Drinking games

There is a drinking game based on Russian roulette. The game involves six shot glasses filled by a non-player. Five are filled with water, the sixth with vodka. Among some groups, low quality vodka is preferred as it makes the glass representing the filled chamber less desirable. The glasses are arranged in a circle, and players take turns choosing a glass to take a shot from at random.[38]

There is also a game called "Beer Hunter" (titled after the Russian roulette scenes in the film The Deer Hunter). In this game, six cans of beer are placed between the participants. One can is vigorously shaken, and the cans are scrambled. The participants take turns opening the cans of beer right under their noses; the person who opens the shaken can (and sprays beer up their nose) is deemed the loser.[39]

According to Brian Resnick of The Atlantic, Guiteau "worshiped" the group's founder, John Humphrey Noyes, once writing that he had "perfect, entire and absolute confidence in him in all things".

Despite the "group marriage" aspects of that sect, he was generally rejected during his five years there, and his name was turned into a play on words to create the nickname "Charles Gitout"

The official Russian dub of foreign films is commonly stripped of all profanities by the studios, a practice which not only waters down the director's vision but also confuses the audience, as colorful colloquial expressions are lost in the word-for-word translation, bearing little similarity with the original. Goblin's use of semantic translation prevents important plot points from becoming distorted, as villains unintentionally are transformed into comical characters when the official profanity free Russian dub fails to convey the original meaning.

There are several widely known funny examples of this softened translations, like this dialogue in Commando:
— gently caress you! rear end in a top hat! — Прощайся с жизнью! (Say "good bye" to your life!)
— gently caress YOU! rear end in a top hat! — Это ты прощайся с жизнью! (Say "good bye" to your life yourself!)

The Anti-Terrorist Brigade (Brigada Antitero), also known as BAT is SRI`s Special Actions Unit and the main anti-terrorist unit from Romania. Created during the mid `70s (as a response to the 1972 Munich Massacre) under the name of ARTA, the unit has changed its name later into The Special Anti-Terrorist Unit (USLA - Unitatea Specială de Luptă Antiteroristă).

Eight USLA members were killed during the Romanian Revolution in December 1989.

The size of the brigade is classified, but it is known that the unit has in ranks the best operatives from the Romanian military and law enforcement sector. Most of them are athletes, with excellent results in sports such as boxing, karate, rugby, judo and other combat sports.

Also, the brigade is providing security on all important airports from Romania and members of the brigade are working as air marshals on all Romanian flights.

Worst or Best?

quote:

The Coleman Frog (also known as Cornelia Webster) is a 19 kg (42 lb) taxidermy frog on display at the Fredericton Region Museum in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada since 1959. It was previously owned by a man named Fred Coleman, who ran a nearby lodge in the 1880s.

Description
The frog was captured from Killarney Lake, at which time it weighed 7.3 pounds (3.3 kg). Supposedly, the immense size of the frog was caused by the fact that Coleman fed it whiskey, baked beans, june bugs, buttermilk toddies, and whey. It is said that the Giant frog used to tow canoes and race against tomcat. It died in a "dynamite accident" and was sent to Bangor, Maine to be stuffed.

Controversy
Skeptics say that the frog is a fake that was used to promote a cough syrup that would "relieve the frog in your throat". In a 1988 report, the Canadian Conservative Institute refers to the artifact as consisting of canvas, wax, and paint. In a letter it refers the exhibit as “an amusing example of a colossal fake and deception”. The museum will not allow DNA testing to be performed on the frog, to confirm if it is real or a fake.
