"Between the 16th and 18th century, slave ships from Africa raided the Mediterranean and enslaved up to a million people. Sometimes entire islands were captured and taken away. Raids were made on seaside towns of Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, England, the Netherlands and as far away as Iceland, capturing men, women and children. It was so bad that people stopped living on long stretches of coast in Spain and Italy."
"Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt went for a swim in the ocean and just disappeared. To honour him we now have the Harold Holt Memorial Swimming Centre."

#30 Why is Rudy Guliani passing the bar exam a surprising fact from history? He was the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.

Cene,
Your comment regarding #5... If you were to research "Ecclestiastes", a book in the Old Testament, you might understand the connection.

Loren,
Perhaps coincidentally. But it's true, the caption doesn't match the photo. It's simply a mistake.

#11 Not to worry, bud, there really wasn't a lot to tell. People found food, ate food, fought each other, f@#ked, and made sacrifices to strange gods. Things haven't changed all that much, really.

Those victims don't have a lot of influence in Hollywood, so even thought there have been many mass genocides in human history, all we ever hear about is the holocaust.
Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over......
