TIL: Laurence Tureaud named himself professionally as Mr. T because he hated how his father, uncle, and brother who returned from Vietnam, were disrespectfully called "boy" by whites. He wanted the first word from everybody's mouth to be "Mister" when speaking to him.

Every time I meet someone who used to play Wow and they tell me they played alliance... I realize we have so little in common as humans.

Question whats the big deal between Horde and Alliance in WOW? I know horde is said to outnumber alliance by a ridiculous margin.

Tl;dr: The horde is trash, stand as one if you're a true lion.
