Moderator Tommy Posted March 22, 2022 Moderator Share Posted March 22, 2022 I just thought about how a Scientist in German is called Wissenschaftler, which comes from Wissen schaffen, which literally means to create knowledge. Pretty cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty cool. Interesting interpretion: Always thought Wissenschaft had as much to do with "Wissen schaffen" as Landschaft, Priesterschaft and Mannschaft with "Land schaffen"", "Priester schaffen", and "Männer schaffen" respectively. In this case - schaft wouldn't come from schaffen, but were the German equivalent to the English suffix "ship" , which would mean Wissenschaft were literally "knowledgeship" and a Wissenschaftler were someone committing to knowledgeship.

Guest Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 There was once a study done into a zombie apocalypse. Now this hasn't been peer reviewed or anything so it might not be accurate but its probably the most accurate we have. A study actually determined that it is likely that even a slow moving zombie apocalypse would probably end society. Now until covid happens this seemed abit odd to me. However when you look at how people reacted to covid it becomes abit more understandable. Basically although we would only have to shoot them in the head, the absolute chaos would destroy society. So even a slow moving zombie outbreak woild probably end society and it would be like the walking dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After approvals, the archaeologists excavated two of the Easter Island heads to reveal their torso and truncated waist. The heads had been covered by successive mass transport deposits on the island that buried the statue's lower half. These events enveloped the statues and gradually buried them to their heads as the islands naturally weathered and eroded through the centuries. https://www.forbes.com/sites/trevornace/2017/07/26/famous-easter-island-heads-have-hidden-bodies/?sh=2bc3113f8041 Edited March 24, 2022 by CaaC (John) Spacing correction 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azeem Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 The Status Quo is the name given to an agreement between six Christian denominations in Bethlehem and Jerusalem over shared control of religious sites and any changes made to them drafted in 1757. There is one ladder on a Church which hasn't moved since that time bcz all six parties must agree to do anything which rarely happens, many of these sites need repairing but no consensus is reached how to do it.

Bluewolf Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Paparazzi photographer Ron Galella wore a football helmet around actor Marlon Brando, after Brando once punched him, broke his jaw, and knocked out five teeth for constantly photographing him in 1973. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluewolf Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 In 1973, Marlon Brando rejected his Oscar for The Godfather to allow Sacheen Littlefeather to protest Hollywood’s portrayal of Native Americans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved it. It was not only about the portrayal of Native Americans in movies, but also to draw attention to the Wounded Knee standoff, which was under media blackout so the general public wasn't too aware of what was going on there. It's interesting to see what attitudes were had by people in the movie industry back then. Marlon Brando was an activist in the American Indian Movement for years. Roger Moore, who was supposed to present the award, helped her get off the stage and make it to the press area safely to share Brando's 15 page manifest. Meanwhile, John Wayne had to be constrained by six security guards to keep him from assaulting her, and Clint Eastwood mocked her in his speech afterwards. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlon Brando refused the Oscar for best actor, instead sending indigenous American rights activist Sacheen Littlefeather, to state Brando's reasons, which were based on his objection to the depiction of indigenous Americans by Hollywood and television - 9GAG 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azeem Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) The initial proposal for the fifth permanent member of the UN security council was Brazil but France was added because they wanted a silent member who doesn't really get along with any of the four members to keep balance between US/UK and Russia/China blocs.
