Now those are really great neighbors to have!

Go Alex and John! I'm sure they're happy during their lifetime. :

The Habsburg family tree is a wreath

Guys, 1990 was 34 years ago, not 10. Let the reality sink in and cry!

English captain: "Oh, just wait a bit. Ammunition is definitely headed your way."

As always, Englishmen acting all posh and gentlemen on theory, but being a******s in practice. /s

At least, he was polite.

And perhaps some Grey Poupon.

It looks like Tordenskjold. Is it Tordenskjold? Peder Vessel? It does kinda sound like something he would do. Lol.

Moron!

My first laugh of the day.

. . . and then the real fighting began!

Did they share a rum later I wonder?

hahahahaha!

But he asked very politely, sending an envoy, and he only needed a loan!

he had BALLS

Was he trying to be funny?

English have no sense of fair-play!

Is this really a fact? It sounds like something Swedes would make up to call Norwegians stupid. The Norwegians probably have the same story with a Swedish captain.

You don't know until you ask. Also I think the English didn't take the fight seriously

Asking your enemy for more ammo to kill them with is a power move if I ever saw one

English bastards! lol

Ooooh, what if they'd said yes?!?

"I wouldn''t say liberated, more like under new management"

Well he sealed his own fate

Fortunately, the Armenian Genocide is being acknowledged by more and more countries. Having said that, there are still a lot of genocides that need recognition, for instance the Nanking genocide by the Japanese.

Diogenes had a great sense of humor. When Alexander approached him, and asked if he needed anything, Diogenes replied " Stand aside to stop blocking the sun. "

This is in fact in the Jewish bible, and the reason it worked is because he was being watched over by god.

There was this curious criminal case in Germany. Woman's DNA showed up in *many* crime scenes, in wholly different parts of the country and so close in time that she wouldn't be able to travel to all of these places. Everybody was deeply disturbed, including considering paranormal activities. It turned out that one series of DNA sampling kits was contaminated by a factory worker. If you want more info, google Phantom of Heilbronn.

And conservatives pretend racism has just magically disappeared and now it's just over sensitivity and paranoia

Took a lot of balls to do that.

Replace the tree with the driver

Dammit this one gets me every time

Martin Luther, if he was still alive in 1930, could have successfully sued a well known antisemitist - THE picturebook antisemitist - for plagiarism in his most successful book. But, as time heals all flaws, everything and their Grandma still is named after him.

''Independance'' in post colonial French Empire was quite a point of view. Search for ''Jacques Foccart'', you'll learn

Indonesian here. He was a serial womanizer with countless wives and lovers. He was once married to a Japanese woman, and then not long after he married another Japanese woman. Because of that, the first Japanese woman ki11ed herself in anger and sadness. Not proud of him. Because of other things too.

How dare you bring Arthur Morgan into this!!

Out of curiosity, what happens when you overdose vitamin A? And would you be okay eating i.e. 1/20 of the liver every day, or would the vitamin build up in your body?

Proof that being a nice person who is fun to work with, is one path to success.

It's like when people say that Hitler was vegan, cause that clearly cancels everything else out

Dude grew conscience in prison.

That's not the only horrible thing they did to the disabled, the mentally ill and the native swedes (samerna).

But nobody wants to work anymore!

Unit 731 was a horror show! 😔

War is hell, period.

And some morons want to go back to that period in History.

It's not the monkey you have to isolate but the cruel scientist.

Some say he earned the name because of his broad chest, but others say it was because of his broad forehead.

Why do you think the French invented perfume? They didn't bathe much.

Hi! I'm a non-basketball fan who has absolutely no idea who that is!! 👋🏻👋🏻

In the schools in Brittany at the time, there was a poster saying "It's forbidden to spit on the ground and to speak Breton"

Yup. The Showa Emperor was a war criminal indeed. His record was scrubbed.

Coco Chanel also was a nazi spy. She lived with an officer for Abwehr in the occupied Ritz Hotel, and used her contacts with british and french diplomats to pass information to the German Intelligence under the codename "Westminster". In exchange, she got a few friends freed from German prisons, and was promised ownership of a perfume factory taken from a jewish fragrance manufacturer.

Substitute 'Trump', 'USA', and 'January 6th' and it plays out the same.

They called it "Tuesday". And Wednesday". And "Thursday". And "Friday". And "Weekend".

So,how long?

For who's not a military history buff. The Texas, a m***o huge-a*s battleship, decided to join the landing and closed in to about 1.5 miles of the shore to pound the Germans with its 10 guns firing 500kg high explosive shells, happily shelling bunkers, artillery, tanks, infantry, sniper nests and nazis in the general vicinity. At some point, the close targets were all done for, and she decided to FLOOD HER STARBOARD SIDE to tilt the ship and get just slightly more elevation to f**k up some more nazi stuff that was outside her normal -but already impressive- 20 km firing range.
