Origin of Zarses

[BigH]

I was leafing through a book about Charles Darwin the other day, and got to wondering if anyone has ever seen him and Andy together in the same room?

Well spotted H. I am a little concerned that the small child perched on his knee seems to be sporting a pearl necklace. What was the origin of that I shudder to ask

[Andy Zarse]

Zarse is a German/Prussian name, a shortened version of the medieval Nazarius, though it's hard to imagine any of the present day Zarses going around in riding boots and a monocle, slapping people in the face with a pair of kid gloves and shouting pigdog. I can only imagine the Zarses who served in the two world wars were a particularly cruel and cold hearted bunch.

Still, being a modern Zarse is a proud and honourable pass time these days, and there's a several famous and influential Zarses in the world of science; for example, the famous inventor of Vitamin Z, Rusty Zarse

and not forgetting the leading light of cutting-edge anaesthetics in Idaho, Dr Karl Zarse

H, I'm sorry but I reckon your theory is just a pipedream, and I'd wager any likeness to Chas Darwin is purely coincidental, though he was a Salopian like me, so who knows? What are his trousers made out of in the bottom photo? The woven shavings from yak's scrotums by the look of it. Who says dead men don't wear plaid?

Finally, talking of breezy anthropological discoveries, the story that scientists had discovered an extra 100,000 western lowland gorillas warmed my heart this week. Horrah! Monkey butlers for everyone!

Andy I have benn meaning to ask.
Who is your date in the avatar?

[Andy Zarse]

Why, it's only Pamela Anderson mate, and I'd no idea she was so tall! You might have seen her on Baywatch and other stuff on the tv. Anyway I met her at a beach party in Crawley, it was a bit of an odd affair run by a load of Gatwick cabin crew. I thought some of the drinks tasted a bit "rohypnolly" but I don't remember too much else about the night really.

It's funny you know, I've very little recollection of the whole night, all I can remember was waking up with a very sore arse. I keep getting strange flashbacks which appear in my mind like some sort of weird sixties Ken Russell arthouse film. Oh well...
