2. Every two minutes, we take as many photos as all of humanity took during the 1800s.

On the left is the first photograph ever taken (1826), View from the Window at Le Gras by French inventor Joseph Nicéphore Niépce. On the right is a cat who accidentally took a picture of itself (2013). It’s estimated that in 2014, humans will take 880 billion photos (not including cats). In fact, 10% of all the photos ever taken were taken in the past 12 months.

Hanging is a much older method of execution than than the guillotine, and it was still used until at least the 1960s in many countries.

Dark Ages (historiography), the concept of a period of intellectual darkness and economic regression that supposedly occurred in Europe following the collapse of the Western Roman Empire
European Middle Ages (5th to 15th centuries AD), particularly:
European Early Middle Ages
Migration Period of c. 400 to 800 AD

not 1792, please stop being an idiot

Hugh Jackman reportedly refused the part of James Bond in a reboot of the franchise. It went to Daniel Craig, who is now the highest paid Bond in history.

Matt Damon and Jake Gyllenhaal were both reported to have turned down the lead role in James Cameron's Avatar. It went on to become the highest grossing movie of all time.

Mel Gibson turned down the part of Maximus in Gladiator. It netted Russell Crowe an Oscar for best actor.

Jack Nicholson turned down the iconic role of Michael Corleone in The Godfather, saying "At the time I believed Indians should play roles written for Indians and Italians should do the same."

>>547767584

The firing squad is flawless? I don't remember the guy's name, but in the late 1800's a dude was executed by the firing squad, and everyone missed his heart, he was lung-shot and died by drowning in blood over 20 minutes or so.

They don't tell them members who has the bullet, it's apparently so the people can tell themselves they've never executed anyone and make themselves believe they've only fired blanks.
