Post Something Interesting

The almost total eradication of the buffalo in the US had only one purpose, and that was to starve the indigenous first-nation population into oblivion, genocide that is firmly under the carpet of white history. "Plausible deniability" trumps any moral issues, aided and abetted by a complicit and racially driven press. La plus ca change etc...
Nope sorry calling fake Internet news on this. The new settlers slaughtered buffalo for their skins, leaving the meat to rot. First nations only killed when food was required. The settlers shot the buffalo for sport and to clear the plains for cattle as well. It was not done as genocide.
A further problem was the native Americans were forced onto reservations but most were nomadic and followed the buffalo. This had the effect of starving them but it was not deliberate genocide
 
Levy the greedy **** wants a billion.
Only City want him
Kane only got himself to blame. If he thought he'd stay for 2or3 years and then leave if they won nought, he should have had a release clause. A gentleman's agreement with Levy of all people....pfft.
 
High heel shoes were first used in the 16th century for Persian cavalry soldiers. They gave the horsemen better stability in the stirrups when using their bows.

Quick approximate conversion from degrees C to F -
Double the C + 28 (sometimes easier to add 30 then minus 2)
eg 25c =50+28=78. Actual is 77
eg 10c =20+28=48. Actual is 50
Dreadlocks were first worn in Poland in C17th .
 
It is also the reason we shake hands with our right hand. If you approached a stranger with your hand extended you were not going to draw your sword and fight.
And its also why we shake our cocks with the right after a piss. Saves cutting off your manhood accidently with a swashbuckle.
