clown world makes muh reich good in comparison
ah a classic sign of turkish failure
```According to one of a group of similar legends, which vary only in detail, a baker of the 17th century, working through the night at a time when his city (either Vienna in 1683 or Budapest in 1686) was under siege by the Turks, heard faint underground rumbling sounds which, on investigation, proved to be caused by a Turkish attempt to invade the city by tunneling under the walls. The tunnel was blown up. The baker asked no reward other than the exclusive right to bake crescent-shaped pastries commemorating the incident, the crescent being the symbol of Islam. He was duly rewarded in this way, and the croissant was born. The story seems to owe its origin, or at least its wide diffusion, to Alfred Gottschalk, who wrote about the croissant for the first edition [1938] of the Larousse Gastronomique and there gave the legend in the Turkish attack on Budapest in 1686 version; but on the history of food, opted for the 'siege of Vienna in 1683' version.```

That would be a Kipferl though
Haven't Kipferls been around a lot longer though?
Its the same legend
But it was mentioned in 1200 yes
sometime around then
But either way Kipferl are crescent shaped as well, and Croissants supposedly came up in the 1700's
But who the fuck knows, all we know is that the French just appropriated from us
they are pretty similar. My theory is that kipferls were around far longer and the croissant is just a more recent evolution of it
thats what records show at least, supposedly it happened when Marie Antoinette took some with her during a france visit

EL CID!!!!!!
el cid is an amazing film
Not the most accurate, but still very good
nice, in hd too
Egghead
Lightsabers instantly cauterize the wound
Wouldn't that make them more survivable then normal swords?
Perhaps
But im pretty sure it was a way not to have blood and make it family friendly
uh
I don't think family friendly was what they were going for
just a bonus
in reality it probably wouldn't do as much cauterizing as depicted
depending on how fast you swing it
actually
maybe no
idk the whole idea doesn't make much sense
they're hot enough to go through flesh and metal with ease
but somehow the radiant heat does not set the users clothes on fire
