Ah yes, the myth of Franz Ferdinand's car stalling. It was actually far, far worse. The car had to be stopped and restarted with the engine rotating the other way to go backwards. So while the driver was doing all of those Bronze Era shenanigans of early cars.... well, Princip had quite a lot of time to do what he wanted. He actually had more time than you'd think when you consider that the driver would have had to either risk a second restart to be able to see where he was going, or..... just continue driving backwards. Two very, very bad options.

Many know about the Berlin Wall, but what some may not know about is how trains were handled during the division of Berlin. Ending freedom of movement didn't just mean building the wall, it also meant making changes to the U-Bahn and S-Bahn. There were three lines, the U-Bahn lines now designated U6 and U8, and the Nord-Süd Tunnel on the S-Bahn, that ran for the most part through West Berlin but passed for a short distance through the borough of Mitte (the historic city canter), which was East Berlin territory. These lines continued to be open to West Berliners, but they did not stop at East Berlin stations, though they still had to slow down and these stations were heavily guarded. Thus, these became ghost stations Trains on the U8 line had six stations in East Berlin before crossing from one part of West Berlin to the other. The U6 had to skip five stations as well as the S-Bahn having to skip four. Friedrichstraße on the other hand was an exception as it was a transfer point between U6 and S-Bahn lines. Wollankstraße as well because it had a West Berlin exit right on the border.

It was. WW1 was doomed to happen, and Austria-Hungary had been waiting for an excuse to go to war with Serbia for quite some time. The causes for WW1 were set decades in advance, and the fogs of war only a couple of years (look at the Baltic Wars). The sad reality is that we are likely sowing the very same seeds now that will cause WW3. As much as politicians love to tout the glories of WW2, the next world war will be far more akin to WW1 than WW2.

Some disappeared beneath the Earth but others sailed across the Atlantic to a land of the young, where people live for ever and where there was plenty for all. And the name of this mythical land- Hy-Brazil.

Tortoises can't swim, as they are land-based. So that second "tortoise" is a sea turtle. Nothing bizarre about me. Chance revolves around me because I am simply built different. Now here is some turnip lore: The turnip or white turnip (Brassica rapa subsp. rapa) is a root vegetable commonly grown in temperate climates worldwide for its white, fleshy taproot. The word turnip is a compound of turn as in turned/rounded on a lathe and neep, derived from Latin napus, the word for the plant. Small, tender varieties are grown for human consumption, while larger varieties are grown as feed for livestock Wild forms of the turnip and its relatives, the mustards and radishes, are found over western Asia and Europe. Starting as early as 2000 BC, related oilseed subspecies of Brassica rapa like oleifera may have been domesticated several times from the Mediterranean to India, though these are not the same turnips cultivated for its roots. Edible turnips were possibly first cultivated in northern Europe, and were an important food in the Hellenistic and Roman world. The turnip eventually spread east to China, and reached Japan by 700 AD

In the event that you hand is seriously injured and starts to swell they would normally have to cut off your ring in order to save your finger. Though if they can't cut the ring off they may resort to cutting your finger off then reattaching it.

@@aceundead4750 I'm not so sure...AS, generally, A tortoise's environment is restricted to land and TENDS to be in much more sandy, arid environments (though, is NOT absolute, as with the Gopher tortoise, found in Florida, and some Galapagos tortoises, what with those few still existing in the wild call the well you know, as their home) and turtles do exist comfortably both near and completely in the water, also both simultaneously, such as, with the very common pet trade turtle the red-eared slider, however some species are also, happily at home not being near a body containing water, as, surely, some Box turtles must, occasionally, during their lifetimes. In short..all tortoise species, are in fact turtles, but, not all turtles're by any means tortoises...LmMFaO! :o) But in some sense you're also right, as tortoises have much more elephantine armor-plated legs, flat feet that contain unwebbed toes, made for both carrying loads, and trekkin' upon terrestrial land; whereas most turtle species developed paddle-shaped legs, and feet, that have webbed-toes, and longer, claw-like nails for traction. However...the biggest of all their differences is in their shells! Turtle shells are streamlined more so they can swim easier with much less drag and an aversion to muck snagging on them and tortoises have much more domed shells, shaped in ways much more condusive in that of land-faring species! [BONUS] Some fun maybe lesser-known turtle facts lol: • Some turtles such as red-bellied turtles "share" crocodilians nests for protection; as many as 200 of their eggs have found their way into a single alligator nest. • Twist-necked turtles're the only, known, species to have triploid chromosomes in some populations. • Survival rates of some of the species of saltwater or marine turtle may be as low as 1 in 50,000. • Some sea and freshwater turtles within days of each other, come together, in the mass-nesting events, evolving to swamp the local predators, and, mass-predation, known as: arribadas. Wherein, most of a single population comes to nest within a 2-3 day period on the same beach; some such as in Orissa, India...have numbered more than 100k turtles nestin' each year. • Ganges softshell turtles, are, important scavengers, helping to lower pollution by consuming any, partially-cremated, body parts of human corpses, thrown, into the river in traditional funeral rites. • Nile softshell turtles, they absorb much of the oxygen that's needed by a process known as pharyngeal respiration, and/or, by filtration through their skin. • The carapace scutes, from some of the marine turtle species, have been used in making combs and hair ornaments. • Wood turtles -- are one of the few North American turtles in the family Emydidae to have GSD (genetic sex determination); most others, have TSD (temperature sex determination). • Diamond-back terrapins, are known the only turtle to specialize living in brackish water marshes. • In spring the Painted turtle can be seen swimmin' under the ice, and mating in or amongst the iceflows. • Painted terrapins are exploited for their eggs, fetching five times the price as the average chicken egg. Also due to habitat destruction, only one or two rivers harbor more than a hundred nesting females. • The River terrapin is one of the very few of freshwater turtles to nest on beaches. The hatchlings can live in salty water for at least two weeks. • During courtship male Leopard tortoise trails female butting her into submission then, after mounting he extends his neck and releases a grunting bellow (relatable I think to SOME human fellows...Lmfao). • Courtship occurs in turtles that have sympatric congeners to ensure the likes of intra-specific mating. Males will come face to face with the female, and present head bobs, or titillations, with the use of the foreclaws to the female's faces. The number of bobs or vibrations along with the length of bouts, are species-specific. For example, a courting male Red-eared slider vibrates his foreclaws against the sides of the female's head. If the number of beats is correct, it identifies him as a suitable male to breed with. • Highly aquatic Central American river turtles seldom leave the water, even, to nest. They often nest by diggin' into the river bank under the water's level. Then, the eggs do NOT begin developing until the river has lowered. • The TSA (or the Turtle Survival Alliance NOT to be confused with that, extremely, different organization the Transportation Security Administration) formed, in order to monitor, and to attempt to reverse the rapidly-acceleratin' trend(s) of turtle, and tortoise population decimation (or did at least most of all of this information I am pulling out of a book that I own, that was printed in 2006...and where I'm confident most is still accurate, there is a CHANCE some of it's NOT, or's no longer accurate, anyHOW). *** The precedin' has all been brought to you, by the gruntin' bellowin' turtle fellow followin', and all its affluent affiliates. *** LmMFaO! ;) :P :o)

@@kennethmullen-qe9hg fun fact about snapping turtles is you can actually call wild ones to you by slapping the surface of the water at night, at least in areas where fishing is allowed as the turtles associate the sound with either/both a dying fish and/or a fish being stuck on a stringer, they'll also follow humans from under the surface if they believe said humans have food the turtles want. This little bit of info is from first hand experience at several lakes local to my area, i nearly got into a fist fight with one of them because it teied bullying my gf and me while fishing a few different nights at one lake.

@@aceundead4750 Pretty funny! (From an outsider's perspective, but, not so much from yours haha!) The alligator snappin' turtles also practice caudal luring same as juvenile copperheads/cottonmouths, but that's pretty well known, now, at this point. But no less interesting! Hahaha! :)

Lincoln grew up in a log cabin and Kennedy once spilled Log Cabin syrup in the back of his father's Lincoln. Lincoln was shot in Ford's Theater and Ford Motor Cars makes the Lincoln Continental that Kennedy was shot in. one or more of these might not be true.

It’s weird I thought the wall in Berlin started to come down in 1984. Had a book about the year I was born and it had that the wall came down in that year. Also my mum would always tell me it came down the year I was born too an how she was there etc. But now I google it it’s 1989 instead which makes no sense. My mum an dad lived in Germany when I was born so they would’ve known I’m sure an wtf is with the book I used to have. So weird. It seems I’ve been Mandela’d

Any coincidence involving Hitler, could probably be what's considered as bein' known as a Coinkydink(y)! In that it's a coincidence that's both extremely dark and, involves a tiny [clears throat] man, with a tiny mustache (also known as a soup-strainer...or by a far lesser-known known nickname: the nut-scrubber)! :o)
