Don't I know everything? I learned a few bits of the language with my first boyfriend, a bodyguard with King Hussein. I sure love men and what they have to offer.

Corey Taylor, Italy acquired Libya as a colony from the Ottoman Empire in 1911. the Allies occupied it in 1943, but gave it back to Italy after WW2. Libya became an independent kingdom in 1951.
