If you like Arthorian Legends you may appreciate this video that broke down the myth and history...plus the characters all have the most luxurious hair I've ever seen.

--- Quote ---I’ll tell you what’s ferocious. Freddie’s comeback to Sid calling him “Freddie Platinum” when they were recording down the hall from each other at London’s Wessex Studios (Queen for News of the World, Pistols for Bollocks).
Sid Vicious made the mistake one day of bursting into Queen’s control room and antagonizing their frontman. “Have you succeeded in bringing ballet to the masses, then?” he sneered. “Oh, yes, Simon Ferocious,” Mercury replied. “We’re trying our best, dear.”
Then, according to Queen biographer Daniel Nester, Freddie rose from his chair and began to playfully flick the safety pins displayed on the front of Sid’s leather jacket. “Tell me,” he asked, “did you arrange these pins just so?” When Sid stepped forward in an attempt to intimidate Freddie, the singer simply pushed him backwards and inquired, “What are you going to do about it?” Sid immediately backed down.

A sign of maturity; recognizing a situation in which a fight is motivated solely by ego, that ego is not worth fighting over, and that fighting will accomplish nothing beneficial. Kudos to Mercury for not going hyperbolic over Sid's intrusion. Kudos to Sid for not rising to Mercury's blatant if playful baiting. Kudos to both for de-escalating.
Given the people involved, I wonder whether Mercury was actually making fun of Sid, or just flirting with him. Or, embracing his fundamental and well-known ambiguity, both.

As I was pondering the death of the first President I voted for, I was curious about the state of former Presidents who lived past their dates in office.
In the 51 years I have lived on this planet, there was one period of time where there was a total of zero former presidents of the US who were still living. In fact, the US went from two former living presidents to none in the space of 28 days prior to that.
Over 564 days, the only man who knew the pressure of being President was the then-current office holder. The streak ended when he stepped into the helicopter on the White House lawn and was whisked off to Yorba Linda, California as the first president to resign from office.
There is a distinct irony in the fact that there were no former presidents around during what could be argued as the worst preiod of time in the history of the office.
