Today, only 16 pedestals (stone bases) of the statues survive. They are located one next to the other in front of the monumental entrance to the stadium, the Krypte. The reason they were placed in such a highly visible location was to dissuade other athletes from cheating. In ancient times, there were 16 bronze statues of Zeus on those pedestals but they do not survive today.

Later in 1971 a Soviet medical team secretly traveled to the crash site and exhumed the bodies, which were by then modestly decomposed. The team removed the heads of two of the corpses suspected to be Lin Biao and Ye Qun and took them back to Russia for forensic examination. In 1972 the team concluded that the heads belonged to Lin Biao and Ye Qun (the heads are still stored in Russian archives).

Broadcasters usually give something back from a tip via their "tip menus", which is usually a 2 column-table with the amount of tokens followed by a service like "anal play" or inserting a "buttplug".

I'm an alien.

Set in the late sixteenth century, the game follows nine warriors in a quest, each of whom has his or her own reasons for joining the quest but they all share a common goal: to obtain the legendary sword, called 'Soul Edge'. Sega's Golden Axe had employed a similar storyline and setting.

Classification

BFS is classified in the fourth revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) as a culture-bound syndrome.[1] Individuals with symptoms of brain fag must be differentiated from those with the syndrome according to the Brain Fag Syndrome Scale (BFSS);[1] Ola et al said it would not be "surpris[ing] if BFS was called an equivalent of either depression or anxiety".[1]

reminds me of

quote:

The sharp, angled texture makes ʻaʻā a strong radar reflector, and can easily be seen from an orbiting satellite (bright on Magellan pictures).[14]

ʻAʻā lavas typically erupt at temperatures of 1,000 to 1,100 °C (1,830 to 2,010 °F).

The word is also spelled aa, aʻa, ʻaʻa, and a-aa, and pronounced /ˈɑː(ʔ)ɑː/. It originates from Hawaiian where it is pronounced [ʔəˈʔaː],[15] meaning "stony rough lava", but also to "burn" or "blaze".

The footage of Adolf Hitler is taken from Leni Riefenstahl's film Triumph of the Will. The section (about 34 minutes into the film) where Konstantin Hierl presents the Reich Labor Corps to Hitler is the source of the speech used for the joke. The first clip shows Hitler saying Insbesondere keiner mehr in Deutschland leben wird... ("In particular, no one will live in Germany anymore [without working for their country]"), subtitled "My dog has no nose". In the film, the camera cuts briefly away from Hitler; the punchline of the joke is the next shot that shows Hitler's face: "Awful". The original words are eure Schule, from "[The whole nation will go through] your school". "How does he smell?" is from a scene just before Hitler's speech; the original German is Wir sind des Reiches junge Mannschaft!, "We are the Reich's young men!"[3]

GameSpy suggests that Blinx was proposed as a possible mascot for the Xbox system,[3] rivaling Nintendo's Mario and Link, Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog, Capcom's Mega Man and Ryu, Namco's Pac-Man, Konami's Frogger, Ubisoft's Rayman, Sony's Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon (which later both became properties of Activision), Eidos's Lara Croft, Squaresoft's Cid and Cloud (though Square would merge with Enix by 2003), and Rare's Banjo Kazooie (which would later be purchased by Microsoft), and since the main character of Halo: Combat Evolved (Master Chief) was considered too violent (and also lacking in identity behind a visor), and the officials wanted a "friendly furry face" to lead the sales among the younger clientele.

Unfortunately, when the movie was released on VCR/DVD, the ending song, "Carry on my Wayward Son" by Kansas was replaced by an instrumental song, which many say ruined the movie as the original song was the high point of the movie. To this day many fans refuse to purchase the DVD because of this edit.
