Isn't our "D" the only one with 9000 points? Doesn't that make every record that is 9000 points and <insert literally anything here> also belong to Diana? |

Right: first one to 9000 points who also stops at red lights, etc. Her eventual records will likely be broken, but she's the Babe Ruth of the WNBA. She really made it a reality, and it's unfortunate that some UConn bashers thought she was undeserving of a place on this year's Olympic team. |

David will know. WNBA career scoring leaders: 1. Diana Taurasi - 9,104 points2. Tina Thompson - 7,488 points 3. Tamika Catchings - 7,380 points 4. Candice Dupree - 6,853 points 5. Cappie Pondexter - 6,811 points 6. Sue Bird - 6,518 points 7. Tina Charles - 6,516 points Note - Three UConn players are still active, totals will go up...  Dupree is still playing as well.... Note 2 -Maya Moore is #23 - 4,984 points Note 3 - I think Taurasi's record will never be broken. First, she is still adding to it. Second, no one still playing is even close. THird, scoring averages are more watered down in today's WNBA... |

You're just jealous because you don't have that famous Tennessee Habsburg Chin...........................  |

Charles II of Spain, the last ruler in the Habsburg family line. Note the prominent jaw. Credit: Wikimedia Commons. The Habsburgs were once the most powerful family in the world, ruling over countries such as the Holy Roman Empire, England, France, Germany, Russia, Poland, Hungary, Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands. Their lineage lasted for 700 years. In order to secure its influence, the family relied on generations of intermarriage, but this lack of genetic diversity eventually ended up being their downfall. Now, a new study has confirmed that facial deformities in Habsburg bloodline, colloquially known as the “Habsburg jaw”, can be traced to inbreeding. www.zmescience.com/science/scientists-confirm-habsburg-jaw-is-the-result-of-royal-inbreeding/ |

Stopping at red lights is a curious choice. she probably does, but if I had to pick someone who might slide through without a complete stop...

Thanks for throwing light on the Hapsburg jaw reference in prior post. |

"His Habsburg jaw stood so much out that his two rows of teeth could not meet; he was unable to chew. His tongue was so large that he was barely able to speak. His intellect was similarly disabled. His brief life consisted chiefly of a passage from prolonged infancy to premature senility."  |

They are still around:
The house of Habsburg still exists and owns the Austrian branch of the Order of the Golden Fleece and the Imperial and Royal Order of Saint George. As of early 2021, the head of the family is Karl von Habsburg.
It is illegal in Austria for the family to use its titles.

Serious question - do they still confer the orders that they hold/own? |

Above my pay grade, but something to jaw about...
I know a lot about the Order of the Golden Fleece but only in the late Middle Ages, when it was a BFD.

Lately it's been 'managed' by a conspiracy of Wall Street dunces and the unreserved Federal Reserve............. |
