Henri Tragne of Marseille, France participated in five duels from 1861 to 1878. He won the first four without firing a shot, as all four men suddenly died of natural causes. In his fifth duel, it was Tragne himself who dropped dead, before anyone had the chance to fire their gun.

In the midst of World War I, the British army converted the passenger ship RMS Carmania (right) into a battleship. To avoid enemy fire, it was disguised to look like the German ship SMS Trafalgar (left). In 1914, the Carmania sank a German ship off of the coast of Brazil. The sunken ship was the Trafalgar, which had been disguised to look like the British Carmania.

After his sister’s suicide, a man vowed revenge on Harry Ziegland, the suitor who had broken his sister’s heart, prompting her to take her life. The brother shot at Ziegland, who fell to the ground. Believing his task done, the brother shot and killed himself with the same gun. However, the bullet meant for Ziegland did not strike him. Instead, it lodged itself into a nearby tree. Three years later, Ziegland was working to clear that same location and used dynamite to remove the tree. The explosion sent the bullet flying -- striking and killing Ziegland.

South African astronomer Danie du Toit gave a lecture on how death can strike anyone, at any time. Upon the completion of his lecture, du Toit popped a mint into his mouth. It slid into the back of his throat, causing him to choke to death on the spot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3ADaniel_du_Toit

Depending on your perspective, Violet Jessop is either the luckiest or unluckiest women to ever live. As a stewardess and a nurse, she was aboard the HMS Olympic when it collided with the HMS Hawke; she was on the HMHS Britannic when it struck a mine at sea, and she was aboard the RMS Titanic (above) when it famously hit an iceberg -- sinking the unsinkable ship. The three ships were “sister ships” and Jessop survived all three encounters, earning her the nickname “Miss Unsinkable”. Lalasticlala, Mynd44 are your girlfriends "unsinkable"? I know say Seun own dey "unsinkable" (Na joke o )https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violet_Jessop

Founding fathers Thomas Jefferson (left) and John Adams (right), alternately close friends and bitter rivals across their intertwined political careers, died on the same day — July 4, 1826 — the 50th anniversary of American independence, of which these two men were chief architects. At around 6 p.m. on that fateful day, Adams, unaware that Jefferson had died just after noon, uttered his final words: "Thomas Jefferson survives." You can google them up for verification if in doubt. ![]() Cheers. Lets roll http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/thomas-jefferson-and-john-adams-die

BUSTED!!! Tension As Nigeria Doles Out $258m For Saudi Mercenaries To Face ND Avengers. A staff in The Royal Embassy of The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Nigeria has confirmed to Vaxity that, the government of Nigeria and Saudi authorities have concluded plans to deploy Saudi Blackwater mercenaries to the Niger Delta region to tackle militants that have been attacking oil facilities. The deal is part of the agreement in the Saudi-led Islamic coalition against terrorism which Muhammadu Buhari signed up for on behalf of Nigeria. It is said to be worth$258m. Blackwater is being led by Anwar Eshki, a retired Major General in the Saudi Armed Forces. And these mercenaries are the once fighting for Saudi Arabian government in Yemen *Can the Federal government of Nigeria signed military coalition of $258m without the National Assembly's approval? Sentiments apart, what is President. Buhari doing?? NDA are militants but does that give him the right to do things without due process? To my mind this man is working toward civil war. Please I stand to be guided.. I saw it here. Before some people will come for my head thinking I cooked up the story http://dstvnewsafrica.com/2016/07/06/uncovered-tension-nigeria-doles-out-258m-for-saudi-mercenaries-to-face-nd-avengers/ My Ernest prayers is that this news should just be false. Cos this will send a wrong signal to our military and it will also be a blow to the president's transparency claims.

Okay so can she just travel to the USA with her diplomatic passport? |
Okay Thanks to God he didn't PVSSY-zone her. Damn!!! Did I just type that nonsense up there ![]() ![]() ? I can't believe my fingers could betray me to this extent. I'm disappointed. Mtcheeeew Walks outta thread. |
Calm down jorrr. What's the noise all about?? You guys wanted change, you voted change, now that change is what you have gotten so why screaming?? This is just the beginning. By the time Buhari is done with you guys, you'll wish for abacha or atiku. Keep living is delusion that Buhari is a man of integrity. |
Okay. He is also corrupt away thief. No peace for the wicked |
Yes. He shouldn't be let free like that. He's stealing the money same way that FG is also stealing it |
Okay. One thing bubu needs to understand is that if USA couldn't defeat Vietnam cos of the terrain, Nigerian army can't just walk in and defeat the militants cos of the same terrain. If in doubt, let him try it. Dialogue is the best way. Eat the humble pie, swallow your vomit and bring back the confab report from the archives. |
Okay |
sekem:Zombie of the highest quality spotted |
But when will she travel to the USA to shut critics up?? She's taking pictures with him now, but when time comes for the president to travel to the USA she'll shy away. I'm beginning to believe that this Aisha Buhari the first lady is the one linked to the Halliburton scandal. What do you guys think? |
Okay. Hope they're not the Libyan guys? |
Oh is it just coincidence or what??. Bosso in Niger Republic and we also have Bosso in Niger state here in Nigeria ![]() Or are we missing something here? |
Okay But when will she in the spirit of shutting Fayose up travel to the USA? Scamming people upandan Hit like if you think she's afraid to go to the USA, click share if you think she's a saint. Even the cow in the third picture looks very malnourished. Is that worth presenting as a gift? Happy holidays to the Muslims |
Wow. Bombs can't go off there. They need such a gadget where the poor Muslims are praying. Stop deceiving them Mr gov |
Chai |
Hmmmm So this guy made sure she never saw the appearing of the moon even after fasting?? That guy needs to be hanged. Rip woman. |
