Happy Birthday To The Marquis de Sade! ""Sex without pain is like food without taste." -- Marquis de Sade

[Selene]

Fortunately times have changed a bit in the 273 years that have passed since the Marquis de Sade was born on June 2nd, 1740.

His scandalous libertine sexuality and the chosen topics of his explicit writings caused him to spend 32 of his 74 years in various prisons and an insane asylum. And even though many people have never read any of his books, we all use the words "sadism" and "sadist" which are derived from his name.

Wow, I don't know why but for some reason id like to do some research on this individual. I honestly forgot about him, but I enjoy history and this is something I can research on the side.

Where did you get those moving icons from?

Or did you program them yourself?

Tee, hee! this is the funnest birthday card ever. I dub thee Iconographer Royal.

No doubt you will advise SC that the subject can be researched not only on the side but in almost any position!

Robert:

Programing icons is far above my pay grade. However, depending on how to "frame" your search terms you will come up with websites devoted to "icons," "gifs" and manner of expressive iconic images.

If you want I will IM one of the better ones.

You're welcome Carol.

Actually, I cannot understand the attraction of "gags." I do not find them visually attractive.

Additionally, I think that my feelings against them has to do with being asthmatic.
