Jan-18-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: For what it's worth, both home teams (Saturday) covered the spread and the total went over. For the next 2 games: HOU 40.5 (Opened 41.5) NE -3.0 ML: -175/+145 LAR -3.5 (Opened -4.5) CHI 49.5 (Opened 51.5) ML: -198/+164      Jan-16-26 WannaBe chessforum   WannaBe: 12m in. Not impressed      Jan-16-26 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: Zed's dead. Zed's dead. (if one is to go down the 'Pulp Fiction' path) "That is A tasty burger!!"      Jan-14-26 Chessgames - Odd Lie    WannaBe: This one is from Henry Cho: "I'm changing the caller ID of my wife's phone number to Potential Spam" If you have not seen or heard of Henry, he is worth some of your time on YouTube.      Jan-14-26 Dickson    WannaBe: Apparently, it was a "far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known"      Jan-12-26 Fischer vs V Pupols, 1955    WannaBe: I was thinking baseball bat, tire iron, or brass knuckles.      Jan-11-26 Tata Steel Masters (2026)    WannaBe: So, the Tata Steel blitz were held in India, and players have 6 days to fly to NED for the next (or 2026 first) major event... What is the flight path? Here are some ideas: https://www.flightroutes.com/CCU-AMS      Jan-06-26 Atterdag chessforum    WannaBe: <OCF> Not to mention when TV stations switch red (dem) and blue (rep) to what we know today... On a similar note, in Asia, if the stock shows red, it mean up, green, means down. Go fig.      Jan-04-26 OhioChessFan chessforum   WannaBe: This is for you, with some deeper insight on drone productions, Russian, and now with the cut-off of oil from certain S.

I've just noticed You haven't re-worked Your Bio in almost 10 days!

Aug-24-06    brankat: <1930> According to You, a spelling error is a felony. You ought to be in jail :-) Don't count on <WannaBe> to bail You out :-) Aug-24-06    WannaBe: This guy is a genius. http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/08/24/f... Aug-24-06    WannaBe: Another genius. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060824... Aug-24-06    hitman84: <Some Indians regard Hitler as just another historical figure and have little knowledge about the Holocaust, in which 6 million European Jews were systematically killed during World War II. The swastika symbol, which was appropriated by the Nazis, was originally an ancient Hindu symbol and it is displayed all over India to bring luck.> This is true! I never read much about holocaust in history books when I was a student. The same way you guys have no knowledge of what was happening elsewhere. Aug-24-06    WannaBe: First off, during my research I came across Swastika, Ontario, Canada. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swasti... Secondly, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika covers the subject of the symbol pretty well. The symbol, when used in religion, is not rotated, and has 4 dots inside the symbol's arms. The usage by the Nazi, have a 45 degree tilt, and no dots inside the arms. (You can clearly see that on the restaurant's awning.) Being a WWII buff, and a student of history, calling the Nazi's symbol a 'Swastika' is a mistake. (Probably similiar to calling American natives, Indian. Which genius gave them that name?!) Aug-24-06    hitman84: Its just like how the whole world is made to think that Indians and Pakistanis are great enemies.Which aint true. A Pakistani girl was my classmate in high school and she really enjoyed studying with us. @#$%ing politicians! Aug-24-06    hitman84: Its obvious he used the Nazi symbol as he named the restaurant Hitler's cross. Its good he changed it. There are lots of Israelis in India. Its easy to say I'm a history buff.. but to know the right facts is difficult. Aug-24-06    hitman84: http://archive.1september.ru/eng/20... Maybe they were indeed Indians(Asians) :) Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 750) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 139 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing>
