A jägermonster has to earn his hat by defeating a suitably impressive opponent. And remember, any plan that ends with you losing your hat is a bad plan.
Greek architecture was not the naked-white marble thing we're used to seeing. It was, instead, heavily decorated with bright colours. The Parthenon, for instance, was declared "The Whore of Athens" when first built, as a lot of people considered it was "excessively decorated and ridiculously big".

I was known as "The Whore of Mapleton Drive" for much the same reasons.
The movie Them! was originally meant to be shot in 3D and in colour, but the rig for it broke down, so it ended up being done in black-and-white 2D instead (except for the title, which is blue).

Same with Roman architecture and both of their statues would be painted vibrant colors.
The first city to reach 1 million residents was London.
Huh, I thought Rome did it back in the day
And Chang'an during the Tang dynasty. The ancient city is actually geographically larger than the modern city of Xi'an which is built on top of it today.

Indeed, my There's no way of knowing... reply was provoked by the toffee-nosed, imperial-excellence character of the claim about London. It was a cheap shot though; the appropriate response to such (totally unfounded) claims is always "Piltdown Man."

Thor Heyerdahl and his crew abandoned their Tigris-project of sailing a reed boat from Iraq to Pakistan and then on to Egypt when they had made it to Djibouti (five months after first setting sail) by setting fire to the boat in a protest against the instability in the middle east and east Africa.
According to the Byzantine calendar it's the year 7521.
Its like living in the future!
So you're telling me it's seventeen-thousand, five-hundred and twenty-one and WE STILL DON'T HAVE FLYING CARS?!
Good Lord! If aliens come by and challenge us to a flying-car race against the most powerful competitors in the galaxy to determine whether or not we survive as a species, they have every right to pull the trigger.

The thing is Aber, if you're just cutting and pasting to this thread without verifying your info-nuggets, you're part of the problem that gave rise to the did you know thread, not part of the solution.
And thank you for the endorsement Herr Burgomeister. Lord Dice would gladly favor your burgh with the purchase of a townhouse; He's pretty awful on equal devision of labor or wealth, but he will increase the average per capita income by infinity percent. :)

You do realize that I was the one who started the thread? Not because there was a problem, but as a fun place to post some interesting tidbits I had come across. Can I help it if some people love to nitpick?
And forgive me, but your little comment (bolded above) came across as a personal attack. So I just figured you were another one of the trolls.

I'm sorry, if I had realized you actually were toffee-nosed, an imperial citizen, or lived in London, I would have reconsidered my post.
My real point here? No one will ever blame you for checking your own facts; PILTDOWN MAN!

Meh! It's all good. Just noticed that Anklebiter vouched for you as a non-troll. I'll trust his judgement.
However, I'm not really any of those things. Although I'm not really sure what toffee-noesd is. Sounds kinky. I would like to visit London, one day. Or at least wherever the Young's brewery is.
