50 Facts About The World People Accidentally Realized And Had To Share Them Online

First, damn, that's the first time I've thought of the Roman Empire all week. Second, this is debatable. This is referring to the Byzantine Empire. AKA the Eastern Roman Empire. They may have considered themselves Roman in the fifth century when the Western Empire fell, but a thousand years later they were NOT Roman anymore. Their capital was Constantinople. Most of them were Christian. They spoke Greek not Latin. IMO they were not Roman. Not in the 15th century. They were their own special, fascinating civilization.

Absolutely! Jackie Coogan was Uncle Fester in the original 60's series! I think his first appearance in film was with Charlie Chaplin, but don't quote me on that one.

Kwame Nkrumah led the independence movement in Ghana in the 1950s and was universally loved when Ghana became a nation in 1957. He began work on hundreds of essential infrastructure projects which would help bring Ghana up to the level of developed nations quickly. He promised a powerful and prosperous country, which could be independent of the Cold War struggle between East and West and even serve as an intermediary. He then decided it was better if he would become a dictator. He suppressed Ghanaian traditional culture, began imprisoning people without charges, almost immediately violated his own constitution, removed checks and balances in government, inspected and censored all media outlets, instated and removed judges erratically and at will based on whether their rulings suited him, rigged elections, and declared himself "president for life". Ghana was driven into deep and lasting debt. Kwame Nkrumah was overthrown and banned from the country for life, ostensibly for creating a cult of personality and making himself the oppressive dictator of Ghana. After the coup, Ghana was ruled by politically unstable military dictatorships, and wracked by constant coups, for thirty years.

“Fight Children With Diabetes”: 50 Funny Signs That Ended Up Online To Bring Joy To All

Seriously. If your parents are willing to send you to YALE, you f*****g well better stay the course and get your degree, because an Ivy League education will open golden doors that a state college education won’t. Also, you won’t be moving back in with them when whatever s**t job you have to take because you dropped out finally lays you off. Some people just don’t know how f*****g lucky they are. As the only girl out of five kids in a family headed by old school “greatest generation” parents, of course my father didn’t intend to send me to college. But, had he been a decent parent to the only child of his who managed to get good enough grades to get into an Ivy League school, and offered me a chance to go to Yale, fully paid by him (my mother was a SAHM who never worked outside the home), you can bet your sweet bippy I would’ve been an enthusiastic Eli and stayed the full four years, even if I hated every damn minute of it.

The sciences like astronomy and medicine use the metric system as a standard regardless of what country you're in (yes that includes the US). The metric system is all based on tens and it's very easy to convert between units of measurement, which reduces errors. Check any medication label, it's going to be in mg or micrograms

Met a guy on the train to East Germany. We ended up partying the night away, becoming good friends, and I spent Christmas with him, his family, and his ridiculously hot GF. That was the last good meal I had before we deployed to the Gulf. I remember being blown away by how gracious and kind his parents were toward me. Plus, he bought me a "New Kids on the Block" Christmas album. It was such a catastrophically poor gift but the thought was there. So now I always invite friends over for holidays, try to go overboard on gifts to friends. Thanks Thorsten. EDIT: Well this took an unexpected turn. Thanks to MarkG1 who suggested I try Facebook, I'm now just about reunited with my old friend. I tried different spellings of his last name (I was way the f**k off) and there he was. Unbelievable. Every time I get mad at Reddit for some stupid thing, something like this happens. Jesus... EDIT 2: Damn, he's still a cook! EDIT 3: I wish my German skills hadn't disintegrated... EDIT 4: He just responded. Yep, he's been looking for me too. He said he and his parents still talk about that Christmas. This is awesome.

The UK is completely metric apart from distance/speed (road signs in miles) and, bizarrely, pints for milk and beer (by law). Scales have dual measurements, so an older person can buy two pounds of meat, for example. However, the label produced will show the amount in metric.
