The BBC need to focus on British news not old foreign stuff!

[thanglaka]

_he wasn't even aware of distorted _*_Buddhism_*_ from then, Ceylon, was infecting _*_Brahmadesh, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos etc_*_ at that time_

~Very interesting! And the accompanying music is lovely☺

[zebriath]

I wonder if he thought the UK should imprison it's own citizens for making a joke.

[ranuvawinter]

Another fact: He was also helping Ezio Auditore😋

[ettoremorabito]

If I think him and Tesla in the same laboratory! What would really create those 2 genius !

[hourz]

wasnt even that long ago, Just think if you had 5 grampa's that lived 100 years in 5 generations would be. some people even have 3 gens of grampas alive at the same time.

[rosman]

You failed to mention he knew the earth was a Flat plain.

[mariadaluzmoutinho]

A mobilidade é também um dos pontos altos do génio...A polivalência e processamento eram uma qualidade que lhe trouxe notoriedade e diversidade face aos tempos ..na altura não havia medição do QI ....quanto seria? Certamente rebentaria com a escala do medidor!!

[anne-droid]
