"Nanda, Nanda Bayin (or Nandabayin), was the king of the Taungoo Dynasty of Myanmar from 1581 to 1599. He succeeded his father Bayinnaung.
"Upon assuming power, Nanda Bayin was faced with a rebellion begun by his uncle, the viceroy of Inwa. Nanda defeated his uncle, but was unable to subjugate Siam, at the time a vassal state of Myanmar. A Siamese rebellion was led by Naresuan, who defeated several of Nanda’s armies in the Chao Phraya river valley.
"Nanda faced another revolt in southern Myanmar, which was supported by Siam. In 1595, Nanda defended Bago, the royal capital, from a Siamese attack. Still another revolt, this time begun by his brothers (the viceroys of Taungoo, Pyay, and Inwa), occurred in 1599. Nanda was taken prisoner after his brothers gained the support of the king of Rakhine and besieged Bago.
"It is cited that Nanda died in 1599, having "laughed to death when informed, by a visiting Italian merchant, that Venice was a free state without a king."" |

"Handgame predates recorded history. The oral tradition tells us that people originally learned Handgame from the animals. Historical documentation states that games were once played for land use and female companions, and later on for horses and cattle. Today, handgame is played during traditional gatherings, powwows, tribal celebrations, and more recently in tournaments sponsored by Indian casinos. More recent versions of handgame played by tribes in the Northwest added an extra stick, or "kickstick"; this variation was promulgated by the Paiute medicine man Wovoka when he traveled to the Northwest to teach the Ghost Dance. Handgame bones and counting sticks have been identified in ancient anthropological digs. Handgame continues to spread amongst Native American tribes; the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act classified it as Class I gaming, leaving its regulation to individual tribes." |

"The Bubble Stoners are a very specific group of CTYers (originally of LAN:06-2) whose meeting place was "under the tree" specifically, the one outside the dining hall, and to your right. They were commonly seen playing frisbee, blowing bubbles, making sleeping chains, or playing the "naan game", which was invented by Josh Rathod and David Karp." |

"Unlike most strips, Ferd'nand lacks basic continuity or any cast of recurring characters other than the immediate Ferd'nand family. Ferd'nand himself has been seen working in nearly every occupation and in any location imaginable. Similarly, each strip stands alone - no story spans multiple strips. This lends a rather fantasy-like, ephemeral air to the strip." |

"The Revolver Systemy Nagana obr 1895g, aka the Nagant Model 1895, is a pistol that might have been designed by Dr. Seuss. It doesn't look all that strange but trust me, it is."
"The design goes back to the late nineteenth century, when the super-conservative Russian military finally and grudgingly agreed to modernize their arsenal. The standard sidearm of the Tsar's forces was a big .44 revolver by Smith & Wesson, a powerful and effective though old-fashioned weapon. (If you saw Doctor Zhivago, that's what Lara shoots Komarovsky with.)
"Why they chose this particular replacement is still a mystery, but the Nagant brothers of Belgium had good connections in St. Petersburg, and it is very likely some palms got greased. In any event the Imperial brass decided on the Nagant double-action revolver which had already been adopted by various countries (Sweden, Belgium, Serbia, etc.) - but in a new version, incorporating a principle the Nagants had more or less ripped off from a fellow-Belgian named Pieper.
"The result is a classic example of overengineering applied to a largely imaginary problem. A revolver, even a top-quality one, has to have a slight gap between the cylinder and the barrel; otherwise the cylinder won't be able to turn once it heats up from firing. A certain amount of gas therefore escapes at this point with each shot; and Pieper's idea, taken up by Nagant and sold to the Russians, was that this needed to be eliminated in the interests of power and efficiency." |
