    In 1908, the Bureau of Investigation (the first name used to refer to what is today called the FBI), was created by Attorney General Charles Joseph Bonaparte, great-nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte. Spooky.[IMG]

    The leader of the failed Hungarian peasant revolt in the 16th century Dózsa György was tortured after he lost his last battle. But not by a normal way. He was condemned to sit on a heated smoldering iron throne with a heated iron crown on his head and a heated sceptre in his hand (mocking at his ambition to be king).

    During the WW2 would you have been in USA it would be much safer to be fighting in front lines, than contributing to war effort back home when it comes to injuries. Home "front" is a quite fitting name as there was over 100 000 industrial accidents in USA, compared to 17 000 men in front lines, who got their limbs torn off.

    Another related interesting fact, that POW camp is now a hotel. Can't imagine it'd be very "homely".
