"Of course," says Darksplash, "You're not the only one who knows about lust. OK, it may not have been the Gettysburg Address, but this was way up there among the most memorable of quotes by an (at the time aspiring) American President:
'I have looked on a lot of women with lust. I have committed adultery in my heart many times. God recognizes I will do that, and forgives me.'

Which of these women was NOT involved in one of Zeus's lustful episodes?" |

"But then," interjects Klavierstueck, cutting off Quiz_Beagle, "what of other kinds of lust? What about lust for knowledge? After all, quoth a famous 17th-century English philosopher: 'Curiosity is the lust of the mind.' Which philosopher said this?" |

After watching another inept performance by his favourite football team, Snowman just wished they showed a lust for winning, and that got him thinking that the 1956 movie "Lust For Life" was based on a novel of the same name by the author Irving Stone. Following the path of an artistic genius from his early days as a painter to his eventual self-destruction, the story is based on the letters written by the artist to his brother, Theo. Who was the artist, portrayed by Kirk Douglas, that was the subject of the movie? |

All of this reminded Darksplash that Van Gogh did not make much money while he was alive, unlike a certain pop star who turned his hand to advertising car insurance on British television. Which star once sang:
"Well, I'm just a modern guy
Of course, I've had it in the ear before
'Cause of a lust for life
'Cause of a lust for life"? |
