Funny story but the guy who shot Franz Ferdinand tried to kill himself twice after he did it. He failed spectaculary. The cyanide he ate was expired so it only gave him a stomach ache and he also jumped down a creek, but the creek was shallow so he only broke a few bones. The whole situation was really goofy and when you read about it, it sounds like a looney toons cartoon
Don't forget the one who actually succeeded assumed the assassination was off after the spectacular failure of the first guy and 3 of the others fleeing so he just hung around a sandwich shop and the Archduke's driver/guard happened to have to stop and push the car right out in front of the same sandwich shop
This is by far the most important comment. Dragons for $500 was actually Wyvern. Drakes ambiguously refer to dragons, and have been used in the context you refer to only in modern fantasy (to my knowledge). Wyvern, however, always refers to a two-legged dragon.
To clarify for anyone who may try to “correct” this comment: Drake and dragon have historically meant the same thing only gaining different meanings recently. A dragon can have any number of legs while a wyvern can only have two legs and it has been like that for hundreds of years.
I would like to say that in general context, the difference between a dragon and drake is ill defined, just like the difference between a sorcerer and wizard, In magic the gathering, yes, a drake is like a dragon with 4 limbs (2 "legs" and 2 wings, while a real dragon has 4 legs and 2 wings) however Tolkien for instance used the terms dragon and drake interchangeably in the Hobbit to describe Smaug.
Also western medieval culture differs from both of those. Wyvern actually predates dragon in British heraldry, and once both were common Wyvern was specifically 2 legs 2 wings while Dragon was 4 leg 2 wings. Drake however generally is used synonymous for dragon. Though I've seen some not well references charts differentiate a Drake as being a wingless dragon.
@@alvinip9128 So The other commentor persumably knows best: in western medieval culture, Wyverns are 2 legs, 2 wings, Drakes are wingless OR are synonymous with dragon, and Dragons are the whole deal. however they are often used in fantasy properties, and these might be less accurate. Tolkien (in the hobbit) uses drake and dragon to describe Smaug (the dragon/drake) Magic the Gathering uses dragon for 4 legs 2 wings, and drake for 2 legs 2 wings I guess there is no true set standerd, and its up for interpretation
I’m sure someone else said this but the guy who shot Franz Ferdinand, Gavrilo Princip, did not die that day. He actually felt really bad about killing his wife and profusely apologized. One of my favorite historical people. He’s simultaneously super important and not at all.
The archduke ferdinan question brings up vivid memories of my middle school history teacher using call and response to get us to learn vocabulary and such but the only one that stuck with me was whenever he mentioned Archduke Ferdinan the class had to interrupt with “and his lovely wife, Sophie” and that’s one of two entire things I retained from middle school (the other was an old documentary on a local overdue mountain that had to slogan “if you don’t run, you die”).
I've been having a bad day... and I don't know why... but, I guess I was kind of trying not to laugh at the video. To keep my composure. To keep some control over my life. I was doing an incredible job. This was easy, I thought to myself as I took a sip of ice cold water. Then he hesitated a second and said, "Yes! Five Headed Dragon," as if he expected the answer to be wrong, and I spit water out my nose, all over my desk and keyboard, while busting out laughing. Thank you. Keep up the content man.
Just want to say, this is the first video of yours I saw, and Im soo happy for your growth. You definitely found a Niche and its working so well for you. I hope your 2024 is great and you continue to provide me with continued great free entertainment.
i have no buissness watching these but I enjoy this I have no idea about mtg I was a pokemon fan since the early 2000s but I'm glad this makes me happy have a great day guys
I’m not subbing because I drink water, that’s of course the joke. I’m subbing because I was drinking water as you said it and I felt very puzzled for a second and laughed which caused be to cough up some water. Well played, thanks for the laugh!
As a dragon nerd $500 makes me very upset At least it's better than people saying "wyverns aren't dragons" And before anyone says anything, here's my view point: It's a wyvern. It does not ask what it's from, just asks what type or dragon it is so any other information like "oh wyverns are called Drakes in mtg" is irrelevant
Thing is, there is an ambiguity whether or not dragons only have 4 legs and wings instead of also being able to have 2 legs and only 2 wings. Its weird, but that's how it is
*uhm actually* (inthe best annoying voice I can) drakes have no wings, wyverns have 2 legs and use their wings to walk as forelimbs and dragons have 4 legs and wings on the back
The answer for the 'Dragons $500'-questions was actually 'Wyvern'. A wyvern has 2 wings and 2 legs (like the picture shown). A drake has no wings and 4 legs.
Dragons are essentially all dragons but have different subspecies based on whoever so makes up the lore in their own universe. So much like a wolf is a canine a dalmation is also a canine, but clearly they aren't the same overall, they share similarities. Dragons, Drakes, Wyverns, Ampitheres, Lindwyrms, ect, are all Dragons. But Dragon just so happens to also be the 4 legged 2 winged variety. So both the Dragon (4 wings 2 legs) and "Dragon" (as a whole category) just use the same word. Dragon. All other dragons are just kinda made up for your own lore purposes. The dragon art circle I run around in classifies them this way. Dragon: 4 legs 2 wings Wyvern: 2 legs 2 wings Drakes: 4 legs 0 wings Ampitheres: 0 legs 2 wings But as I said feel free to name them as you see fit for your lore. Most commonly among dragon lovers though Wyverns are 2 wings and 2 legs. And for some reason alot of the most popular fantasy IPs use anything but wyvern. Which is interesting, kinda odd they'll use any other name besides wyvern cause I'm pretty sure via human history most 2 winged 2 legged depictions were called Wyverns and were considered different from a Dragon (4 legs 2 wings), but interesting nonetheless. This piece of history is most likely why a chunk of people argue over Dragon vs Wyvern.
He said that the dragon in dragons for $500 was a drake, but drakes have 4 legs and no wings, so it was a Wyvern, because wyverns have 2 legs and 2 wings, so he was completely wrong with that one
Jace only weights 160? I'm 320 at 6'3, I could break him in half! You know, minus his super powers. Also, this was fun. I'm glad everyone had a good time!
so are you fat or buff? because im pretty sure you have to be one or the other, as you should be somewhere in 200s, as for jace his weights perfectly normal for his height, he probably weigh more if he was buff but hes a wizard so meh.
@@damackabet.4611bro why you gonna reply to this 3 months after with that kind of reply? And edit it??? You trippin on the dum dum juice like crazy dawg, if you ain’t got something constructive to say, let the person be and put their comment out without getting attacked, GD 😭
Yes, saying that it was a drake and not a wyvern was fine. No matter how invested people are into dragon mythology, as I have also loved them my whole life, one of the best parts of the concept of ‘dragons’ is that they only follow the rules of their setting. A dragon that can control the oceans may be a water dragon, a storm dragon, a normal dragon, a god in the form of a dragon, etc. depending on where you look. Dragons are different in every single source, so boiling it down to ‘this is correct/incorrect based on this other definition of the word from specifically European mythology’ doesn’t help since it’s not in the setting. It was an MTG image in a majority-MTG jeopardy game and so the MTG rules for dragon types apply. Other sources contradict each other and consider drakes to have wings as part of their arms, lesser intelligence, no wings or to be an exact synonym for dragon, while some wyvern rules contradict or overlap with these. But MTG doesn’t consider it as such and the question is asking with a picture of an MTG dragon. If I hosted a HTTYD trivia show, I wouldn’t ask ‘what kind of dragon is this?’ with a picture of Toothless and give marks for ‘a western dragon’. It’s technically correct but it’s not the setting’s name for it. Whatever form they take, wyvern, drake, wyrm, western dragons, eastern dragons, elemental dragons, metal dragons, colour dragons, sea dragons, dragons are cool. Their only limitation is their setting and/or the imagination. Wrongness and rightness for them are dictated by the context, host and original creators.
Well Depending on the media Dragon is 4 legs 2 or more wings Drake is 4 legs No wings Wyvern are 2 legs 2 or more wings And wyrms are 0 legs 0 or more wings ( snake dragons) So technically his answer was correct
Two legs and two wing-arms is a typically either a flying wyvern or pseudo wyvern. Two legs and 2 regular wings is typically a bird wyvern. No true wings and 4 legs is typically a fanged wyvern. 2 wings and 4 legs are mostly (elder) dragons. There are also brute wyverns, having two large legs, no wings, and often two small forelimbs. Picine wyverns often feature two strong legs, a flat back, and fin-like arms. Less commonly there are also snake wyverns, featuring long narrow and flexible bodies and usually two pairs of limbs. Similar are leviathans, with a similar body type to snake wyverns with the addition of being partially or wholly aquatic and using their legs as primary locomotion on land rather than slithering. (Wing) drakes are small monsters, typically with two large wings, two short legs, and a long tail and are not a part of the wyvern family.
Drakes dont have wings wyvern was correct so unless mtg has different rules to dragons than dnd and most fantasy universes(not the elder scrolls because there are no dragons in skyrim just wyverns)
