Interesting Facts/Pieces of Info

[bird]

I'm a knowledge junkie and I like to learn new things and interesting facts. Post anything intellectual/factual on this thread. I'll start us off with the common correlation between the devil and goats. 

The goat is often associated with the devil for a few reasons. People think it came about this way because the lamb/sheep represents purity and clarity. This being so, they made the goat represent virility and selfishness. People also associate the devil with the goat just because of it's appearance. The goat and the devil both have horns. People also think that the horse has always subtly represented "God's animal" because of it's nobility within human nature. Such as, using for travel and combat. This being so, the lamb seeing as it doesn't do much was branded as "Satan's animal". It's also been said, that when the devil does make an appearance he often sends a herald before him to notify the devil's oncoming presence. This herald has always been described as a goat-hominid with enlarged horns and goat feet but a human torso. People often mistook this herald as the devil himself.

Interesting, huh? Post all your interesting facts here.

Blackface

Blackface was a theatrical device/makeup technique used to make white performers seemingly appear as black. It was popular in the mid 19th century. It is often considered offensive because it can imply stereotypical caricature of black people as in minstrel shows. This technique/performance was later banned from ever being used again because of the US Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s.

Here is a picture of blackface.

Nerve endings are distributed differently in every woman’s v@gina. Like a snowflake, each woman is unique in that her nerve endings are distributed in her genitalia differently than anyone else. That means, every woman needs to employ slightly different methods to achieve orgasm.

Vlad The Impaler

Vlad III Dracula better known by his moniker "Vlad The Impaler" was a 15th century ruler of Wallachia (now part of Romania). Vlad was imfamous for his use of torture and mutilation among-st war enemies and his own people. His methods of torture included disembowelment, beheading, or even being skinned or boiled alive. Still, his preferred method was impalement. He would drive a large wooden stake through the person's body and then leave them to die of exposure. After a battle against the Ottoman Turks Vlad supposedly had 20,000 men impaled and staked up along the Danube waterway. When the second wave of Turks arrived they immediately retreated due to the "forest of corpses". Vlad inspired the novel Dracula and paved the way for modern day vampires. He was known to dine in won battlefields and dip his bread into enemies blood and then consume it. Despite his incogitable methods of torture, he was known as an infamous hero due to his countless victories in war.
