Silly Statement

Today, dueling is against the law. However, did you know that it's forbidden by the Catholic Church because it involves a double sin, the desire to kill, and the willingness to die? Believe it or not.

In a moment, I'll tell you about one of the silliest statements ever uttered by a head of government. While Taji Mohammed Pasha was both Turkish grand vizier and commander-in-chief of the Turkish armies in 1711, when a powerful Turkish army encircled a Russian army commanded by Tsar to the Great, near the river-proof in Moldavia, Romania. No power on Earth seemed capable of

saving the Russian army. Yet the Turkish commander led his country's mortal enemy escape. Later, when the grand vizier was asked, why? He said, if I took the Tsar prisoner, who would rule Russia? Believe it or not.
