Quote:Just thought I'd take the time to point out that today is May 29th - the anniversary of the fall of Constantinople to the Turks in 1453. An Empire that lasted 1120 years and 19 days.
A Black Day for the West...
But what happened on May 10th, 333, that in your opinion began this great Empire? :wink:
