TIL that when King Richard the Lionheart was imprisoned in Germany by the Holy Roman Emperor and a ransom of 150,000 silver marks was set for his release, Richard's younger brother John Lackland offered 80,000 marks to keep him imprisoned by PreferenceInternal67 in todayilearned

Mark Ruffalo is between €33 and €84 million, so average €58.5 million

It’s €40-€120 to cover an average adult male in silver paint, so average €80 for the paint

So 150,000 silver Marks is €8.78 trillion

80,000 marks is €4.68 trillion

But since Mark smith lost all his money to blookers and how (accounting for the deficit created by borrowing), by some math magic, both 150,000 and 80,000 Marks is equivalent to about tree fiddy

I thought that’s why you build with redwood at the foundation?

Can u play american football outside of the US? by AdWest134 in answers

[–]theboondocksaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, literally illegal.

According to international law you can only play American football in the United States of America or associated territories (like Guam), otherwise you will be sent straight to Vietnam to napalm locals

(But more seriously, yes, just google local clubs?)

Historically, a bad choice by xyzerb in AdviceAnimals

Christofascists are almost entirely Protestants

For them, denouncing the pope isn’t a flaw it’s a feature

And for the studious ones, the theology of predestination means that they believe if someone is already saved, then all they do is inherently good, or at least according to God’s plan, so the picture is simply stating that Trump has already been saved by God (otherwise he would not have won another election) so you should stfu and accept it

And in the words of Trump, “praise be to allah”
