that…In 1882, the press stated that in London, a prostitute named Gerda Puridle devised elongated eye lashes or “cumbrellas” to keep semen out of working girls’ eyes, which are still popular today.

…that it is currently three terra nullius (no man’s land) in the world. That is territories not claimed by any nation.
- The largest being Marie Byrd Land in Antarctica (1,610,000 km2 - 620,000 sq mi). During the cold war, both the US and the Soviet Union had their eyes on it, but these days no one seems interested.
- The second largest being Bir Tawil, a 2,060 km2 (800 sq mi) territory on the border between Egypt and Sudan. The area consists mostly of desert, and no one lives there permanently. Only bedouins pass through regularly. Neither Egypy nor Sudan wants anything to do with this piece of land.
- The smallest (technically more than one) being along the Danube (Donau), between Serbia and Croatia, where for some reason there’s small “pockets” of land that neither nation claims. The strangest being the biggest of these, where Croatia claims it belongs to Serbia, bur Sebia doesn’t want it.
One might get the idea to claim one of these territories, preferably one by Donau. Imagine…An der schönen blauen Donau. It would be good to be king

Let’s send Trump to the second one. He could be king of alllll those little grains of sand. He could also build a wall around it to keep everyone out.
We do not need to hijack this topic for Trump as well 
Nobody is hijacking anything, except you for even bringing it up. And aside from that, I started this topic.
Where is there a no content reply?
Your reply with just three thumbs down emojis has not content. I am not sure what you want to say.
For the record: I really like this topic. That is why I do not want it to be ruined by just some other Trump rants…
I quoted you and posted a valid response. That’s two pieces of content. And if you claim not to know what I meant, that’s just you showing your true colors.
Then you shouldn’t have posted your smart-assed comment in the first place. It was COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. Just you trying to start something.
And look at all the bullshit in this topic since then. All caused by you and your spiteful comment and never knowing when to keep your fingers off the keyboard.
YOU HIJACKED THIS TOPIC!

…that not everything on the internet is true 
Here’s proof of it, answer to a question from Google:
"Is there a polar bear in Tromsø?
Polar bears live all over the arctic, and once outside the city there is a risk of an encounter, but they never venture into Tromso itself."
There are no polar bears on mainland Norway!
And if you want to argue, because you’ve heard it…somewere, forget it! I’ve bloody lived in the area for over 24 years, and has visited a lot (a lot!) of times since. The only polar bears I’ve seen has been in zoo.

It’s truly mind-blowing!
On 31 December 1899, the passenger steamer SS Warrimoo was sailing quietly across the mid-Pacific, on its way from Vancouver to Australia.
The navigator finished checking the stars for the ship’s position and gave the result to Captain John D. S. Phillips:
Latitude: 0° 31’ N (just north of the Equator)
Longitude: 179° 30’ W (near the International Date Line).
First Mate Payton realized something exciting:
“Captain, we’re just a few miles from the point where the Equator and the International Date Line meet!”
The captain saw a chance to do something unforgettable.
He slightly changed the ship’s course and adjusted the speed.
The night was calm, the sky was clear, and the timing was perfect.
At exactly midnight, the SS Warrimoo was positioned so that:
-
The front of the ship (bow) was in the Southern Hemisphere, enjoying summer.
-
The back of the ship (stern) was in the Northern Hemisphere, in the middle of winter.
-
The date at the back was still 31 December 1899.
-
The date at the front had already become 1 January 1900.
This meant the ship was in:
Two different days
Two different months
Two different years
Two different seasons
Two different centuries — all at the same time!

One of the daftest things I have ever seen!
Let me be clear, I don’t mean YOU or your post (or your logic behind creating it).
I mean the idea of the pool being empty, bearing in mind the ship sank. Therefore, logically the pool will have become full again! I suspect that was the point you were making in posting this.
