Actually, they'd often throw you off the Tarpein rock for any sort of crimes involving sexuality.
Im from Poland , a land of lawlessness
While attending Trinity College, Lord Byron, who was very fond of animals, was not allowed to bring his dog with him. So instead, he brought a pet bear, as nowhere in the rules were there any mentions of not being allowed to have a pet bear.
Yeah yeah, same for Kaiser. Pretty interesting how far Rome's influenced reached in culture, even in regions it never directly occupied.
Quote from: Mr. Kochi on September 05, 2014, 08:12:29 amHere's a nice fact about WW1.Apparently, when the war began, neither side issued helmets to their troops. They would walk around the trenches in their caps, or in the Germans' case, leather made Pickelhaubes.Only around 1915 steel helmets were introduced, and there's quite a hilarious story about it. You see, by this time, the British generals realised a lot of their men were sent to hospital with head wounds, so they implemented the helmets. However, after the men were given these helmets, the number of men listed as 'wounded in the head' increased fivefold.Incredibly enough, the generals thought the men were stupid, and began popping their heads over the parapets more often. Ergo, they pulled an order to remove the helmets.Only a few smart people actually realised that the number of soldiers sent to hospital increased because they DIED LESS. The helmets deflected shrapnel, thus only hurting the user, rather than having him killed.im not sure thats entirely true... I have seen relics of helmets from 1914 im pretty sure, from the French.

Faggots will burn in hell anyway, who cares.
