I like the way you make my browser quit out each time I hit the Broadcast Live button, forcing me to come back immediately to see if the post made it through or not before the crash. I'm more obsessed with that than the actual purpose of the site. Its like playing russian roulette.

Thanks!
It took awhile, but I think mostly everyone is now ported over to the new QBN as opposed to the old NT layout. It was quite the change initially, but I think it's a testament to all the hard work that was put into this site and its launch to see how quickly people got used to the improved look and feel, and now how most of the requests (which now happen pretty few and far between) are nothing short of trivial (perhaps minor would be a better word, haha) is another example of success.
:D

why does russian roulette sounds french?
- Studiospooky0
That'll be the roulette part. A roulette is a wheel of fortune used by the Soeur Famile De Destinée (That's not the actual name but its soemthing like that), a secretive sect of female fortune tellers who arrived in Paris from Romania in the 17th Century to flee the Catholic witch hunts taking place across Europe as a tail off from the much earlier Spanish Inquisition.
They studied the writings of Nostradamus and devised the roulette as a means of determining the date and time of someone's demise.
During the Franco-prussian war, the secret sect were further persecuted by the French who believed them to be spy's for the russians, and their own wheel of fortune was turned upon them as a grisly and long-drawn out way to predict their own deaths. In short, the women were forced to keep playing the wheel until it landed upon the symbol of death, and then were shot.
One woman (who's name escapes me) survived far longer than the other and here roulette would seemingly never point to her death. Anyone else who tried the wheel would eventually get the death symbol, but not this woman. After a very short while the persecutors became nervous of this woman and she saved her own life by issuing dire proclamations on anybody who tried to kill her. She eventually walked free leaving her tormentors terrified.
She was only surviving member of the sect and she vowed that their deaths would be avenged by the Russians who would crush them brutally.
The Russians picked up on this and created the game of Russian roulette as a means of torturing the captured French soldiers. It was not made famous until the Russian Revolution when their own royal family were forced to play it as a parlour game.
