What is a fishtail skirt? ?
I can't get a clear idea from pictures. I am considering buying a skirt on ebay, but it says it has a 'fishtail' and as there is only one picture I'm not clear what that means. Is it some kind of train on the back, or frill/ ruffles?

We are all familiar with the cartoon cheese that is yellow and has holes in it. Examples include Edam, Jarlsberg and Leerdammer cheese - but how do the holes get in the cheese and why doesn't all cheese get holes in it?

7 AnswersLanguages1 decade agoHow can I get Episode 21 of Monty Python's Flying Circus?
It includes the sketch with John Cleese as Ludwig Van Beethoven. I have Googled, and looked on Amazon and tried various other searches but the compliations available don't include this sketch. I'd like to get hold of it if possible. I'd also like to know which episode included a cartoon of a man and a woman in Edwardian dress with the woman saying 'would you mind if I made a complete and utter fool of myself' and the man saying 'do, Beatrice, do'. And the Cardinal Richlieu court scene...Any ideas? Thanks.

12 AnswersOther - Education1 decade agoDo you think that scientists can reall predict the year that the world will end? Read on for more details...?
Scientists have calculated the year when the human race will cease to exist. It will be October 31, otherwise known as Halloween. But there is no need to worry yet as the year is 2,252,006 - more than two-and-a-quarter million years from now.
The date was announced by a team of European geologists and palaeontologists after millions of fossils from central Spain were analysed.
It confirms suspicions that mammal species have an average lifespan of 2.5 million years and modern man has already been around for 250,000 years.
The reason for the life cycle is thought to be a blip in the Earth's orbit which means it does not get as close to the sun as usual, triggering rapid cooling.
A report in Nature Journal says the subsequent ice age would destroy all human life
