    Juan King less in Europe now.

    From the article you linked:
    King Juan Carlos, who is 76, has ruled since 1975. His son Prince Felipe, 45, will take over the throne.

    Breaking news, the link has been updated since I posted it. It appears now to be the standard procedure for Royalty to abdicate before their successor gets too old.

    Queen Elizabeth (so far) being the exception.

    Felipe, unlike his father, is an Atletico fan. I welcome this development.

    As did I.

    But it is quite obvious that the Monarchs on the continent are re-invigorating their claims to dominance; this trend is clearly a strategic reformation to strengthen their position so that they can seize power after the coming mega-war.

    Looking at pictures of Princess Letizia makes me want to masturbate more.

    Had a fantastic discussion with a student (in Spain) this morning about this piece of news...

    She says: Did you hear the big news?

    I says: Yes, what do you think about it?


    She says: Nothing.


    Definitely goes down as one of the greatest conversations I've ever had in my life. And to think I get paid for this! Luckiest woman alive!

    Oh ... OK then.
