In 1884, Ulysses S. Grant was dying of throat cancer and was dead broke.
His money was wiped out by a swindler who stole his fortune.
Desperate to leave something for his wife, he agreed to write his Civil War memoirs and was close to signing a contract for a meager 10% royalty.
Mark Twain stepped in, called the deal robbery and offered Grant 70% of the profits through his own publishing company.
Grant raced death to finish the book, completing it just days before he died in July 1885.
It became one of the greatest memoirs ever written.
The royalties left his widow nearly half a million dollars, about $16 million today, and the book has never gone out of print.
@JayAllen1313@beautheory@K_Osieglewski My Dad used to say that they were tough and good infantrymen, considering how much shit the Tommys take from their women.
A Muslim passenger:
"Excuse me, can you turn off the music?"
The driver:
"Why?"
The passenger:
"Music is haram."
The driver:
"Why is music haram?"
The passenger:
"Because there was no music in the time of prophet Muhammad."
The driver:
"Well, get off then. There were no cars back then either. A camel will come pick you up."

@thedailybeast Hate to say this but its true! The Trump administration hasn't accomplished anything worthwhile since last year! Rubin can only give half answers because he cant list anything Trump has done other than start wars and inflation
@Untel667@elspirito1 Eisenhower had no qualms about screwing over George C. Marshall to further his political ambitions. Once people learn how ambitious Ike was, the idea that Ike could be complicit in Patton's so-called accident, seems more plausible.
@BobbyWilson1004 Bobby, Dabo is one disingenuous unpolished cow chip. Back when UGA, Fl, UTK, AL, AU, patrons and the rest were donating $4-5 million, mid-80s- early 90s era, Clemson was routinely banking $7.5-8 million. I used to see their annual brag rag.
@BobbyWilson1004 What he doesn't say is that IPTAY has more money than Midas. Until Kirby showed up, Clemson was putting more money into football than UGA. Their facilities were light-years ahead of ours. And their alumni were more generous.
About 5000 years ago, horse nomads from the steppes conquered Europe. Still today, almost every European language descends from the one they spoke, and as much as 90% of European DNA comes from them.
What did this conquest actually look like on the ground?
@BobbyWilson1004@PeterBurnsESPN Congress can resolve it by granting antitrust exemptions like MLB (this is unlikely), or the SEC/B1G leads the Power 5 (some of it anyway) away from the NCAA. At that point, all antitrust court decisions are moot; there won't be a trust (monopoly) that is subject to the lawsuits.
@BobbyWilson1004@taracochran Our game no longer exists. Traveling fans are fewer each year. Visitors who would buy their 10-12k ticket allotment, now often return half of them. The spirit of college ball is dying. Hash marks and goal posts will change soon.
@taracochran@BobbyWilson1004 Conference championship games are simply money grabs. And in my opinion redundant. The possibility of playing the same team three times in a season is not a huge conceptual leap. And that is ridiculous.
