Did you know.....?

Post by Sionnach Glic »

Did you know that you will spend, on average, six months of your life sitting at traffic lights, waiting for them to change?

Did you know that Van Gough only sold one painting in his lifetime?

What other interesting, but little known, facts do you know?

On average, every person in the UK spends 4 YEARS of their life in cars. (thank you top gear for that)

Technically Germany was still at Declared war with America until the Berlin wall fell in...1992?. It just had no government or military, due to the divide, to facilitate this war.

Only the God-Emperor can forgive you. Beg of him and feel upon yourself the lash. Pain will cleanse your soul. :lol:

I don't believe the Korean war has technically ended yet (it's a prolonged cease fire).

This is true, in fact small unit combat is not unknown even to this day.

You will bow to him, all will bow to him. There is no other way. :twisted:

I do not find the idea of this 'Warp' existing particularly rational. Prove to me that it ACTUALLY exists and i'll PERHAPS commit myself to it's belief.
