Did You Know: Argonians natural poison resistance also applies to alcohol? It is very difficult for an Argonian to get drunk because of this.

Kalta Minor Minaret in Khiva, Uzbekistan

When construction of this minaret started out, it was meant to be the tallest in the world. However, when its creator, Muhammad Amin Bahadur Khan, died in battle, construction was abruptly stopped. Hence Kalta Minor is a short stubby incomplete minaret.

This is a hilarious mistranslation actually. I suspect it originally said something along the lines of "Impregnerad mot vatten", i.e. "Water proof".

Impregnering is the process of making a material resistant to water/heat. The swedish word for water (vatten) is similar to the word for goblin (vätten) so I guess there was a mixup.

It's neat to read stuff like this, but the fact that it happens once on a soon 2 years old post on Tumblr is part of what keeps me from producing too many information ressources (Maps here) beyond personal interest. (Almost) Nobody on social media is interested in maps has been my experience. I rarely visit Tumblr overall anyhow by now.

“After every atrocity one can expect to hear the same predictable apologies: it never happened; the victim lies; the victim exaggerates; the victim brought it upon herself; and in any case it is time to forget the past and move on. The more powerful the perpetrator, the greater is his prerogative to name and define reality, and the more completely his arguments prevail.” -Judith Herman
