^ For me, its never been more true than when taking massive amounts of MDMA. The higher you go the lower you fall has never been more accurate.

35,000,000 pills of Pervitin (aka methamphetamine) were given to Nazi soldiers in a 3 month period in 1940.

A nazi doctor also developed a pill for soldiers, code named D-IX, that contained cocaine, methamphetamine & a morphine based painkiller.

Hitler's Doctor, Theodore Morrell, would inject Hitler 6+ times a day with a concoction he called "Vitamultin-Forte" which was crystal methamphetamine. He would go into Hitler's room and hook up the IV before Hitler was even awake.

In Hitler's diaries, he wrote how many nights, when Morrell was out of the country and couldn't administer his Vitamultin-Forte, he would "go through the deepest pits of hell" (aka withdrawal) until Morrell returned with his Vitamultin.


(these facts can be found in the book The Secret Diaries of Hitler's Doctor by David Irving
 
^ No wonder he couldn't be disturbed at D-Day. Or was Hitler truly afraid of the main attack being at Callais.

That sounds like a very spurious folk etymology. The French word for news is "nouvelles", the Dutch is "nieuws".

Sorry to spoil the party, but I'm not just picking on you guys, if you look back through the thread you'll see that I do it to everyone.
 
Hot water freezes faster than cold water.

Oranges arent really orange, we artifically ripen them, they're green and will stay so for many years.

They is no such thing as 'fish'. It is not a zoologist/scientific term, rather a laymans term for many different groups of species altogether. It wasnt long ago since turtles were considered fish.
 
Nutmeg is extremely poisonous if injected intravenously.....A whale's penis is called a dork....and last but far from least is A pig's orgasm lasts for 30 minutes.

Sir, i was born and raised in Florida surrounded by oranges. Although we do artificially make them more orange especally out of season, they do infact turn orange. Many never fully turn orange, and some seem more yellow. Depends on the type. But a fully green orange is not a ripe orange.

But a Related fact:

The orange blossom is never on the tree with the oranges as it is so often pictured. Blossoms come in spring and oranges come from the blossoms. The rippen in winter.
