In the southern United States, prior to the Civil War, disputes were sometimes settled by "rough and tumble" duels where unarmed fighters tried to gouge out their opponent's eyes or bite off parts of their body.

The Greek Plan was a proposal by Catherine the Great to carve up the Ottoman Empire and restore the Eastern Roman Empire with its capital at Constantinople.
Fact: if you go 100 million light years away from earth, then point a telescope to earth (which is impossible but lets theoretically say you can see it) you would still see dinosaurs.
I may be wrong but I'd say if you *go* 100 Mly away from the Earth (which you could do if you travel fast enough so that the spacetime distorsion allows you to age not too much during your trip), you would see the Earth as it was when you left, because around 100 Mly would have passed on Earth still, and the light going to your eyes would have been emitted 100 Mly before, which is around the moment you left.
But if you *were* 100 Mly away from the Earth already and pointed a telescope towards the Earth, then you would indeed see dinosaurs.
That's my understanding of Einstein's special relativity, but I'm far from being an expert in that field.
well im just saying that if you just randomly were 100 million ly away from earth and somehow had a telescope that big you would see dinosaurs just theoretically
Yes that's true, that's what I was trying to say with the second statement in my previous comment. Actually, theoretically, it'd even be possible to see dinosaurs from the Earth!
Huge masses such as black holes could bend spacetime enough so that light would make a U-turn. So theoretically, light from the Earth could go towards a black hole 50Mly far away, then make a U-turn and come back to the Earth 100Mly after it left.
I don’t remember if this fact has been placed here but I’ll give it. John Wilkes Booth’s brother Edwin Booth saved Abraham Lincoln’s son Robert from being run over by a train.
In the mid-1800s, when the Kingdom of Sardinia was unifying Italy, the last state left to conquer to unify the peninsula was the Papal States, headquartered at Rome and ruled by the Pope. As the Italians closed in on Rome, Pope Pius IX decreed that whichever Italian gave the order to conquer Rome would be excommunicated by the Church. To solve this problem, King Vittorio Emmanuel of Italy told a Jewish General to give the order. Since Catholic law didn't apply to him, the Pope could do nothing, and Rome fell to Italy.
If a Japanese kamikaze pilot during World War II failed in their mission of crashing the plane into enemy ships, they weren't usually executed or even really punished for their failure. Instead, they were just sent again. Well, except for this one guy who went and came back nine times and was executed for cowardice.
Linguists use the term 'Escher sentences' for constructions which appear to make sense at first glance but don't actually have any grammatical meaning. Example:
is that really a bad thing though? I think this law should be implemented across the country. it provides more jobs and makes it easier on people as they don't have to go outside to pump their gas, which could be especially useful in the wintertime and/or at night
the name for those who survived both bombings is hibakusha. I believe that the traumatized survivors of Hiroshima travelled to Nagasaki to get away from the bomb zone but then somehow survived the bombing of Nagasaki too.
The Hashtag (#) was originally called libra pondo which translates as "pound weight" from latin. Fun history the Bell Telephone company popularized octothorpe as another name for the hashtag and there is still doubt on octothorpe's origins.
Minnesota has a mountain range, the "sawtooth mountains" They barely meet the criteria for mountains and are more glorified hills.
The Capital of St. Paul originates from a bar that was in a cave in the bluffs ran by a man called Pierre "Pig's Eye" Parrant who had a deformed eye. It was a popular escape for soldiers at Fort Snelling.
Any human language with a finite number of words/characters is inappropriate for a proper use in mathematics. They all would lead to Richard's paradox: "N is the smallest number that cannot be defined with less than twenty words". In the previous sentence, N was just defined with less than 20 words. You can replace 20 with any finite number big enough to write this sentence in another language.
1: The Irish for whiskey (uisce beatha) has a literal translation of 'Water of Life'.
2: The old Irish for church is 'Cill' so when place names based around chruches were translated to English, they started with 'Kil'. Good examples are 'Kilcock' (Meath), 'Kilbarrack' (Dublin) and Kilkenny.
3: The Irish for jellyfish (smugairle róin) has a literal translation of 'Seal Snot'
This exceeding trifling witling, considering ranting criticizing concerning adopting fitting wording being exhibiting transcending learning, was displaying, notwithstanding ridiculing, surpassing boasting swelling reasoning, respecting correcting erring writing, and touching detecting deceiving arguing during debating.
Is it correct? Somehow, yes! I don't know how the h*ll that is supposed to be.
Same goes for this:
I do not know where family doctors acquired illegibly perplexing handwriting; nevertheless, extraordinary pharmaceutical intellectuality, counterbalancing indecipherability, transcendentalizes intercommunications’ incomprehensibleness.
I believe this was recently corrected in a quiz answer, so it's known--but as a reminder, 766 is no longer true (it's generally legal in Oregon to pump your own gas now).
