There are 318,979,564,000 possible ways to play first four moves, per side, in chess.

Each king in a deck of playing cards represents great kings from history. Spades - King David, Clubs - Alexander the Great, Hearts - Charlemagne, Diamonds - Julius Caesar.

Hitler - allegedly - had an aunt in Liverpool.

i dont think it was his aunt. his half brother Alois settled in Liverpool, he married an Irish lady and they had a son William in Toxteth.

That was it. There's an urban legend - which is untrue - that he spent a summer in Liverpool and even attended Anfield.

I did know that, but there was a History Channel special on about him during the week so I kind of feel like I cheated. He was also a sex addict (thats the kinda programming the History Channel delivers these days)

Did you know that in 1997 there was a huge underwater sound detected that to this day no one has a clue what it could have been?

it's a band but i don't know if its Alex or Alexis.

and..anyone has any clue who was it that actually woke up one day and decided that it sounds cool to actually make raspy voices like Chester Bennington or Alissa White-Gluz does on some their tracks?
