the whole lengthy article is also a treat

quote:

Judo throws and similar are unlikely to work underwater.[citation needed]

quote:

Sending other frogmen against them
It would seem that a simple way of countering unknown frogmen or other divers would be for a police force or navy personnel to send their own frogmen to investigate. This is sometimes called counter-offensive frogmen.
...
Objections to the likelihood of this tactic are:

-It may result in an underwater knife fight, risky to both sides.

quote:

Trained animals, as weapons
A reported anti-frogman guard is (or was) dolphins trained to carry on the nose a device which injects a large amount of compressed carbon dioxide into the frogman. This would likely be lethal due to blood embolism. It is said that they were trained at Point Mugu. It was said that this device was abandoned because of fears that wild dolphins might imitate and start harassing ordinary divers. Today the mammals are primarily trained to force the diver to the surface using pushing techniques in the assumption that the majority of incursions can be addressed in this manner.[citation needed]
...
Animals, unlike ROVs etc., need to be fed and kept in training whether they are needed at work or not, and cannot be laid aside in a storeroom until needed.[citation needed]

In a remote part of the forest behind Frankenstein Castle on 417 meter high Mount Ilbes, compasses do not work properly due to magnetic stone formations of natural origin. Local nature enthusiasts and witchcraft practitioners are said[who?] to perform rituals at these magnetic places on special occasions like Walpurgis Night or summer solstice.[13] The magnetic stones can be visited by everyone, but it is advisable[who?] not to disturb ongoing ritual activities at any means. Legend has it[who?] that Mount Ilbes is the second most important meeting place for witches in Germany after Mount Brocken in the Harz.

The song is notable for its seemingly basic chord progression which repeats through the verse and chorus of I, IV, V, IV. Many fans relate the progression to other popular rock songs such as "Wild Thing" performed by The Troggs. However, the song does experience a key change modulation for the guitar solo after the second chorus, modulating from the key of F# Major to A Major, and thus following the same I, IV, V, IV progression. Also, the main guitar lead played over the chords of the intro and the outro contains a raised second pitch which resolves to the third. This accidental within the key gives the song an off-note and perceivably quirky feel to it.

no, it's pretty worthless

translation: "wild thing uses the same chords as every other rock song, but the key changes in the last verse like every other rock song, and in a couple of places it plays a slightly different chord for emphasis like every other rock song"

the solo is the same chord progression as the rest of it but a minor third higher

the intro and outro guitar line has a bit that goes from the minor third to major third, which is a thing you hear all the time in ragtime or any country music with a slide guitar (and many other places) . play the notes C Eb E, that's the bit they're talking about

WE ARE SMART
In October 2012, a Dutch World War II memorial called Verzoening ("Reconciliation") was revealed on which the names of Jewish, Allied and German military deaths alike were written alongside each other in Comic Sans. The names were eventually scraped off after complaints from Jewish organizations, but the rewritten message was once again in Comic Sans. According to the city government, this was done because the letters fit the shape of the stone and were easily visible from a distance. It was, however, criticized for making the memorial look "ugly" and "cheap".[34]
