#12 The Director's Guild of America retired the name after a 1990s box office bomb about the subject increased negative attention to the convention. If Avatar: The Last Airbender had been disavowed, it would've been under a different name anyway.

#7 Conversely, they won a battle against themselves with only a few hundred casualties.

These Austrians, always trying to steal the German's accomplishments.
The worst friendly fire incident in history (as far) is Operation Wikinger, in which the Kriegsmarine (German Navy) opened fire on a Luftwaffe (German Airforce) bomber, thinking it was British. The bomber had standing orders to engage anyone in the area, but had been hesitating to do so... until it got fired upon. The first bombing run hit one shit, the second hit one of the wanna be rescuers. It got worse.
Tuidjy
At some point, as the rescue of the survivors was ongoing, a ship reported another aircraft attack (no aircraft were around). Someone else detected something in the water, probably a debris from the mauled ships and called in a submarine attack (no submarines were around). A bunch of brave captains started dropping depth charges and attempting to ram the submarine. Some of the charges hit lifeboats. One of the ships rammed the hull of one of the bombed out ships.
The rescue got X'd. 600 dead
DerpMeister
That whole story is at the very least excessively exaggerated but possibly just made up. A contemporary report from the Austrian military camp to the imperial court reports 150 dead after some rearguard action between Austrian Husar's and Ottoman cavalry that was indeed following the retreating Austrian army and led to casualties among the Austrian baggage train. There are no records about such battle in the chronicles of Caransebeș although other military engagements of that campaign were
DerpMeister
documented in the same chronicles. There are no records by the Ottomans about any such event let alone "discovering thousands of corpses on the field". The number of 10,000 losses made its first appearance in 1968 as an uncited claim in a history book about HRE emperor Joseph II.

#8 False, because last I knew, March 30th is followed by March 31st, not April Fool's Day. Unless the calendar has changed without my knowing.....

Newspaper articles have to be composed by an evening-ish deadline to make it to the hours-long printing process during the night followed by early AM delivery. Alaska is westmost, so timezones in addition to writing-time inhibit completing the article on the 30th in time to appear in the 31st's paper.
Observe the photograph of April 1st's edition of one newspaper to carry the story:

https://news.alaskaair.com/alaska-airlines/flying-fish/ - it seems that it was indeed reported on April 1st, but of course the text "the next day" is still wrong.

It's literally impossible to win claw machines every time. They're programmed like slot machines where the claw only has the strength to hold the prizes after so many attempts.
Munchman347
If an inspector from the State finds they've been programmed like that the machine is sealed and the owner fined... You have to have the same chance every time, and it can't be 'unbeatable'...
BloodyGarbage
Nope. It can't be rigged to never win, sure. But they all have the built in claw strength odds, tweakable by the owner.

Yep.

I think it was dark in there so he opened a window? Even today when s.ths. really bad we have a lot of sayings with dogs, like "raining cats and dogs", "vor die Hunde gehen" (go before the dogs = going slowly kaputt) or "da würde ich nichtmal einen Hund reinschicken" (I not even would send a dog in = very horrible condition in a location you don't want to enter).
PlausibleLies
This was actually shown to be kind of play on words. Although bar in English is a homograph, it's translated. The original language uses a word that is kind of like 'shuttered door', and so he can't see anything (because it's shuttered), and so he'll 'open this one' meaning the entry way, but also meaning the light. Also, my username is relevant.

Guy walked into a bar and said Ouch
TheEleventhHand
Three guys walk into a bar, the 4th guy ducked.
nopo
That is a theory. But the problem is that there's a lot of stuff we don't know the cultural context to actually know for sure what the actual joke was.
MediocreExtremist
so how do we know that, in fact, it was a joke ?
nopo
Because it's from a list of jokes.

I still don't get it

Seems to be making the assumption that the dog in the original joke couldn't see because its vision is blocked by tunics.
TheDoctorCrankenstein
Dog can't see cause dark and bunch of tunics. It goes to drink from one of the beer amphoras but bites the wrong "tube".

No
TheDoctorCrankenstein
Actually yes, kinda. The last part says the dog begins to drink from one of the jugs. Per the image, it means sucking on a tube, which in the context of the joke, the blinded dog picks the wrong "tube".
Though more likely it's a joke about the dog biting someone's dick, not sucking one.

A famous Norwegian folk singer made a song in 1989 about a traffic jam that turned into a town. It starts out with a Dane in a Skoda and camping wagon, getting a flat tire on a small bridge.
NorrinxRadd
I'm gonna have to look this song up, thank you
emptyother
Not a bad translation of the song, imo:

But the music and the singer elevates it a hundredfold, of course.
