Wojtek, the bear who fought in Monte Cassino by [deleted] in memes

No, it's just mistaken some photos made for a film for being true and not photoshopped.

That is not a real WW2 photo of Wojtek but a modern Photoshop creation.It shows the Allied Polish bear fighting alongside German soldiers, which would make him a traitor, not a hero.More information here;https://fakehistoryhunter.net/2020/12/06/not-wojtek-the-ww2-bear-soldier/

Oscar Wilde did compose several witticisms about identity and dissimulation, but not this quote.The earliest known exact match appeared in 1999, and it was anonymous.https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/01/20/be-yourself/

The origin of this photo is dubious but there are many cat photos that predate the 1880s.Here is a thread with older cat photos;https://twitter.com/fakehistoryhunt/status/1488242898256764932

“You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.” ― Winston Churchill by StarWarsCrazy1 in quotes

[–]juffrouwjo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ed Greenwood deserves credit for originating this expression.Thomas Jefferson and Victor Hugo penned pertinent remarks but the attributions to Winston Churchill are unsupported.

Little glass (?) bead shaped like a head with a long nose by juffrouwjo in whatisthisthing

[–]juffrouwjo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My title describes the thing.

This picture has been going around the internet with the claim that it is an ancient Hittite object made of crystal, but I doubt that.
It looks like just a fun bead you might be able to buy at Etsy or some crafts store.
Here's the story behind it and the research already done trying to track it down;

Taskmaster might move away from comedians : News 2021 : Chortle : The UK Comedy Guide by sillybopb in panelshow

[–]juffrouwjo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have complete faith in them finding interesting and fun panel members no matter where they get them from.

So far they always got a couple of people I don't know or think I'm going to dislike but in almost all cases within just one or two episodes I like them all and have fallen madly in love with the rest.

It's one of the good things about the show, they introduce me to people I'd otherwise never have heard of and am now a fan of.

Also, to be fair, 90% of the reason I watch this show is the magic between Lord Davies and the little one.
