this is pretty dress, and one with a story

Our world was built from the back of the horse. They are one of the most important creatures who ever lived.

That is one stunning mosaic! Those colours!

way ahead of her time

You still get that in finland

That is an unimaginable long time, yet such a tiny fraction of how long life exists on earth...

It's okay, geometry makes me unhappy too.

That might be because in the 1930s, people were still catching tuberculosis from cow's milk. Sick cows can transmit the bacteria through non-pasteurized milk, so if the hospital had its own herd then they could make sure all the beasts were healthy and not infecting the patients.

In the prehistoric times, the customer service complaint was a wooden club...

And I want it so bad! That bag is gorgeous!

100 years later - armed insurrection.

What an amazing detail!

The president and the prime minister of many states are not allowed to share the same aircraft. And, during the war, the medics weren't allowed to share the same foxhole.

I mean... As far as prison cells go, that surely isn't that bad, right? lol

Fast forward 82 years later and people moan about having to wear a cloth/paper mask on planes.

Dwight is my relation and I can tell you this was 100% true. :)

Al Ula in Saudi Arabia

What a bore-ing job

They build very few structures today that would last even half as long.

This makes me happy :)

Ahahahahaha very grown-up, guys, keep it goin'

I love that font for the Metro.

SOMEONE TELL ME THE STORY BEHIND THIS!!!

And it took a long time to re-discover the need of taking vitamin rich food on sea travels

Cousins are nice, but when a little horde of bloodthirsty bolcheviks want tu slaughter your family, they are not here to help you.

...and then they replaced the cocaine with something more potent and addictive - refined white sugar.

He was German before Germans even exist

And nearly 70 years later he's still waiting for her to step down.

She obviously regrets nothing! Love the smirk!

Combines the pleasure of horseriding with the anxiety of being accidentally blinded by your mount

It's beautiful there. I visit it once in a while with my kids.

why ? disgusted by nature ?

well, that's basically only time of home i could afford, so they weren't that wrong

I thought he said redcoats; though regulars make more sense, red was a popular color for coats

A tendency to decapitate the pilot. How many people had to die before they concluded it was a design/idea fault and not just bad luck on the part of the pilot?

Most english words have origins in other germanic or lating languages.

Bob Picasso is a fine name for a dog.

Capuchin monkeys are also named after the monks.

I love these heart-shaped books.

Looks like a golden snitch!

The power of the arch!

Fun fact: when Titanic sank, the White Star Company refused to pay officers and crew members for services provided during the sinking. And the family of one of the band members who died actually was charged for the loss of his uniform.

In France they call it the "iron harvest". About 900 tons of unexploded ordnance is recovered every year. If you drive around the battlefields it is perfectly common to see a handful of old hand grenades or mortar rounds sitting on the verge at a farmers' gate, waiting for the bomb disposal people to come on their latest run to pick them up.

i would love to try, sounds much more fun

And it's played even now, by some tribes in the Amazon jungle, with poisonous darts...

What if u accidentally suck in

But a "tendency" to swallow darts was noted, so they changed the rules because people were starting to find the game not so funny.

Fun for the whole family!

Yuck! How many people put their mouths on that blower!?

Sounds right for kids - sharp objects and spit.

Until some sucked.

I find this fact suspect, although I have no solid reason to argue against it. It just seems more natural that it would have come out of some other target based game. I'm imagining the late middle ages when every village had a supply of straw targets and crossbow bolts on hand.
