Hamas kills 1200, takes 250 hostages and Israel kills 47,000 mostly women and children. That seems weird, but it tracks with what other genocides result in.

Andúril is Aragorn's sword from LOTR. The company intentionally stole the name.

My favorite is the fact that Microsoft intentionally left a bug in Excel that treats 1900 as a leap year when it wasn't so they could maintain compatability with Lotus 1-2-3. And at this point fixing it would cause nearly every date value in excel files to display as off by one day and break a bunch of date formulas.

Well Greece wasn't ever a British colony, so they didn't have as many opportunities to steal artifacts and culture as they did with, say, Egypt or India

And shepherds we shall be.

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee.

Power hath descended forth from Thy hand.

That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.

So we shall flow a river forth to Thee.

And teeming with souls shall it ever be.

In Nomine Patris, et Fili, et Spiritus Sancti."
