<description><![CDATA[<p><br />
T is the 20th letter of the alphabet.</p>

<p>I is the 9th.</p>

<p>O is round like zero.</p>

<p>20+20+9+0 = 49.</p>

<p>The number 49 has no meaning whatsoever.</p>

<p>THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!<br />

13: You could be on to something.</p>

<p>Also, the Ikarus S-49 fighter jet was produced in Yugoslavia.</p>

<p>And Kid Icarus told me that he was "talking names" in defense of the B & O as still hip...way hipper in fact than Kent-based John Bailo (me).</p>

<p>I think we could sell this to <a href="http://www.fox.com/fringe/" rel="nofollow">Fringe</a>.  Tonight at 9 on FOX!</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Roman Pipinich</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>You all are stupid and not funny at all to mock one of the strongest Nazi fighters of WW II.</p>

<p>Tito led the red partisans who resisted to the max the Nazi takeover of their native Balkans.</p>

<p>Fierce and determined fighters they lived in caves, in the woods, on the run, and were valiant beyond measure. All of Europe admired these men and women.</p>

<p>Post WW II, Tito presided over the new federation country of Yugoslavia. Yes, indie communist, of course.</p>

<p>He was a strong and determined leader who made it happen for 40 years.</p>

<p>When he died, Yugoslavia splintered back into separate Balkan states.</p>

<p>A hero of the era, the real history of the liberation of Europe from fascism by shedding lots of blood and supremely valiant efforts.</p>

<p>I am Croatian and in my family village all the men went to the woods to fight the Germans. Hence, in retaliation for some supposed crime, the German Nazis rounded up many of the women, most of my female relatives, grandmother, aunts and cousins and burned them alive by burning the family home, 40 women died a horrible death.</p>

<p>Today, in that village, a picture of Tito hangs in every home. And each time I have visited in the last  two decades I am treated like a prince because of my family and the sacrifices of the War. The charred ruins of a fine large stone house still sit on the hillside, untouched for 60 years.</p>

<p>Don't sneer at Tito, bad karma.</p>]]></description>
