  1. Blue during the World Cup is fun to have around.
  2. Despite common media portrayal the Vikings never had horns in their helmets.
  3. Omar Mukhtar, the Libyan commander of anti-colonial forces against Italian occupation. Once his army captured two Italian soldiers he stopped his men from torturing them, his men said but they do it to ours to which he said ' They are not our teachers '. Viewed positively by historians for his discipline armed conduct the movie about his life Lion of the Desert was banned in Italy until 2009 by then PM bcz it ' damaged the army's honor '.
  4. Cinematic trailers are always a bit of red herring.

    This is the fifth or sixth time Pakistan India are playing each other in their opening match of a tournament, totally fixed draws. ICC learned their lesson when both of them went out in the group stages of 2007 WC - huge lose of revenue.
  6. What was the reaction back in Germany when German team played that draw against Austria to get Algeria out ? I've heard one German player said I'll score one goal for my girlfriend one for my dog before match against Algeria lol
  7. 85% of Greek mythology involves Zeus poking with a woman alone mind her own business.
  8. The military industry complex needed new theatres after wars in the 'Muslamic' world were becoming too dodgy to sell to the public. So they've turned to this region which had fault lines to exploit and considering both parties have a war chest to spend on it will be very profitable for the contractors.
  9. Emotional tears have more protein concentration than irritant tears which makes them run down on cheeks more slowly.
  10. No official confirmation but the situation will become bleaker if true, attacking Russia back within its own territory - all out war.

    Rahul Dravid a common shout. There are other claims about Tendulkar that he wasn't a match winning player, a lot of his tons weren't fruitful for the team similar claims about Pele's goal scoring records.

    My analogies between cricketers and football players Chris Gayle = Ibrahimovic - journeyman, entertainer, extremely talented, attitude but with a sense of humor Tendulkar = Pele - greatest name in his country and for many in the sport but some think others in his team were better Warne = Maradona - GOAT, most inspiring, similar lifestyle, died young Lara = Iniesta - elegant, respected by all Inzamam = Peter Cech - overshadowed by giants who were better than him but doesn't negate how much great he was for his own team Kohli = C Ronaldo - superstar, arrogant, easy to hate but good guy in the heart, going through a rough patch Warner = Benzema - not a fan favorite and even looks like a snitch but a consistent performer Afridi = Ramos - huge personality no matter what you may think of him Kevin Peterson = Beckham - slightly overrated media darling

  14. Arabian peninsula is rife with dormant and extinct volcanoes. The last major eruption was in 1256 which created a river of lava longer than 23km. How fascinating it was all once green and filled with rivers and then maybe volcanic eruptions turned it into a desert.
  15. If they would invade Russia back then it would be a formal declaration of war.
  16. Doing stand up comedy in front of a German audience. P.S Berlin Conference was the meeting where Africa was carved into mainly straight lines borders
  17. Irish-English poet WB Yeats was so in love with an Irish woman he proposed him three times and was rejected every time. He even then proposed to marry her daughter in desperation. Simp
  18. Russia is now striking Ukrainian energy grid in response to the counter offensive, entertaining into the next phase of the escalation.
