2. Every two minutes, we take as many photos as all of humanity took during the 1800s.
On the left is the first photograph ever taken (1826), View from the Window at Le Gras by French inventor Joseph Nicéphore Niépce. On the right is a cat who accidentally took a picture of itself (2013). It’s estimated that in 2014, humans will take 880 billion photos (not including cats). In fact, 10% of all the photos ever taken were taken in the past 12 months.

In the year 2000, I was 20.
This meant that I had lived 1% of the time since the birth of Christ.
Now in 2014 I've lived over 1.5% of the time since the birth of Christ till now.
Then from there, consider that a generation is probably about 20 years over the course of history....
well, actually that shit was only like 100 generations ago. That's Jesus being born.
That's really not that long a time, when you think about it.
I know we're not all religious--I'm not--but that's crazy from a historical perspective.

I'm not seeing your point. The guillotine was pretty much the most efficient method of painless execution ever invented. Lethal injection is more barbaric as it doesn't work a lot of the time. Some US states are thinking of bringing back firing squads.
Hanging is a much older method of execution than than the guillotine, and it was still used until at least the 1960s in many countries.

The widely publicized case that just happened was due to a blown IV, when protocol usually demands two IV's, and the guy got an insufficient dosage to do him in.
People who get the usual Sodium Pentothol - pancuronium - potassium chloride boluses die, quietly, quickly, and that's that. But eurofags don't want us to have pentothol anymore - fine, we can use brevitol, or propofol.... Or fuck it, just give them the pancuronium and KCL, fuck those fucking fucks.

You can reduce heating/cooling costs by as much as 89% by using solar tech. Black plastic water drums, solar power heating/cooling systems where a panel can last half your lifetime if cared for and installed properly. You need just 22x5 feet to run a house and it can sit an an angle.

They don't tell them members who has the bullet, it's apparently so the people can tell themselves they've never executed anyone and make themselves believe they've only fired blanks.

No. Only sodium pentothol is a problem to obtain. It is no longer under patent. The last US company to make it in the US bought an Italian or Spanish (I don't remember which) subsidiary and transferred all production of SP to that company. When they found out they were the only ones making SP for the US market and that it was used in the 3 drug execution cocktail (huh huh huh) they objected and said, 'non.' Or whatever in their chimp language. The US company figured it was not worth it to start up a whole new line for a drug only used in rare cases in anesthesia (we mostly use propofol for induction now) and the 4-6 executions per year, in which they'd probably make a couple bucks profit per bottle, so they said fuck it.
I am an anesthesiologist. True story.

"Amateurism" as conceived in Coubertin's era meant rich people with enough leisure time to get really good at something and the money to bankroll their own efforts.

To be hanged, drawn and quartered was a penalty in England for men guilty of high treason. The convicted were fastened to a wooden hurdle which was dragged by horse to the place of execution. Once there, they were ritually hanged (almost to the point of death), emasculated, disembowelled, beheaded and quartered (chopped into four pieces). As a warning against further dissent, these remains were often displayed at prominent places, such as London Bridge (where now stands The Shard - the tallest building in Europe). For reasons of public decency, women convicted of high treason were burnt at the stake.
This method was abolished in England in 1870.

Napoleon Bonaparte wasn't actually short. This is a myth that's persisted for two centuries, mainly due to 2 factors:
1) His height listed at his death was 5'2", but that was in French units. In modern international units, that converts to 5'7". Not tall by today's standards, but in early 19th century France, the average height was 5'5", so he was actually of above-average height during his lifetime.
2) Most descriptions of Napoleon today are derived from old British wartime accounts, which depicted Napoleon as being minuscule for propaganda purposes. In contrast, Britain's greatest war hero of the time, Lord Nelson, was 5'6".

Whether or not you believe he was the son of God, most historian agree that there was a religious leader named Jesus around the time depicted in the Bible.

>upholding ethics in sports

A growing number of historians have concluded that there is no convincing evidence for the existence of Jesus. In the past, most historians were raised as Christians, so they a very biased point of view. There's even an Anglican priest who admitted that Jesus likely wasn't a historical figure.

Here's a personal MIND = BLOWN:
My grandfather was a builder who specialized in renovating near-derelict (mostly burned down) houses into brand-new looking places.
In the 1980's a Sri Lankan rich entrepreneur came to London and enlisted his services, buying up as many properties as he could like this and getting my granddad's crew to do them.
The Sri Lankan later invited my granddad and the whole family to Sri Lanka, all expenses paid in 1989.
On our first day there we went to the beach at Mount Lavinia, previously under British Colonial Rule until about 50 years earlier. When we got there our friend Ravinder said that most people here had never seen a white person before.
A strange stampede happened with about 1000 people running around screaming "The British are coming back!!!"
Our Sri Lankan friend got us out of there before Jumping Jack Flash could get his hand out of his pocket.
Our Sri Lankan friend went on to become a famous author and sold tens of millions of books in Asia.

Are you serious? Im an atheist and even I agree that Jesus was a real person.
He may not have been god but Roman, Egyptian, gentile and Jewish accounts that are totally separate from the "New Testament" of The Bible all agree there was a man from Nazareth who had a massive cult following and was executed by crucifixion and his cultists claimed that he rose from the dead.

The band Boards Of Canada has so many subliminal messages in their music that if you listen to their songs often enough your mind subconsiously picks up on these messages without you even knowing. Meaning that they're chaninging the way you percieve music and life in general.
