Jesus Christ spent 18 years in India, visiting Jagannath Temple, and Ladakh monasteries. These 18 years have been erased from Bible.

His gap year(s)?

My daughter has been tracking her husband and her daughter with that for a few years now.

Seems like not a horrible idea for keeping up with a teenager but it's sad she had to use it for her used to be drunk and stupid all the time husband.

If measured as percentage of the entire wealth of the world he owned,  Elon Musk is a down right pauper next to what some believe to have been the richest private individual in human history.   That fat cat is Marcus Licinius Crassus, the 1st century BC roman triumvir and colleague of Julius Caesar.    He is estimate by some to have been worth roughly 3% of the entire world’s wealth.    In modern terms that is equivalent to a person having a net worth of 12 trillion, 40 times that of pre-twitter Elon, or roughly equal to the value of annual economic output of china.

however wealth did not satisfy Crassus.  he wanted glory as well.  rather than buying roman equivalent of twitter abs laying off half of the employees, Crassus did the more manly thing by first leading an roman army to victory over a gladiator rebellion, crucifying 6000 captured gladiator along 130 miles of a roman road, then leading another roman army to total defeat against the Parthian empire.

The Parthian appreciated Crassus’s lust for wealth, and helped him satiate his greed by pouring molten gold down his throat.    it appears this satiated finally his greed for good.

This scene from Mad Men? The one where Conrad Hilton's legitimately annoyed that Don Draper can't put Hilton on the Moon?



It's real. Not only that, but Hilton's been working on it on and off since 1958.

Columbia Pictures once offered Steven Spielberg a scandalous amount of money to remake ‘Harvey’. He agreed, on the condition that they convince Tom Hanks to take the title role. What he didn’t tell them is that he and Hanks had talked for years about how wrong it would to remake that particular film.

Hanks’ response to Columbia was, ‘You people don’t have enough money to get me to try to upstage Jimmy Stewart.’

When you print gray, it doesn’t come from the black ink, it comes from the colour ink. And if the magenta ink isn’t working, it comes out as a pale green.

In 1943, the US Army finally built up a sufficient supply of condoms for the troops stationed in England because the early ones, supplied by the British, were found to be “too small.”
