"A Finnish sniper named Simo Häyhä was able to kill around 500 Soviet soldiers in the Winter War of 1939 by literally hiding in the snow and taking random shots every couple hours. In March 1940 he was struck in the jaw by an explosive bullet and seriously wounded. He was very disfigured, unconcious, and presumed dead when he was found, and later he was thrown onto a pile of bodies. A fellow soldier noticed a leg twitching in the pile and they brought him home alive. He lived to be 96."

Simo Haya did not kill 500+ Soviets with iron sights because he was an expert marksman and 200+ with a machine pistol because he was absolutley bad@$$ in 100 days for someone to claim he took "random shots". F@#k whoever wrote that.

#5 the 80 year war wás in the netherlands. The spanish had conquered Holland during this war and although there was a long period without fighting they were formally still at war. Your story discribes the first big win of the Dutch to kick out the spanish in the city of Brielle (near Rotterdam) . From there the battle spread to the North by flooding al the land and use boats and in winter probably skates to free each city they passed but that still took a few years to get the Spanish out completly.

#36 partly true. There were at one time so many due to the fact that is was considered fashionable for everyone from everyday life to be preserved for a time that the Egyptians used them as fuel for their steam locomotives.
