They certainly where, lollipop,,,1965 to 1973 and thousands of our boys that left their lives in the rice paddies of a country that turned out not to be that important at the end,,,a meaningless war to go one up against the Soviet Union,,,too, too sad. Now,,we just remember our boys. May they rest in honor and in peace.

Florida laid down arms and came back into the Union but there never was a signing of surrender

On this day, 4 September 476, the Western Roman Empire fell. The end. Finito. The Germans took over and fucked everything up.
The Eastern Roman Empire, however, had already transformed itself into Byzantium, a Greek speaking world that lasted 1000 years until the Muslims took over and fucked everything up.

This is not to say that the Romans, eastern or western, hadn't fucked others up....

Well, some would say that thanks to the Ottoman empire the East met the West.After all, in Constantinople, or Istanbul now, all you have to do is cross the Bosphorus, and go from Europe to Asia

On this day, 4399 years ago, at 00:35:27, dinosaurs were created ex nihilo.

On this very same day, 4302 years ago, at 06:72:41, Noah's ark sailed without picking any dinosaurs because they were too big.

Thus, dinosaurs became extinct.

What's so funny? I learned this at 2800 Bullittsburg Church Rd, Petersburg, KY 41080. And it's true because Noah's ark and dinosaurs are there too. More than a third of the US population believe that this is true too. So it has to be true.

By #23212 at 13,Aug,17 02:05

Yes Leo, but did Noah actually take that 'arc' with him when he sailed on his ark?

By leopoldij at 13,Aug,17 03:36 other posts of leopoldij

Merci.

By #23212 at 13,Aug,17 04:10

OK, I will grant you mercy, but first please explain why the hell Noah brought those two damn mosquitoes.

By kebmo at 13,Aug,17 05:14 other posts of kebmo

It's a great thing that Noah didn't sail too far or else he would have sailed right off of the edge of the flat Earth.

By #23212 at 18,Aug,17 01:44

And why is that so "great"?

And the people who came up with this seriously believed that they had facts and 'science' on their side.

You're wrong in using past tense. About 30-40% of Americans do believe that. Present tense.

The vast majority of them are Christian fundamentalists. However, there are also Muslim fundamentalists (e.g. in Turkey) who believe that crap.

By #485312 at 20,Aug,17 22:28

yeah churches, all of them, are just brain wash central for the easily used and swayed, all have too much time on their hands if they can be preached this shit and not even research for themselves if any of it is right or not, maybe it should be compulsory for all religious nuts to be taken to museums on weekends instead of church so they can draw some new facts from whats in front of them *lix*

By leopoldij at 21,Aug,17 00:40 other posts of leopoldij

Come on, you know better: there is NO museum on earth, no science class would convince the religious fundamentalists. It doesn't matter what common sense and science says. They will remain backwards forever.

More than four in 10 Americans continue to believe that God created humans in their present form 10,000 years ago, a view that has changed little over the past three decades.

1886, Apache chief Geronimo surrenders to U.S. government troops. For 30 years, the mighty Native American warrior had battled to protect his tribe’s homeland; however, by 1886 the Apaches were exhausted and hopelessly outnumbered. General Nelson Miles accepted Geronimo’s surrender, making him the last Indian warrior to formally give in to U.S. forces and signaling the end of the Indian Wars in the Southwest.
