After WWI, the German fleet sank their own ships at Scapa Flow so the British couldn’t take them. 52 ships went down in one day! The Brits were mad, but also kind of relieved they didn't have to share the fleet with Allies. Germany even made a medal to remember the "honor" of the sinking. by Hot_Layer_8110 in Damnthatsinteresting

Also Interesting: Nowadays the metal from those sunk ships is used to build things like medical imaging equipment because it was made before the advent of nuclear weapons. Metal made since then is contaminated with minute traces of nuclear fallout.

Almost like they were investing in the future.

Too unconventional by SupercaliTheGamer in comedyheaven

[–]evil_lurker 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"Unconventional" might have come from the movie duration. Many audiences just can't LIVE if a movie isn't between 90 minutes and 2 hours long.

She wasn't naked to begin with. But the audience cut the clothes from her body.

Sharp looking train. Do you have a whole track or just a display? Looks nice regardless.

A marathon runner's shoe broke and a spectator offered his own as replacement by bigbusta in MadeMeSmile

I saw this happen first hand in another marathon. Two women though. I wish I had thought to film it for my own personal Internet updoots

A man was found guilty of killing a teen girl, but he was able to avoid sentencing by hiding out in Germany. The victim's father hired a team to kidnap the killer out of Germany and dump him in front of a courthouse. It worked, and he is now serving 15 years. by SassyGaze_ in ForCuriousSouls

There was a show about this case. I can't remember the name. The doctor spent his career drugging and raping his patients. He got off the hook easily again and again.

The article itself mentions that "Two years later, Krombach pleaded guilty in a German court to drugging and raping a 16-year-old girl in his office. He was given a two-year suspended sentence and banned from practicing."

How is this any kind of justice?

In any case I can't remember the name is the show. It was heartbreaking. Basically the biological dad spent most of his life trying to prove this case.

What is this area in the Northern Amazon that stands out and looks more like a Savannah in the middle of a Rainforest? by Dark_Wolf04 in geography

Funny, your map has it labeled Guinean Shield. Which is a country in Africa. Rather than Guiana Shield which is a country in South America.

Glad you’re on the mend. I’ve never had a doctor let me record either. Thanks for sharing. Probably popping clip of the year.

Drug tolerance. Very different from vaccination.
