OK so sab and I have been talking and there are far too many negative threads on this forum. So we are going to start a few alternative threads to the usual dribble, can everybody please stay on topic in these threads. We have threads for the wars so have your war of words in them.

This first thread pretty much explains itself, just post interesting "did you know" facts...............

Did you know?
In 1674,
Louis XIV of France was visiting a school at Clermont, he heard from the school's authorities that one of the children, a nine- year-old Irish lad named Francis Seldon, had made a pun about the king's bald head.

Louis was furious. He had a secret warrant drawn up for the child's arrest, and young Seldon was thrown into solitary confinement in the Bastille. His parents, members of one of Europe's richest merchant families, were told simply that the child had disappeared. Days turned to months, months to years, and Louis himself passed away. But Francis spent sixty-nine years "in the hole" for making fun of the king's baldness.

What do you mean suicidal?


Look at the card, its the only king that is trying to kill himself by sticking a weapon through his skull. lol

Also did you know there is only 2 one-eyed jacks in the deck?

hence when i play poker once in awhile i call the suicide king and one-eyed jacks as wild cards, making only 3 cards wild instead of 4 if call deuces or threes wild.
