10 Facts About Goblins








Here are ten fun-filled goblin facts:
1. Goblins Hate Horses: While goblins excel at riding animals, they do not quite get the whole horse thing. In fact, their hatred of all things horse related is only matched by their fear of horses, who tend to step on goblins who get too close.
2. Goblins Hate Dogs: Although goblins raise their horrible, rat-faced mounts called, creatively enough, goblin dogs, as mounts, their hatred of plain, everyday dogs nearly matches their hatred of horses. Even though goblins are quite adept at riding wolves and worgs, they are quick to explain such animals are NOT dogs. Freaks.
3. Goblins Raid Junkyards: And garbage pits, sewers, gutters…anywhere there’s garbage, you can be sure goblins are nearby. Goblins are weirdly adept at crafting weapons and armor from refuse they find and relish killing people with the things they throw away.
4. Goblins Love to Sing: Sadly for goblins, as catchy as their melodies and lyrics tend to be, the subject matter of goblin songs tend to be a bit too creepy and rather disturbing to catch on in civilized society.

5. They are Sneaky Little Freaks: An excited or angry goblin is a noisy, chattering, toothy menace, but even then, he can drop into an unsettling silence in a heartbeat. This, matched with their diminutive size, makes them unnervingly adept at hiding in places you’d never expect: stacks of wood, rain barrels, under logs, under chicken coops, in ovens.
6. They’re a Little Crazy: The fact that goblins think of ovens as good hiding places reveals much about their inability to think plans through to their most likely outcome. That, and the fact that they tend to be easily distracted, particularly by shiny things and small animals that might make good eating limit their ability to execute even well thought out plans.
7. They’re Voracious: Given enough supplies, a goblin can eat nearly a dozen meals a day. Most goblin tribes don’t have enough supplies to satisfy such ravenous appetites, which is why the little menaces are so prone to raiding.

8. They Like Fire. A lot: Burning things is one of the great pleasures of goblin life. Although they’re generally careful about lighting fires in their own lairs, especially since goblins tend to live in large, tangled thistle patches and sleep on beds of dried leaves, give a goblin a torch and someone else’s home and they’re in goblin heaven.
9. They Get Stuck Easily: Goblins have wiry frames but wide heads. They like to sneak around. Sometimes the body fits where the head will not.
10. Goblins Believe Writing Steals Your Soul: The walls of goblin lairs and the ruins of towns goblins have raided are littered with pictures of their exploits, but they never use writing. Writing is not lucky. Writing steals words out of their head, and once they’re gone, they can’t get them back.

Bermuda Triangle Facts An imaginary area the fleet entered around 1340 UTC today, an infamous zone in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where ships and planes are said to mysteriously vanish. Laws of physics, paranormal episodes or extraterrestrial activity? We say it’s time to check what all the fuss is about. Triangle? What triangle? Let’s get one thing right. There is nothing official about the Bermuda Triangle. It’s not a registered territory. It’s not delimited in maps. But it’s understood that it stretches from Miami, Florida, to the island of Bermuda to San Juan in Puerto Rico. If you’re into geometry, have a look at the map below. © Google Earth So what exactly happened there that freaks people out so much? Only between 1945 and 1965, Wikipedia states that up to five planes crashed in the area, and that 10 ships sank or disappeared from 1800 to 1963. What’s a rational explanation for this? * Weather  –  The area is subjec...

Aliens. Extraterrestrials. Space Men. Whatever you call them, sightings have been around since man first gazed into the skies. And what follows are 15 signs that just may prove they very well exist. 15. Apollo 11's Sighting Let's start with NASA. Three Days into the Apollo 11 Mission, the crew reported a strange flying object not far from their location. They assumed it was a piece of the detached SIV-B rocket. That is, until they received word that it was over 6,000 miles away.  To this day, the highly-trained crew and team of NASA scientists have no official explanation for what the object could have been. Even famous astronaut Buzz Aldrin confessed to the sighting! 14. Ancient Signs of Modern Technology These actual Egyptian Hieroglyphics show what appear to be images of a helicopter, submarine, boat, and jet airplane. Many believe this is proof that aliens once visited the ancient Egyptians, arriving in their advanced tec...

9 INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE SAHARA DESERT irst of all, just where is the Sahara Desert? Take a peek at northern Africa on a map, and most of what you in fact see is the Sahara. From the Atlantic, north to the Mediterranean, and east to the Red Sea, most of Africa’s northern reaches have been swallowed up by the ever-expanding Sahara. Interestingly, “Sahara,” in Arabic, means desert. Therefore, any reference to the “Sahara Desert” is a bit redundant. Some of the acts about this massive and arid expanse can be interesting, or downright confounding! 1. It’s not even the biggest desert Despite what you may have learned in school, the Sahara desert is not actually the world’s largest desert. The largest desert in the world is…NOT the Sahara! It’s Antarctica! Still, the Sahara is pretty darn big, and getting bigger everyday. Just in the time since John Glenn first orbited the earth, it has expanded by another 250,000 sq mi to now cover over 3.6 million square miles. The S...
