"Germany had concentration camps that were actually seperate from the death camps."
If you mean POW camps, you're right. All the other camps were part of a system that eventually transported people to a deathcamp. Those can hardly be seen as a seperate unit.
My professor of modern history said it when we were on the subject of Napoleon.
Recently it was in QI as well (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QI_%28G_series%29):
"Despite all the claims, many of the world's greatest dictators weren't short, and there is no proof that shorter people are more power-hungry than taller people, otherwise known as the Napoleon complex. Napoleon was above the average height at 5'7". The reason many think he was short was because the British cartoonist James Gillray. His most famous depiction of Napoleon was a picture of him standing on George III's hand in a sort of Gulliver's Travels sort of way. He was actually 3 inches taller than Nelson. Stalin was 5'5", Mussolini was 5'6", Franco was 5'4", Hitler was 5'8". Some exceptions include Idi Amin who was 6'4", the same height as Stephen, Fidel Castro was 6'1" and Mao was 5'9", which exceptionally tall for a Chinese person."
Aro, ik heb WMP gedesinstalleerd in mijn WinXP en ik gebruik alleen VLC. Als ik met Firefox de link open, dan komt de WMP toch naar boven en speelt die de boel af (net zoals je IE opent met windows update, de kerncomponenten blijven gewoon zitten)
Do NOT use capitals with every single word, it's incredibly annoying to read.. 
"Minister of Independence - Willem van Oranje, De Zwijger, Vader des Vaderlands"
The man was never really keen on obtaining independence
"hehehe Napolean - Minister for equal heights"
This seems one of history's hardest to get rid of myths. Napoleon was taller than what was average in his time...
Apart from the fact that those camps were not at all designed as an industrious machine to kill hundreds of people on a daily basis..
Tom Cruise is quite an accomplished actor. Unfortunatly, he's become batshit insane and that crushed his carreer quite a bit..
Anyhoo, he was excellent in most of his films: Interview with a Vampire, Born on the Fourth of July, Eyes Wide Shut, Magnolia and The Firm.
And like all other mortals he made a few bad choices: Cocktail
Don't forget the Spruce goose. It has never been defeated in combat!
Same goes for John Cage:

"Islamic fundamentalism is a pretty big movement and even more moderate muslims have some sympathy for it even if they don't always support it."
That's an overgeneralisation comparable of other popular ones like "Americans are ignorant", it just doesn't work..
The best Fighter-Plane would be Starscream or something.. He probably knows some martial arts stuff..
A more decent comment will follow when I have more time

Some might say that those Quranburners are but a small fraction of the people of America. That's very true, but the same goes for the Islamic terrorists. Both are pointless and stupid..

V. Kemp, quit insulting Khaz Modan, or the banhammer will fall!
"But what colour racing suit will the new Stig have?"
No idea, red perhaps?
I hope the new Stig will look as awesome as the previous one. I don't think the Black Stig looked cool at all..
It's a pitty the myth has unraveled. I liked The Stig, he was sort of a superhero; but now we know his identity, that special aura is totally gone. Now, The Stig is merely a man..
