes, men and women are different when it comes to orgasm. Women tend to bond around sex and orgasm due to the production of Oxytocin in the brain. After orgasm, Oxytocin (also known as "The Cuddle Drug") women float on cloud 9. We call our girlfriends and gush. We start picking out wedding gowns. We glow in the dark. Men, on the other hand, have a tendency to behave in an opposite way. This partly explains why they don't call the next day. Combine Oxytocin with Estrogen and the two walk hand

My affair may never be classic, but it's both romantic and real. Last spring, I fell in love. My lover is my backyard. My affair is how an intimate and emotional bond was formed between her and me.
