"One could choose his or her desires from a list of murals, pointing in the direction of their sexual perseverance."

That's one of the reasons that I've never been to a brothel. My sexual perseverance's are pretty weird, and I'm embarrassed at the thought of letting anyone know what they are.

How many coats were you allowed to bring in with you? I understand the original name of the city was, "Star-a-topia".  ;D Sorry, couldn't resist.

Not many archeologists can be Agatha Christie.
Her second marriage was to an archeologist.  She was asked how she kept his interest up.
