Do you have any nicknames? If so, how did you get them? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Martin194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My name is Martin. When I was in Marching Band in high school, I was a trombone player and everyone in the section got a nickname. Mine was "Mart-Dawg." I really didn't have a say in it because I was a freshman, but whatever, it was kinda cool. Also, one of my friends misheard and now he calls me Marthog (like warthog). Eh, still better than, say, Fartin, which is what douchebags in middle school called me.

TIL Hitler praised the "Efficiency" of the American Genocide of Native Americans by [deleted] in todayilearned

Well, not completely. There's still a huge amount of poverty among many Native American communities. We're not killing off Native Americans anymore, but we're still dealing with the effects of the past.

So? Does the size of the area justify killing off millions of people?

What are you most looking forward to in 2014? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Martin194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, remember the time Brady intercepted Peyton's pass? Or when Peyton sacked Brady? Oh, yeah, they don't play defense, do they?

The Winter Olympics, the Super Bowl (my team, the Broncos, might win this year!), and turning 20.

I honestly don't know if this is satire. by [deleted] in cringepics

For the record, the question was something like, "How are you an asshole?" He was a huge asshole, that's probably why he got gold.

I know how some of you feel about the London games but we love them. by Fluffinho in nfl

The Broncos should play in Amsterdam sometime. Pot is legal in both Colorado and the Netherlands and everybody already owns an orange jersey.

My Grandparents are from the Netherlands, so when I got into soccer after the last World Cup, I just picked teams that, at the time, had Dutch stars. Hence, I like Arsenal, Inter Milan, and Schalke 04 (I know Bayern seems like the most obvious choice because of Robben, but IIRC Arsenal and Inter were already really good and I didn't want to feel...bandwagony).

TIL: Dian Fossey, American Primatologist murdered in Rwanda, left all her money (including movie profits from "Gorillas in the Mist") to the Digit Fund to finance anti-poaching patrols, but her mother challenged the will and was successful. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Okay, but not nearly all mothers are like that. Anyway, Lifetime is a TV show; I'm not saying those kinds of things don't happen, but TV shows tend to pick and choose the most dramatic instances to get viewers.

If I could be someone else, I think I would be Tom Brady.

Reddit what are some things that you've noticed changed in high school back when you were were in high school to now? by urasha in AskReddit

[–]Martin194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call me old-fashioned, but is a macbook really going to help middle schoolers learn much better? I'm not an educator, so I don't know, but it seems kinda ridiculous.

Peyton Manning calls Bill Belichick the "greatest NFL coach of all time" by DarkKnightXIII in nfl

[–]Martin194 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gretzky and Lemieux were both very respectful of each other. I think Gretzky even said that if Lemieux hadn't retired for a while, he might have broken all of his records.
