Will we ever have an undisputed heavyweight champion again?
The last time we had an undisputed heavyweight champion the Duke of Normandy (William The Conqueror or William I) defeated King Harold Godwinson (Harold I) at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 which is depicted on the Bayeux Tapestry with Halley's Comet, Edward The Confessor and Harold and all that, William commissioned the ancient document/survey the Domesday Book in 1086 and commissioned the Tower of London in 1078, King Harold defeated Hardrada at the Battle of Stamford Bridge one month before the Battle of Hastings, William The Conqueror's half brother Bishop Odo commissioned the Bayeux Tapestry in 1066 and then the Plantagenets Richard The Lionheart (Richard I) fought against Saladin in the series of battles The Crusades in 1193 (Crusades started were from 1095 - 1291) for the Holy Land before Saladin and Richard put down a Truce and there being a King's Ransom for Richard in 1194 before he died in 1199 and his brother John ascending the throne and sealing the Magna Carta (great charter in Latin) in 1215 at Runnymede before losing the Crown Jewels in the Wash and then dying in 1216 and Henry III ascending the throne. Okay it hasn't been that long but it has been a long time since we had an undisputed heavyweight champion lol.
Basketball t-shirt ideas...?
My bf wants me to design a shirt for him to wear to all of my games this year. It will have my name and # on the back but I need a (preferably witty/cute) saying for the front. Any suggestions? saying length and design patterns are not an issue...Oh, and if it helps spark any ideas, I'm a senior this year, I play the power forward position, and I'm a returning starter from last year. I'm also the tallest girl on my team

Can anybody suggest any good books for me to read?
You may or may not bee too old to read this but, I really liked the Mysterious Benedict Society series by Trenton Lee Stewart. It is somewhat fantasy and has a lot of action at the end of the 1st book (I'm still in the beginning of the second book). I would also recommend the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan. It's about a boy who is the son of Poseidon and goes on adventures at Camp Half-Blood, the camp for demigods. It's fantasy (because of all the Greek gods) and it has a lot of action. If you want something that has to do with animals, i would recommend the book Dog by Daniel Pennac. I don't actually know what it's about but I've heard about it.
Atheists: How can you be so sure you won't end up being a Christian?
Others have tried to resist it, and they were unable. It's a force that takes over the mind and heart and even those who've been atheists for their entire lives are sudden bombarded by irresistible conviction over their sin, and the temptation to get saved. If it hasn't happened to you yet, that doesn't mean it won't happen very soon. It's like a viral infection. It starts with a little seed in your brain that starts to take root. Then it grows into a thought pattern. Pretty soon, it's so strong, that you can't resist it. You can try to catch it early and kill it before it grows, but by that time it's too late. Its persistent and continual nagging eventually wears you down until you finally give in. It seems to strike even the most unsuspecting people, yet it often targets the most well-fortified individuals. It has taken others and they say they couldn't resist it... so if it's not a choice, then is it destiny?
