In Issue 34 of Phoenix (November–December 1981), R.K. Jordan reviewed Air War and its expansion, Air War '80, and concluded that the game was so complex, the best way to play was as a team of several players, each handling one airplane function, aided by a computer and lots of time. He pointed out that in his experience, one turn representing 2.5 seconds could take two and a half weeks to play.[8]

Some accounts have a gnat or mosquito enter Nimrod's brain and drive him out of his mind (a divine retribution which Jewish tradition also assigned to the Roman Emperor Titus, destroyer of the Temple in Jerusalem).[citation needed]

The identification with Ninus follows that of the Clementine Recognitions; the one with Zoroaster, that of the Clementine Homilies, both works part of Clementine literature.[43] Hislop attributed to Semiramis and Nimrod the invention of polytheism and, with it, goddess worship, and that their incestuous male offering was Tammuz.[44] He also claimed that the Catholic Church was a millennia-old secret conspiracy, founded by Semiramis and Nimrod to propagate the pagan religion of ancient Babylon.[45] Grabbe and others have rejected the book's arguments as based on a flawed understanding of the texts,[45][46] but variations of them are accepted among some groups of evangelical Protestants.[45][46]

However, it is in fact Daffy Duck who refers to Fudd as "my little Nimrod" in the 1948 short "What Makes Daffy Duck",[56] although Bugs Bunny does refer to Yosemite Sam as "the little Nimrod" in the 1951 short "Rabbit Every Monday".

anyway,

On November 11, 1809, during the Napoleonic wars over Spain, wherein Denmark supported the French Empire, the City Council of Huéscar fancifully decided to declare its own war on Denmark. This event was swiftly forgotten until it was rediscovered by a local historian in 1981. This led to a symbolic peace ceremony on 11 November 1981, wherein the city mayor and the Ambassador of Denmark publicly shook hands.[4] No such war was conducted during the intervening 172 years and no conflict or injury occurred.[5][6]

I’d say smoke and mirrors generally means fake/misleasding. “Elon musk claims to be an engineer but it’s all smoke and mirrors”

I feel that "baffling" used to be more weighty in older use and is less so now(?) like how someone would use 'an awesome power' in old literature, but this is all my personal impression of how the usage has changed

I do like the term 'baffling them with bullshit' and will begin rotating it in again for work bs
