During the 100 Years War, the French countryside was devastated, lawless and full of unburied corpses. It was a paradise for wolves.

During the 100 Years War, the French countryside was devastated, lawless and full of unburied corpses. It was a paradise for wolves. “In all the lowlands of the Loire, the sheep were gone -- devoured, destroyed. The cattle that were left were herded by peasants and defended with such weapons as were at hand. By night, they were safe corralled in barns or high stockades.” People did not dare to venture outdoors at night, when the wolves would prowl village streets, killing any man or animal they found. Outside of Paris was a piece of rugged ground that had been cleared of trees. The wolves made it their home. "Here it was known that many wolves had their dens, and each year new litters of cubs were born, to be a terror on the roads that led to the great city. It was many generations before the place was cleaned up; and the only memory of its savage denizens left today is the name, the same but shortened, that attaches to the place - the Louvre." The wolf king, ...

We are not sorry.

We are not sorry. We are not sorry that we rescued four innocent Jewish hostages and eliminated the terrorists who were holding them as well as the people who fired at the soldiers during the operation. Anyone else killed there is on Hamas. We are not sorry. We are not sorry that we are fighting Hamas by any and all means necessary. Don’t come to us when they use Gazans as human shields. We are not sorry. We are not sorry that we went into Rafah and destroyed endless terror tunnels and eliminated endless terrorists. We are not sorry. We are not sorry that us Jews can now defend ourselves and we are doing just that. We are not sorry. We are not sorry that despite not starting this war, we are winning it and will continue to do so. We are not sorry. We are not sorry that Lebanon is about to pay a very steep price for allowing Hezbollah to attack Israel from its territory. There is a price for supporting terror. We are not sorry. We are not sorry for attacking terrorists even when ...

He became famous for slapping the king on the butt.

He became famous for slapping the king on the butt. This act made the king very angry and he threatened to have Triboulet executed. After taking a moment to calm down, the king decided to spare Triboulet's life if he could think of a more insulting apology than the one he had just made to the king. Triboulet went on to say, "I am so sorry, your majesty, that I did not recognize you! I mistook you for the queen!" While Triboulet's response was clever and indeed more offensive, he broke an order that forbade anyone from mocking the queen. The king decided to proceed with the execution but allowed Triboulet to choose how to die. With his life in danger, Triboulet responded: "Good father, for the love of Saint Nitouche and Saint Pansard, patrons of madness, I choose to die of old age." The speechless king could do nothing but laugh. He canceled the execution and decided to banish Triboulet.

Lawyers should never ask a Georgia grandma a question if they arent prepared for the answer

Lawyers should never ask a Georgia grandma a question if they arent prepared for the answer In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?' She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.' The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?' She again replied, 'Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinkin...

Is This the End for Me?

Is This the End for Me? Look at the monkey’s eyes—you can see the fear and hopelessness of his situation. The crocodile, on the other hand, is just going about its day, hunting and living. Yet, despite the odds, the monkey survived, even though it was hurt. This is what life is like, my friends. Even in the toughest situations, we must not lose hope. We fight, or we give up. Life, like the crocodile, doesn’t slow down for our pain or troubles. Stay strong. Keep pushing. Be brave. Life can be unpredictable and sometimes harsh, but it's also full of unexpected victories. Every scar and wound shows your strength and survival. You can endure more than you think. When you feel overwhelmed, remember the story of the monkey. Despite the fear and the odds, there's always a chance to survive and thrive. Believe in your strength and face life head-on.

On the evening of October 31, 1990, thirty-two-year-old magician Joseph Burrus arrived at Blackbeard's Family Fun Center, an amusement park in Fresno, California.

On the evening of October 31, 1990, thirty-two-year-old magician Joseph Burrus arrived at Blackbeard's Family Fun Center, an amusement park in Fresno, California. Dressed completely in white, that evening Amazing Joe would have performed an elaborate escapology trick in front of the local TV and hundreds of people: tied with ropes, handcuffed and chained, he would have tried to free himself from a plastic and glass coffin, buried almost a meter underground. He had already successfully accomplished the feat the year before in Oregon, but this time there would be an important difference: in addition to the earth, a layer of fresh concrete would also be added. The man, after a brief interview for TV, settled into the transparent coffin that he had personally designed. Helpers lowered the coffin into the grave and nine tons of earth and cement were placed on top of him. A few seconds later, the crowd saw an unusual movement above the grave, a subsidence, as if the plastic coffin had...

A woman in Mississippi almost died during s.e.x after she felt a “pop” when having an orgasm that was actually a torn aorta, the largest artery that transports blood around the body.

A woman in Mississippi almost died during s.e.x after she felt a “pop” when having an orgasm that was actually a torn aorta, the largest artery that transports blood around the body. The remarkable case was recorded in the American Journal Case Report, where the unnamed woman’s story was documented in detail. According to the report, the 45-year-old woman from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, rushed to the emergency room complaining of “stabbing” chest pains which she ranked “10 out of 10.” The woman told medics that she had been “having sexual intercourse with her husband” with her legs pressed against her chest when she experienced an orgasm. After hearing the eerie sound, the woman also complained of nausea and shortness of breath. Hospital staff checked her vitals and discovered that she had a blood pressure of 220/140 mmHg. On average, a woman of her age will typically have a heart rate between 120 and 180 “The patient had a past medical history of hypertension and … admitted to an a...

The Mbalantu women of Namibia were in the 1900s well-known for their incredibly long, braided hair.

The Mbalantu women of Namibia were in the 1900s well-known for their incredibly long, braided hair. Eembuvi braids are worn by women of the Mbalantu tribes from the Namibia. It’s a style that requires preparation from a young age when Mbalantu girls use thick layers of finely ground tree bark and oils– a mixture that is said to be the secret to growing their hair to such lengths. Eembuvi braids are part of the process of Mbalantu girls being initiated into womanhood. Preparation for this stage begins when the girls are twelve and the hair undergoes special treatment to drastically speed up hair growth. First, the hair is coated with a thick paste made from the finely ground tree bark of the omutyuula tree mixed with fat.  The paste is loosened to make the hair visible after a few years. Fruit pips are then tied to the hair ends with sinew strings. When girls reach the age of sixteen, long sinew strands that reach the ground are attached to the hair. In the same year they undergo th...

How long can a human being go without eating.

How long can a human being go without eating. In 1965, a 27-year-old Irish man named Angus Barbieri who suffered from severe obesity did it for 382 days. He survived more than a year exclusively thanks to his body fats, in addition of course to water, other liquids and supplements, going to the bathroom approximately once every 40/50 days. The sensational fast had been prescribed to him by Dr. William Kinnear Stewart and occurred under controlled conditions, with frequent blood tests and hospital checks. In the initial intentions the treatment should have lasted only 40 days but Angus found himself unexpectedly at ease stating that his body was getting used well to the absence of food and, thanks to his great desire to achieve the goal, he decided to continue to the bitter end. In the end, starting from an initial weight of 207kg, he managed to lose 125kg, thus reaching his ideal weight of 82kg. He broke his fast on the morning of 11 July 1966, eating a hard-boiled...

“I had to choose between being b*rned alive or being sh0t.”

“I had to choose between being b*rned alive or being sh0t.” On October 7th, 2023, Mazal Tazazo was attacked by Hama while trying to escape the Nova music festival with her friends. "We managed to reach Route 232, what we now call the highway to hell, and tried to evade them in every possible way, including getting out of the car and hiding behind bushes near the road. Unfortunately, we couldn't conceal ourselves," she recalls of that horrific day. "I was struck on the head with a rifle butt, and my friends were murdered," she continues. "The terrorists tied my legs and wanted to take me but I played dead and they gave up… then they set the area on fire, and I had to choose between burning to death or being shot. I decided to flee from the flames toward the road and sat in the car for two hours until, around 3 p.m., an angel—another Nova survivor—came and drove me and four other survivors to safety." "In those moments, you don't think about...

Simone Segouin, mostly known by her codename Nicole Minet, was only 18 years old when the Germans invaded.

Simone Segouin, mostly known by her codename Nicole Minet, was only 18 years old when the Germans invaded. Her first act of rebellion was to steal a bicycle from a German military administration and slice the tires of all the other bikes and motorcycles so they couldn't pursue her. She found a pocket of the Resistance and joined the fight, using the stolen bike to deliver messages between Resistance groups. She was an extremely fast learner and quickly became an expert at tactics and explosives. She led teams of Resistance fighters to capture German troops, set traps, and sabotage German equipment. As the war dragged on, her deeds escalated to derailing German trains, blocking roads, blowing up bridges, and helping to create a German-free path to aid the Allied forces in retaking France from the inside. Remarkably, she was never caught. Segouin was present at the liberation of Chartres on August 23, 1944, and then the liberation of Paris two days later. She was promoted...

A heartbreaking image

A heartbreaking image The child had gone to get water for the family with his donkey, when at a certain point the animal fell to the ground and died, causing great despair in the boy. In some places a donkey not only represents a means of sustenance, but is also a friend, as a dog or horse can be for us. Some say that being born poor or rich is a matter of luck. It may be partly true, but when you see that there are people who have personal wealth with which they could pay off a nation's public debt, while others are literally dying of hunger, you think that something in this world isn't working as it should...

Gruesome pictures show crowds gathering at a public square in Sana'a, Yemen, as the men are shot dead. The three thugs have been convicted of raping and killing ten-year-old Mosad Saleh al-Mothana. Yemeni officers forced the men, dressed in blue overalls, to lie face down on a mat. A policeman shot each man in turn, through the back with five bullets aiming for the heart. Their bloodied corpses were strung up from a crane for all to see. The convicted paedo is forced to lie face-down on the ground in front of a crowd It comes after ...

A Mistake That Common People Make

A Mistake That Common People Make A woman enters the consultation room. She can hardly walk, as if something is stuck between her legs. She has a hard time explaining what is wrong, but it is certainly “down there.” The doctors asks her to undress, but she hesitates. In the end, she climbs over the invisible steeple only she is seeing, and undresses anyway. And what is revealed is nothing less than grotesque. Her uterus is hanging between her legs, and it is black. Eroded and necrotized. Only a bit smelly, but there must have been a time where the stench was worse. The doctor asks since when this has happened (and she is afraid for the answer). Again the woman hesitates, and has a hard time finding her words. “Three years.” The doctor does not know what to say. (Three years ? Three years of sitting on this thing. Of going to the bathroom with this thing. Of walking and talking with this thing. Of sleeping with this thing. And didn’t her husband say anything about this ? It’s ...

A German woman who joined the Islamic State and chained up a five-year-old Yazidi slave girl, leaving her to die of thirst in the sun, has been handed a 14-year prison sentences.

A German woman who joined the Islamic State and chained up a five-year-old Yazidi slave girl, leaving her to die of thirst in the sun, has been handed a 14-year prison sentences. Jennifer Wenisch joined ISIS in Iraq and allowed the young girl to die of thirst for wetting the bed in 2015. She and her husband, an ISIS fighter, had bought the young Yazidi girl and her mother as slaves, and went on to commit horrific acts of abuse. The woman argued in court that her husband had restrained the girl and left her to die, but judges decided that she was equally responsible for the girl's fate. Jennifer was originally given 10 years in prison in 2021 for her involvement in the death of the five-year-old Yazidi slave girl. The Court finally increased her jail term to 14 years and her husband is serving life imprisonment.

An Egyptian woman insisted on the fact that her husband’s sperm be checked, because they were trying to get pregnant

An Egyptian woman insisted on the fact that her husband’s sperm be checked, because they were trying to get pregnant, and nothing happened at all. And she would not take no for an answer. Back in Egypt, his fertility never was a problem because they’d had three children there, and now nothing seemed to happen. Maybe it was the change of climate, maybe it was stress, but “she had to know what was going on.” His semen sample turned out to be a dead end in more than one way: there was not a single living sperm cell detectable. Even weirder: it had always been like that, because not much later the man was diagnosed with a very rare congenital condition in which patients are infertile from birth. He never could have babies at all in the first place. And yet she was the one who kept persisting that something be done, even when she had been unmasked as a serial cheater by the tests she had insisted on herself, and even when the urologist tried to explain calmly...

A funny little historical fact would be that of the first political cartoon.

A funny little historical fact would be that of the first political cartoon. It depicst the female Pharaoh Hatshepsut, getting screwed by a man believed to be her lover, chief architect Senmut. It is kind of fascinating how these people lived almost 4000 years ago and yet, the same obsessions that still plague us today, plagued our ancestors. Hatshepsut was an interesting character — though a woman, she assumed the title of Pharaoh (King) upon her husband’s death and reigned for over twenty years. To further ‘look the part’, she wore not only the full regalia of a King, but even a fake beard on her face. She oversaw the construction of great palaces and temples and was, by all accounts, a ruler every bit as tough and all-powerful as any other… yet when she died, many of her monuments were destroyed, and her statues defaced. For all her reign, Hatshepsut carried herself like a King. But her subjects still tried to belittle her by creating lewd images of her and her rumored lover...

The lion isn’t attacking the girl in this photo. It’s being playful.

The lion isn’t attacking the girl in this photo. It’s being playful. In the early 1970s, Hollywood actress Tippi Hedren and her then 14-year-old daughter, Melanie Griffith, hired a fully-grown lion named Neil into their home to make a family movie (titled “Roar”) using twenty-five lions. She and her family invited a number of young cubs to live at their Californian home and moved to a mountain ranch to begin filming. It was a painful experience; Tippi had her arm badly scratched by a leopard, Melanie was scratched on her face, and the director of photography survived a particularly dangerous incident. The original plan was to shoot “Roar” in nine months, but filming the animals eventually took five years. The film was not released until 1981. The family’s experience with the lions convinced them that such creatures should not be in close contact with humans. They invited lions into their home at a time when the dangers of keeping such animals was not fully understood. ...

This is just a reminder of how Christianity became so popular today.*

*This is just a reminder of how Christianity became so popular today.* During the reign of Charlemagne, women were impaled on sharpened poles put in the vagina. Slowly, over days, the pole would travel the length of the body through the organs, causing tremendous pain, simply because a woman was found collecting herbs in the forest. She was labelled a witch. Their screams could be heard for days as an example to those who would not accept the foreign faith. Christianity became so popular because of sheer terror of what would happen if it wasn't accepted.

The story behind this photo continues to shock anyone who recognizes it.

The story behind this photo continues to shock anyone who recognizes it. In 1968, two men kidnapped Kim Bird. They put her in a homemade coffin, took this photo and buried her in the woods. They hung the photo on a local bulletin board and signed on the back, "I am buried in the woods, you have no more than 5 days to find me." For days, passersby looked at the photo and thought it was a joke. Until a former colleague of Kim's saw the photo. She immediately went to the police, but they didn't know what to do. After all, they only have the photo, but where it is buried is unknown. Then Kim's classmate started looking at the photo and realized that some letters are written strangely, highlighted in bold, and if you look closely, you can read the girl's secret message... On the leaf was written Kim + Brad (classmate's name). It was exactly the kind of inscription they had once left on a tree during a vacation in the woods as a token of their love for ea...

The Thinking Man's ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’

The Thinking Man's ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’ In 1930 Georg Pabst’s ‘Westfront 1918’ was Germany’s most anticipated cinema release.  It chronicled the shattering impact of the Great War upon four German soldiers on the Western Front.   The film lived up to expectations. At its premiere in Berlin, its unsparing realism reportedly caused 20 people to faint.  In the film’s most harrowing scene, a disillusioned lieutenant suffers a nervous breakdown and slides into insanity. He repeatedly shouts ‘Hurrah’ as he salutes a pile of corpses. The film was a critical success. A correspondent dubbed it ‘the most vivid argument yet contrived against war.’ The film has also stood the test of time.  In 1995 it was selected as one of the 100 most significant German movies ever made.  ‘Rotten Tomatoes’ scored it 100%, with one critic labelling it as ‘the thinking man's “All Quiet on the Western Front”.’ Yet the obvious question is, why have so few people ever heard of...

German soldiers launching an attack on 'Dead Man's Hill' during the Battle of Verdun, March 15-16, 1916. (Likely staged)

German soldiers launching an attack on 'Dead Man's Hill' during the Battle of Verdun, March 15-16, 1916. (Likely staged) The following is excerpts of Danish-German Unteroffizier Friedrich Karl Dambeck's account of an attack on the Côte 304 at Verdun on June 29, 1916 - today 107 years ago. Translated by myself:  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Following the long and thorough preparation, on June 29 we were again to attempt taking the corpse-covered hill with a storm. Already on June 27 did Hauptmann Borchmann step forward to organise his storm units. Four units of 12 men each were necessary. The majority of these volunteered, the rest were drafted among the most experienced. Everyone stood in their right place at the established timestamp. At 5:15 the last heavy German shells exploded on the enemy's position, and worse than ever before it rained with splinters and rocks by our ears, all due to our heavy artillery. Suddenly the shells were subdued; the artillery fire had moved fur...

Pictures taken during the Battle for Hill 192 in Normandy - June/July 1944

Pictures taken during the Battle for Hill 192 in Normandy - June/July 1944 Note that some of these pictures were taken in or near Saint-Georges-d'Elle Hill 192 was located between the cities of Saint-Lô and Bayeux in Normandy. The Battle was fought between elements of the 2nd US Infantry Division and the 16,000 strong 3rd German Fallschirmjäger (Parachute) Division, commanded by Generalleutnant Richard Schimf. Hill 192 gave the defending German forces good observation for miles in every direction. It needed to be taken in order for US General Omar Bradley to drive behind the German left flank and break out of Normandy; the attack that would become Operation Cobra. The terrain around Hill 192 also provided the German defenders excellent cover & concealment. US Lt. General Joseph Lawton Collins, found it worse country to fight in than Guadalcanal. The long battle among the Hedgerows finally culminated on July 10 when US forces captured Hill 192 and the surrounding area LIFE Magaz...

Why was Vajna's execution significant, and it symbolize for the people of Hungary in history

Why was Vajna's execution significant, and  it symbolize for the people of Hungary in history Gabor Vajna was a Hungarian politician who had been active in far-right and anti-Semitic politics since the 1920s. He joined the Arrow Cross Party in 1935 and rose to become one of its leaders. During World War II, Vajna served as Minister of the Interior in the Arrow Cross government, which was established after the Germans invaded Hungary in 1944. Vajna was responsible for enforcing the party's policies, which included rounding up and deporting Jews and other "undesirables" to concentration camps. After the war, Hungary was occupied by the Soviet Union, which established a provisional government to investigate and prosecute war crimes. Vajna was arrested by the Soviet Red Army and was charged with crimes against humanity, war crimes, and high treason. He was put on trial in Budapest in early 1946, along with other high-ranking members of the Arrow Cross Party. Vajna's t...

Unbelievable! See Reason Why Henry Wirz Executed On The November 10, 1865

Unbelievable! See Reason Why Henry Wirz Executed On The November 10, 1865 Before the Civil War, Henry Wirz practices medicine, although he is not officially a doctor. The profession does not have near the present-day educational requirements. As a Confederate officer, Wirz becomes superintendent of Georgia's Andersonville prison, officially known as Camp Sumter, in 1864. Providing only makeshift shelters, the prison becomes notorious for its appalling conditions. Of the approximately 45,000 Union prisoners confined at Andersonville, over 13,000 perish. On May 7, 1865, four weeks after the end of the Civil War, Wirz is arrested on charges of war crimes for impairing the lives of Union prisoners. A military tribunal convicts him on several counts of violating the "laws of war" in torturing the prisoners in multiple ways including physically beating and starving them and unlawfully confining them in stocks. Wirz is hanged at Washington, D.C.'s Old Capitol Prison on Novem...

The ghostly, tortured, face of Patrick Hamilton burned onto into the masonry of St.Salvator's, St. Andrews.

The ghostly, tortured, face of Patrick Hamilton burned onto into the masonry of St.Salvator's, St. Andrews. Patrick Hamilton was one of the very first Protestant preachers in Scotland who, in 1528, was arrested and tried for heresy, bravely accepting both his guilt and his death sentence. The authorities were concerned that if they spent too long preparing for his execution, powerful friends might rescue the condemned man. It was decided that he should be burned at the stake immediately and a pyre was hastily prepared outside St Salvator’s Chapel.  Unfortunately, it was a damp day and the freshly gathered wood burned slowly. Hamilton stood for hours in agony amongst the smouldering pile. To speed things along, the executioners threw gunpowder on the embers which exploded, but still didn’t end his torture.  Eventually, things were too much for poor Hamilton to bear and he pled for death, allegedly crying "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!" Almost immediately the preacher died...
