Reminder that beloved psychic Sylvia Brown told Amanda Berry's mom "I'm sorry but your daughter is dead" on the Montel Williams Show. She was found alive, kidnapped for 10 years. Amanda Berry's mom died a couple years before her daughter was found, so she went to her grave thinking her daughter was dead because Montel Williams needed the good ratings that Sylvia Brown brought.  I'm glad Montel Williams is forced to hawk payday loans or whatever the gently caress he's doing now.

This bisexual opera singer/duelist was a person who actually existed. She was awesome. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_d%27Aubigny Wiki posted:Her Paris career was interrupted around 1695, when she kissed a young woman at a society ball and was challenged to duels by three different noblemen. She beat them all, but fell afoul of the king's law that forbade duels in Paris. She fled to Brussels to wait for calmer times. There, she was briefly the mistress of Maximilian II Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria. Pvt.Scott has a new favorite as of 01:07 on Sep 7, 2016 |

Hadaka Apron posted:The most lopsided college football game of all time: now that's remarkable. my diatribe was actually two "things that happened" at the same time: 1. the first time a ball was thrown through a hoop (unknown date) and 2. the emergence of team sports and the cultlike following they have had throughout history: quote:There were initially four major factional teams of chariot racing, differentiated by the colour of the uniform in which they competed; the colours were also worn by their supporters. These were the Blues, the Reds, the Greens, and the Whites, although by the Byzantine era the only teams with any influence were the Blues and Greens. Emperor Justinian I was a supporter of the Blues. quote:From the start, the crowd had been hurling insults at Justinian. By the end of the day, at race 22, the partisan chants had changed from "Blue" or "Green" to a unified Nίκα ("Nika", meaning "Win!!" or "Conquer!"), and the crowds broke out and began to assault the palace. quote:Justinian, in despair, considered fleeing, but his wife Theodora is said to have dissuaded him, saying, "Those who have worn the crown should never survive its loss." Justinian rallied himself. About thirty thousand rioters were reportedly killed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nika_riots dookifex_maximus has a new favorite as of 03:12 on Sep 7, 2016 |

His opponent was tired from two previous duels, number three had plenty of time to study her technique, twice, and he still failed. Sore losers narced on her, too. Bad form all around.

Jose posted:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nestl%C3%A9_boycott As for the CEO who doesn't think water should be a human right, Bill Burr had a hilarious rant about him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_pb6r8VNWk "He should be hunted down and shot!" (I'm sure there's people calling Bill Burr a violence-inciting socialist for this one). Even funnier is Nestle's website addressing the controversy. They claim that wasn't what he meant, and he meant the opposite! That it isn't fair that other countries don't get water! Except they selectively chopped up the important parts. LOL at a company trying to defend this: Nestle's current CEO posted:"It’s a question of whether we should privatize the normal water supply for the population. And there are two different opinions on the matter. The one opinion, which I think is extreme, is represented by the NGOs, who bang on about declaring water a public right. That means that as a human being you should have a right to water. That’s an extreme solution. The other view says that water is a foodstuff like any other, and like any other foodstuff it should have a market value." He added, "Personally, I believe it's better to give a foodstuff a value so that we're all aware it has its price, and then that one should take specific measures for the part of the population that has no access to this water." Boy Nestle, our face sure is red and we totally read that the wrong way!

Today we dont take sports serious enough imho. quote:When the Aztecs started a new settlement, there were two things they would do. First, build a shrine to the god Huitzilopochtli, and then build a ball court next to it. In Tenochtitlan it was surrounded by the palace and temple. The Aztec ball game, known as ullamaliztli, was a priority. quote:With city-states and tribes playing against one another, it's not surprising that the Aztec ball game took on political significance. A win or a loss was very much taken to heart. At times, the game would turn into an excuse for an assassination or attack. The game might also be used to settle differences between two parties. quote:The Aztec ball game had a lot of ritual significance. It was mean to mirror the ball court of the heavens, this being the ball court of the underworld where the sun passed each night. The game represented the battle between day and night, and so was also related to the human blood sacrifices that were intended to keep the sun moving in the sky.

When the girl's parents put her away in the Visitandines convent in Avignon, Maupin followed, entering the convent as a postulant. In order to run away with her new love, she stole the body of a dead nun, placed it in the bed of her lover, and set the room on fire to cover their escape.

Pvt.Scott posted:
It's even more hosed than that, at the time IBM computers ran off punch cards. Each piece of data required a punch card that was purchased from IBM. Those cards were used to track Holocaust victims and were tied to the numbers that were tattooed on their wrists. So you could say that IBM facilitated and profited from each individual victim. But during the same war IBM's USA division made computers for the Allied effort and even made M1 carbines. After the war they did reunite with their german division and get the money that was made inside Germany so you could argue the USA company did profit from the Holocaust. If you look hard enough you can find all kinds of messed up poo poo. For example Bayer built labs using concentration camp slave labor and then tested drugs on the camp prisoners.
