He was a mass-murderer.letterbomber223 said:
His combat and survival skills are to be admired, but why do so many people cite his feats as shining examples of humankind's potential? By that reckoning, the hijackers who hit the twin towers were Gods too.
War is shit, and I hate this "killstreak" mentality so common nowadays. He was in the right place, at the right time, with the right skill set, and with the right amount of luck to damage, demoralise and severely hamper the invading Soviets, the deaths of whom are no better than the deaths of the Jews in concentration camps, or the civilians in China, or the victims of the death-marches in the Pacific, or the victims of the Hiroshima/Nagasaki bombings... or the deaths of any human beings killed during armed warfare.
I heard of a Roman general who declared war on Neptune. He comanded his soldiers to throw spears into the sea at random.
adding to that, the entire American Civil war was won by the Yanks because the blind British seer Theresa(who has been honoured in the Fable games) saw that when we won the Yanks would be in the worst poverty ever, so we left and let them control themselves, because we rule, and Theresa owns, and we're also kind and helpful and enjoy the company of Americans.LaughingAtlas said:
^that's my version, and history's written by the victor, now, i jet need to change my name to Viktor [insert russian sounding last name here]...^
okay, this is my best REAL (definately) one:
there was a man who ran around Nottingham forest, he stole from the rich and gave to the poor, he was called Robin Hood, he is celebrated in the town centre of Wollaton(town in Nottingham), but his Merry Men don't have a statue.
(By the Way, Nottingham is a city almost perfectly in the Centre of England(horizontally AND vertically)
BOO!!! he killed Russians(so what if they were Soviets)letterbomber223 said:
YAY!!! he helped his country!
BOO!!! he killed 505 people...
russia has always had a lot of people, but during both world wars, 1/2 of the soldiers either didn't have rifes, or had no ammo or other equipment necessary to survive, and do you fancy your chances of survival if you are running at a sniper who you have to find, run to, and then kill with your fists before he can fire a shot or two? short answer: No, long answer: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
No, Satan only intervenes directly for events of global suffering, like tsunamis, earthquakes, and the release of a new Coldplay album.I_am_a_Spoon said:

Snakes (Or more specifically, Adders) don't hunt for hedgehogs.

Not so much historical but what can you do with interesting facts?
As for history, the real first man in 'space' got there via helium balloon, he then proceeded to jump out and sky dive back down to earth.
It's said his testicles are the size of pumpkins.
Because as far I know he is still alive.

Not true. Chlorine will react with water (this includes water in sweat, and more importantly, the moisture of your eyes and lungs) to form hydrochloric acid (and also oxygen, but that's not relevant).honestdiscussioner said:
Chlorine is rather more dense than air, yes, to the extent that soldiers standing upright on the firing steps would be affected less than injured soldiers lying in the bottom of the trench. If it was merely denser than air and displaced oxygen it'd take a truly massive amount to kill anyone standing up in open ground.
Paul Revere rode through towns on his horse, while ringing bells and firing shots off from his musket not to warn people of the British army, but to warn the British that they weren't going to take our guns away. USA! USA! USA!
Even ask Sarah Palin.
OT: Paul Revere did not actually shout "The British are coming!" because back then we were all still British. It wouldn't have made sense.

Just wanted to gather some attention for Carl Gustaf von Rosen [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Carl_Gustaf_von_Rosen], Swedish aviation pioneer who was one of the greatest champions of noble lost causes who ever lived. Although related to Luftwaffe head Hermann Göring, von Rosen spent most of his life fighting tyrants both fascist and communist, and especially fighting distress. He flew relief supplies to Ethiopia for the Red Cross during the Italian invasion, flew bombing runs for the Finns during the Winter War, and relief missions in the Congo for the UN.
During the ill-fated Biafran War, he and a few friends gave Biafra an airforce They were able to destroy most of Nigeria's air force, including many advanced Soviet planes, on the ground [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,941667-1,00.html].
He died at the age of 68, still flying relief missions for Ethiopia during their war with Somalia. Someone needs to make a movie of this guy's life.

Jesus Christ 7 people corrected me. Note that I said according to an article on cracked and also I made it clear I wasn't sure what world war it was for those of you insisting that I shouldn't call Germans Nazis if they were in World War 1. FYI: I didn't know which WW it was. It could have been 2. I didn't know. 
The Humanity Declaration [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanity_Declaration], in which the emperor of Japan in WW2 admitted (half-assedly and in archaic Japanese that the commoners wouldn't understand) that he was, in fact, a human. He later went on record saying stupid shit like "You can't prove that I'm not the descendant of gods".
