You bet your fucking ass he did. Twice.

The first time was in Berlin in 1933. After that, they both emigrated to the United States to run from Hitler and his army of MechaHitlers to the promised land of dirty old men boinking young women. Then she ran off with that cocksucker Joe DiMaggio. The end.

You would think it was Buzz Aldrin, but in actuality, it was a monkey named Zimbo that was rocked up there in 1939 by the Nazis. Ever see "Iron Sky"? That moon base is the real deal, they colonized the moon with apes first to ensure that humans could handle it. That and Lithuanians.

QuoteAlso, Marie Curie. Genius? Party girl? Both?

Marie Curie was a member of the Chi Upsilon Nu Tau sorority at the University of Indiana at Perdue in 1989. She was notorious for entering wet t-shirt contests on Sink or Swim Tuesdays, and was known for that thing she did with her tongue, so says the Brother Fraternity members from Eta Epsilon Alpha Delta.

This failed, and he died after getting beaten half to death by the King of France's cronies, and the result was the Avignon Papacy. That's actually true also.

What was Albrecht von Wallenstein's power level?

It would be too easy to say over 9000, the correct answer is over 3 million, because Lithuania invented Bohemia, the 30 Years War, and bad Elizabethan neckruffs. They did not, however, invent the Habsburgs. They invented themselves over years of very inclusive, controlled experiments.

The King's Landing wrapped dresses are based on an 11th Century Byzantine design of a court dancer. Clearly the costume designers know their Tom Tierney coloring books very well.

This is what happens when game designers watch too much anime and other shit and think that scrolls are cool.

Ancient Jews did do something like this, but it was folded and put into an amulet or small bag they wore at all times. They also had to write it themselves. There was nothing like this in the Middle Ages as far as I know.

Ancient Jews did do something like this, but it was folded and put into an amulet or small bag they wore at all times. They also had to write it themselves. There was nothing like this in the Middle Ages as far as I know.

And, funny enough, things called "phylacteries" are in tons of fantasy games, and most people have no idea where the term comes from. :lulz:

+10 for the use of proper vocab on Cainad's part.  :golfclap:

They had some at the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit...so tiny...tiny TINY.
