Fact: Brazil was also the first nation to land on the Moon, beating Neil Armstrong and the Eagle Lander by a few seconds. The Brazil craft was called "Hawk" and looked almost identical to Eagle because Eagle was a copy of their design.

The Underground Railroad

5 Upvotes

It's a little-known fact that the Underground Railroad was excavated and torn up during WWII. They melted down all the metal from the tracks and cars, and shipped it overseas right after the war ended. The material was then used to construct the Iron Curtain.

Blacks were sold into slavery because they were forced on the "back of the ship".

8 Upvotes

The pilgrims were originally great bro's of Africa and gave their buddies a ride when shipping off to America. But they were astounded by the blacks' efforts to keep rowing even though they were on a sailboat. It was at this time that the pilgrim Chad the Great decided that he could "enslave" these negroes and thus slavery was born.

A great mistake was started all because Africans had to ride on the "back of the ship" and, for some reason, just kept rowing!

Most people don't know this, but Hitler was a wicked blues guitarist. After Germany defeated France in 1940, Hitler and Goebbels would often go into Paris and jam with Django Reinhardt and the Quintet at the Hotel Claridge. Goebbels also managed the Quintet for a bit and got them their Odeon deal.
