I propose a new forum, a wishtory forum so people can post up wishtory where they find it so everyone else can rip it to shreds and with hope people looking in can learn something useful.
This is the historical version of TPBDC: share your favorite tidbits of historical belly dance absurdity here.
A personal favorite: We know from paintings in Egyptian tombs that belly dance began in ancient times a) as a harem competition to seduce the sultan; b) a temple dance to honor the goddess; c) an early form of Lamaze.
