Clicked on it while reading about those micronations, had a look again and seems they also had a goat as president.

And since it's currently EURO2012 have a look at this, for anyone interested:

Reminds me of:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_truce

Early in WWI, there was a temporary truce to celebrate Christmas. During the break in combat, soldiers from opposing climbed out of the trenches to play football with one another. Afterwards, they went back to killing each other for a few years.

Just read the link


While escorting Convoy PQ-13 in March 1942, she and other escorts were in combat with German Narvik-class destroyers. She hit and sank the German destroyer Z 26, and then launched a torpedo attack. One of her torpedoes had a faulty gyro mechanism possibly affected by the icy waters. The path of the torpedo formed a circular arc, striking the Trinidad and killing 32 men.

This is pretty funny I think... Maybe not that weird of a Wikipedia article though.


I feel like 95% of SC2 players suffer from this


Man, this is so true. The better i get the worse i realise i am, and then when i hear my -diamond-platinum friends talking about their understanding of the game it makes me cringe so bad, even though i know i was the same at their level.

I feel like you only realise how bad you are at this game when you get to mid masters, and i say that as a mid masters player, so maybe i am still over exaggerating my skill ^^


This isn't true, I'm a silver player and I refuse to use a keyboard, it just slows me down. Last night flash played and won a game without a keyboard. All you gold + players can call me a noob for not using a keyboard, but now that the best player in the world doesn't use one I think a lot of players owe me an apology.

Not so subtle troll.

Why does anything sarcastic or satirical have to be a "troll?" It was meant to be a joke.

On topic: Wow, that is odd. Maybe one day the current Russian government will release what really happened there, sounds like some sort of secret nuclear experiment or maybe the hikers found something they weren't supposed to see.
