Look, being two meters taller than your peers in middle school is kind of a traumatic experience. You wouldn't understand.

Kordofan Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis antiquorum)

Cameroon, Chad, Central African Republic, and Sudan

Status: Critically Endangered (subspecies)

Threats: loss of habitat, human population growth, hunting, military conflict

---

First of all—giraffes are SO WEIRD anatomically when you really look at them. Their necks are so thin where they’re attached to their heads.

There are (disputably) nine subspecies of giraffe, mostly distinguished by their patterns of spots! Also, fossils show that giraffes roamed in West Asia and India in prehistoric times. This particular subspecies has been hit by drought and civil unrest in its area, causing populations to go down.

But, my question is—Why do we not still call them the CAMELEOPARD?

pagana Graeca me rogavit quae fuerint deierationes Graecorum antiquorum, ut 'mehercle' et 'ecastor' Latine – ego nescio, itaque rogatum tibi fero

Veterum graecōrum dējerātiōnēs aliae omnīnō sunt ac rōmānōrum, sed, quae ad deōs pertinent, similiter videntur ūsurpātae. Exemplī causā ‘μὰ τὸν Δία’ per Jovem jūrātiō est, cuj cōnsimilēs plūrēs sunt aliae, utputa ‘μὰ τὸν Ποσειδῶ’ per Neptūnum.

Etiam, ut ajunt, Crētae rēx quīdam statuit, nē quis per deōs dējerāret, itaque ūsuī venīre dējerātiōnēs per animālia, utputa ‘μὰ τὸν κύνα’ per canem. Hae similēs mihi videntur anglicae ‘goshdarnit’ prō ‘goddamnit’, quia minus opscaenae aestimantur (ut crēdō).

Vidētur mortālīs immortālium nōmina, quotquot sunt, post μὰ aut μὴ dīxisse. Amīcus autem ā mē rogātus prōtulit quandam sententiam commūnicātū dignam: ‘Ἡράκλεις, εὐφήμει, ὦ Σώκρατες’, quod est ‘mehercule, pāx, ō Sōcrates’. Hōc exemplō etiam deī nōmen vocātīvum ūsurpārī sine μὰ μήve vidēmus posse.

Omnia ferē hīc scrīpta mē, quae omnium graecārum litterārum ignārissima sum, docuerant meī Ἑνὼχ et Ὑπερίων sodālēs, quōrum scientiam ad caelum ferō 😄

Charles "Lucky" Luciano is considered the father of organized crime, helping found the National Crime Syndicate, which was an alliance of several criminal organizations, mostly made up of the Italian-American Mafia and Jewish Mob. The Patek Philippe Ref. 1516 he owned was eventually given to Joseph Bonanno in Palermo, Italy, in 1957. If you haven’t heard of Joseph Bonanno, you should know that he became the boss of the Bonanno Crime family at 26 years old and was the inspiration for the classic film "The Godfather." Luciano’s Patek Philippe was auctioned off in 2009 for only $36,000 USD and less than a year later it sold for a whopping $300,000.00! Pablo Escobar was a Colombian drug lord who was the founder and sole leader of the Medellin Cartel. Called “The King of Cocaine”, Escobar became the wealthiest criminal in history with an estimated net worth of $30 billion USD at the time of his death in 1993. The Medellin Cartel distributed powder cocaine and smuggled it into the United States. Escobar is known to have owned a Rolex Day-Date encrusted with aftermarket diamonds. Rumor has it that this watch was valued at $70,000 USD but sold for just $8,500 in a private warehouse auction in Colombia. However, there are conflicting reports of whether or not this auction ever even happened. Finally, Jiro Yanagawa was a leader of the Yakuza in Japan. Growing up poor, he rose through the ranks of the Yakuza quickly, eventually setting up his own organization with thousands of men. Yanagawa wore the iconic Patek Philippe Nautilus. The version he owned was yellow gold and encrusted with diamonds throughout the bracelet, dial, and bezel. The piece, ref. 3800/108, was sold at auction by Antiquorum Hong Kong in 2015 for $96,000 USD. (at Gaetano's Restaurant) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpxw8Ctr633/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Perpetual lamp, or inextinguishable lamp. Some of the moderns imagined that the ancients had lamps they locked inside tombs, and that their light lasted forever, because these lamps were filled with a kind of oil that never dissipated.

Among the examples they cited to support this error, the most famous is the one in the sepulcher of Tulia, daughter of Cicero, discovered under the pontificate of Paul III in 1540. It is said that in this tomb, as well as in those around Viterbe, many lamps that only expired when exposed to air were found; these are real fables, whose origins come from reports made by workmen hired to shove the dirt off these tombs. These workmen have seen a bit of smoke, a light flame or fire coming out of the monuments they were excavating, and having found lamps in the area, thought that these had just expired. Not much more was necessary to establish the eternal lamps, while it was only a phosphorous very common in our own cemeteries, and in places where we bury animals. This phenomenon is produced by the fat content, which, after being concentrated, escapes once in the presence of new air, subtilizes and ignites.

However, the false existence of inextinguishable lamps adopted by Pietro Sancti-Bartholi, gave us his collection of sepulchral lamps from the ancients, engraved in copper plate and subsequently illustrated with expert observations done by Bellori.

These two works were followed by the treaty of Fortunius Licetus, de lucernis antiquorum reconditis, in which he flaunted great erudition without teaching us the secret of the perpetual lamps. Cassiodore, who lay claim to possess it, did not persuade anyone; Kircher and Korndoffer were not any more successful. Joining them was abbot Trithemius, who assured that his oil of sulfur, borax and spirits could burn without any waste. The slightest dabbling in Physics is enough to refute all chimeras of the sort. There is neither oil that is not consumed when lit, nor wick that burns for a long time without fuel. It is true that the one made of asbestos illuminates without loss of substance and without being necessary to blow it out, but not without fuel, and not after its fuel has been consumed; it is an impossible marvel. The wick could burn for a year in the lamp of gold consecrated by Callimachus in Minerva’s temple, because the oil of this lamp was not allowed to dry out and because it was changed secretly. So, what Pausanias and Plutarch tell about the lamps consecrated in the temples of Diana and Jupiter Ammon, which burned for years on end without consuming oil, was based upon the stories invented by charlatan priests, interested in persuading the common people of these wonders.

Congregationum Benedictinorum Confoederatio

Westerse kloosterorde geïnspireer deur die Heerskappy van Benedictus van Nursia, op sy beurt afgelei van die sogenaamde "heerskappy van die meester", gesentreer op lewe in gemeen en samewerking, beide geestelik en materieel; die klooster b. dus neem dit die vorm aan van 'n selfversorgende gemeenskap, onder leiding van 'n abt. Sedert die Middeleeue het die Benediktynse abdye belangrike ekonomiese sentrums, kerns van kultuur en beskawing gevorm, en, deur hul scriptoria en biblioteke, sentrums van bewaring en oordrag van antieke tekste. Sterk stukrag is aan die Benediktynse kloosterwese gegee deur pous Gregorius die Grote, wat kloosters in Italië gestig het en Augustinus van Canterbury na Engeland gestuur het (596), en deur Benedictus van Aniane, wat, nadat hy die bestaande kloosterreëls vergelyk het, daarin geslaag het om bowenal dank te hê aan Ludovico il Pio, die Benediktynse reël aan al die gemeenskappe van monnike wat in die Karolingiese ryk bestaan. Uit bevel b. in die volgende eeue is baie gereformeerde ordes gevorm, insluitend die Cluniac (van Cluny), die Cisterciënzer (van die abdij van Cîteaux, Frankryk), versprei deur die werk van Bernard van Chiaravalle, die Vallombrosan en die Camaldolese. Die pouse het sentralisasie probeer bevoordeel, deur die algemene hoofstuk. Onder Leo XIII is 'n Konfederasie van Benediktynse gemeentes gestig (1893), onder leiding van 'n abt-primaat

Ordo monasticus occidentalis a Regula Benedicti Nursia inspiratus, vicissim derivatus a "regula domini", in vita communis et cooperationis, tam spiritualis quam materialis; ad monasterium b. ita formam propriae communitatis ab abbate praepositam accipit. Ab Medio Aevo, abbatiae Benedictinae centra oeconomicos magni ponderis, nucleos culturae et humanitatis constituerunt, et, per eorum scriptoria et bibliothecas, centra conservationis et transmissionis antiquorum textuum. Impetus monasticae Benedictinae a Gregorio Magno pontifice maximo, qui monasteria in Italia fundavit, et Augustinum Cantuariensem in Angliam misit (596), et a Benedicto de Aniano, qui, collatis regulis monasticis, in primis gratias egit. ad Ludovicum il Pium, Regula Benedictina ad omnes communitates Monachorum in imperio Carolingiano existentes. ex ordine b. Sequentibus saeculis multi ordines reformati formati sunt unum Cluniacum (a Cluny), Cisterciense unum (ab abbatia Cistercii, Gallia), divulgatum per Bernardi di Chiaravalle, Vallis Umbrosae unum et Camaldulensem unum. Summi Pontifices mediante capitulo generali favere conati sunt. Sub Leone XIII instituta Congregationum Benedictinorum Confoederatio (1893), ab Abbate primate petita
