Are tornadoes there are just as bad as the one's in the US? There was a massive twister that passed Ringold, TX yesterday.

Not really. While they can be as massive as in the USA, we only have about 100 confirmed cases in Germany during the year, while the USA easily exceeds 900 in one year. An tornado that is equivalent to EF5 (we need to use a different scale here, the TORRO scale, because we have different damage patterns in Europe) happens about every 4 years here (but the probability of one tornado being in one of the EF-scale categories is the same as in the USA).

There are reports that about 100 years ago, almost a dozen massive (500-800 m diameter) tornadoes moved in one line through northern Germany. While almost legendary when considering the current science, the damage reports and witnesses over the large distance are conclusive.

Isn't it now technically two separate states? TCR and Slovakia?

Not just technically. They are two separate states.

Ahh, thank you. I vaguely remember reading about it in history class, but it was more of 'So yeah, that happened...now onto Desert Storm!'

German history classes were like: 5 months about the Third Reich so you could basically write a doctor thesis about it.
OK, World War 2: 20 minutes, GO!

It seems as though the 30s-45 are a giant black hole in Germany.

Also, Czech yourself before you Wrech yourself.

And to think, our history classes feature entire chapters on the Civil War and Vietnam.

Huh? How do you treat one without the other?

Pre-war Nazi Germany, then the war, seems pretty straightforward to me...

Im actually reading about the inter-war period right now, and a thought struck me. Instead of going back in time to try and kill Hitler, wouldn't it just be easier to convince the Vienna Academy of Arts to accept him as a student?

Wonder how history might have turned on an application to an arts school...

Difficult to tell of course, but seeing that the "accademy of sciences and arts" in belgrade was the originator of the whole ideology that led up to the bosnian war, it might not have changed a lot...

Went to friend's house today as he borrowed something from me and i want to erm...take it back, he already used it so i guess i can take it back now anyway, went in and nobody was home until he randomly attacked me.

I keep on saying "It's me you idiot!", he thought i was some sort of burglar, he only realized it was me when i opened the lights and i received a nosebleed in the "encounter". :facepalm:
