Zawisza Czarny z Garbowa (Zawisza the Black of Garbów, also known as The Black Knight; c. 1379 in Stary Garbów, Poland – 1428 in Golubac, Serbia), Sulima Coat of Arms, was a Polish mediæval knight and diplomat.
He won many tournaments and came to serve as a model of knightly virtues. His nickname is due to his dark hair and complexion, but he also wore black armor, which survives and is currently located at Jasna Góra Monastery.
In 1410 he took part in the battle of Grunwald against the Teutonic Order. After the battle he proposed a peace treaty between the King Jagiełło of Poland and King Sigismund of Luxembourg of Hungary, which came to be known as the treaty of Lubowla.
In 1416 he participated in a tournament in Perpignan in which he defeated the well-known knight John of Aragon. The following year, he became the subprefect (starosta) of Kruszwica. Soon after, he married Ofka, the widow of the king’s brother, Wenceslaus King of Bohemia.
After Sigismund’s defeat at Kutná Hora, Zawisza was captured by the Czechs and subsequently released for a high ransom. In 1428, he fought the Turks at the Battle of Golubac on the Danube in modern-day Serbia. He was captured and probably murdered.
This is fail.
It’s just an inside joke you don’t know. Don’t sweat it.
That’s not what your mom said last night.
So your the lady who was standing in the corner with the video camera! I would have said “hi” if I had known it was you (after taking the ball out of my mouth).
That’s cool. We documentary filmmakers like realistic responses from our subjects.
And we producers love the money we make selling the footage.
Here is your hefty cut of the action: 50%
Sweet!
Actually… 66 states according to this flag, not 75.
I counted 76 myself. But there is still way more than 52
… Officially, there are only 50 states, and some territories.
I also counted 66 stars, though.
Actually, there are 60, 57 of which Mr. Obama has been to ;D
You spelled “you’re” wrong…
yo momma is fail
Hey, funny you mentioned him. I am reading the book “Teutonic Knights” where he is mentioned
Weird that… Like when you learn a new word or fact and then all of a sudden you hear it everywhere?
Exactly
Maybe it’s just that we don’t remember hearing things before we learn about them because they don’t mean anything to us…
No, it’s just that until the concept is ready to be introduced to you, the matrix doesn’t include it in your program.
There is no beer to drink, only drinkers to wish for beer and the Matrix provides..
sooooooo, what’s all that stuff i’ve been paying for over all these years?! *paranoid eye shifty-ness*
You can’t handle the truth…
I can’t handle your mom 8D
Not surprised.
uh oh… i just figured out why you won’t tell anyone who you are. you’re, you’re… TOM CRUISE!
-
*runs away screaming before the scientology gets me*
No, I’m too ugly to be Tommy boy, I’m just a jerk.
Tommy Boy = epic film
Tom Cruise = epic fail
big difference… geez mr. president. get it right.
While we’re on that subject, Tom Cruise didn’t say that line in A Few Good Men, it was Jack Nicholson. Just saying.
sh!t. tom cruise was the investigator. nicholson was the bad ass smoking cubans on the stand dancing around tom cruises questions. i should know this. nicholson is the sh!t and cruise is a pansy-ass.
*headdesk*
I say two gaffes makes us even. Hugz Tiem!
So-was he a personal hero of Milosevic?
The information just posted is, sadly, all I know about him…. Tried looking for him outside Wiki but only got sailing clubs that were named after him…
You have proven that knowledge and intelligence are not the same thing.
The Black Knight? Were his arms off? Watch out! He’ll bleed on you!
This is such a minor point. Since I am not an extremely entitled American, this really doesn’t bother me that much. If you are offended, without going on wikipedia, check yourself a little: how many stars are there in the chinese flag? How many in the australian? How many stars are there in the UN flag? If you can answer all of these questions, you should know this isn’t such a big fail.
5, 6 and none, respectively. Even if I didn’t know that, I’d look it up before trying to paint one. It’s humor, get over yourself.
I think this should also be on fail blog, if it isn’t already.
But you don’t see us trying to make a political statement by burning those flags, now do you? Had I tried to do that, I would make sure the prop I’m using to make my political statements doesn’t scream “MORON!” while I make them.
if you look at the picture closely, you will notice that that cant be 75 stars.
the 2 top rows have ten stars, but the 2 bottom rows have 5(obviously) and 7 stars.
check again
if i count right its
10
10
8
9
8
8
7
5
thats still 65 stars, but if the flagburner should look it up, maybe the humorist should learn to count
Ok, Glad I wasn’t just going crazy or miscounting.
Typo fail maybe?
Americans all extremely entitled?… You’re the guys with all the oil, right? Talk to your extremely entitled oil soaked sheiks about it. Why don’t you burn something that represents YOUR leadership? I wonder what would happen to you if you did?
…and yes I know this is not necessarily an Arab country, but the point is if
these protesters would put as much effort into making their own country
worth living in then maybe they wouldn’t have to spend so much time burning other countries flags…
I present to you the Moron Award for such outstanding display of ignorance and arrogance in this post. Congratulations!
I am a very poor American and I love yo laugh at the morons from other countries that think we all drive big cars and have mansions. America spends more money helping the rest of the world out than the rest of the world combined. Pakistan and Iran only send money to armed militants, not to disaster victims and the hungry, especially not in non-Muslim countries. What country are you from? It doesn’t matter. It sucks.
Bravo/va
wait… you say america spends so much money helping other countries… and at the same time youre saying youre very poor. am i the only one who sees something wrong here?
Well, if I was planning on burning their flag, I would make damn sure that I knew what their flag actually looked like so I would not look like a jack ass. Than again only dumb asses waste their time burning flags instead of getting an education and trying to make an actual difference in the world.
So that means the guy hand-crafted an American flag with the purpose of burning it? Bizarre…
And someone hand-checked the number of stars. Equally bizarre.
But can someone please explain why I should give a rat’s ass? I mean: either it’s not a US flag, in which case no-one should have to take offense, or it is, and in that case the star count doesn’t matter. Fail either way, if you ask me.
Who’s taking offense? it’s a comedy site (of sorts) and someone found it funny. Personally, I agree with them.
Theater of the Absurd, and I am a fan.
Bizarre, yes. But whats more bizarre are protestors who do things like PURCHASE a dixie chicks album so they can destroy it on national television…or run out and BUY french wine and cheese so they can trash it publicly. Looooooozzzerrrrrs.
Thats a fail, right there. Because they “protestor” has now bolstered the french economy or put royalties into the artists bank account. C’mon, use your noodle.
And for the record….there are 66 stars on that flag. Not 75. The guy who captioned just assumed each row had ten stars. He didn’t really count. Thanks to my OCD, the truth is revealed! Either way, there’s too many of them and protestor-man looks like a moron! Lolz
Yeah, those are pretty awesome examples as well.
Yes, this is a flag that was handcrafted to burn. The number of stars actually represents the burners knowledge if the country he is protesting against.
Actually there are 66 stars on his flags.
yes im sad…
I counted 68.
no there are 66
Nope 25. You need glasses.
Hey, they got the 15 stripes right, at least…
Wow, rhorho, please tell me you were being facetious?? please.
There are THIRTEEN stripes on our flag. (13) one for each of the original colonies.
Please tell me this was a joke, right?
Rho’s lovable, but her sense of humor takes some getting used to. Have a seat, relax and get comfortable.

Thanks for trivia.
You should have given that to the “first” poster…
And how exactly is this relevant? Only states and commonwealths are represented by stars. Territories and APO postal codes aren’t reflected. I hope you’re not from the states. If you are, I really hope you didn’t get passing grades in American History, lol.
ohpleez …
I’m not the one that posted the postal trivia but I do work with addresses on a daily basis… they are considered “states” even if they aren’t on the flag.
This person wasn’t trying to correct that there are 50 stars just that there are more than 50 accepted “states”
what they fail to realize is that is only with postal codes and means nothing in any other part of the government.
commonwealths arent represented by stars
Born in Ky, lived in VA most my life, currently live in PA… all common wealths… all stars on the flag
And then there is Massachusetts
BTW… 3 out of the 4 mentioned are among the original 13 stars and still have stars
i always thought that about the American flag. is it just there in case you
forget how many states and colonies there are. ‘cos you could just write
that sort of stuff down on a piece of paper
Because of you, I went and counted the stripes….
The real FAIL is that someone bothered to count the stars… O,o
They obviously didn’t, they counted the number of rows and then counted the number of stars on the top row and did a bit of the ol’ multiplication. Er, the other kind of the ol’ multiplication, that is.
It would be a more meaningful picture if it was Americans burning a US flag, at least they would be expressing their freedom, obviously these people are just jealous.
Shouldn’t they be too busy being oppressed to hang out in the streets burning flags?
Comment win for you, Steve.
epic win, Steve
i didnt know people burned flags out of jealousy. thanks for the brilliant insight.
Maybe it’s symbolic of how the US has taken over other countries.
Maybe it’s symbolic of global warming…
I think it’s symbolic of the Gouda industry’s campaign to make us all believe that the moon is made of cheese and therefor up for sale.
As if they could fool us… Everyone knows it’s made of marzipan……
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
If the moon were made from cheese, we wouldn’t have cancelled the Apollo program. We would be pillaging sweet, sweet, moon-cheese this very day.
Are you not pillaging stuff to do nuclear fusion with, now?
Hey. What happens in the Evil Botanical Lab STAYS in the Evil Botanical Lab…
*jots down note and necessity of secrecy. Authorizes drugging and memory replacement*
You need to start working on hybrids, that’s the future of evil botanicals. Flavor combinations like kiwi-strawberry are incredible, imagine if you could produce a strawbiwi vine!
It’s EVIL, dambit! *throws tantrum*
*calms down* Your suggestions need to be much, much more malevolent. Thorny and poisonous are good for starters. Invasive is good, if you’re having a mental block. Hallucinogenic stuff is not shabby, especially in tandem with a diabolical scheme.
I suggest making hallucinogenic blueberries to improve blueberry pancake sales. Then after the population is hooked, add a trace of poison so that a significant number of the population dies off just so I can have a crisis to steer us out of to hide all my sex scandals.
Shall I begin work on your statement of concern for the blueberry victims and outrage at the FDA for not catching the problem?
i’m already working on the multi-directional boobie-tassle dance… getting the bases covered for when people start dropping like flies.
Excellent work, Number 1! (sorry, felt the need to channel Picard there for a minute)
Excellent, Jane will work on Project Contained Outrage and Shortright will have Project Sexy Distraction.
Soon to be known as Project Barely Contained (but Actually Spilling Over) and Project Weapons of (Hot) Mess Distraction.
And Pittypat will be Secretary of Prodding Dissidents with a Stick. Unless she has a better idea.
Nah, that’s Fester’s job.
Good point, perhaps the Secretary of Writing Distracting Poetry and Prose?
Yes, all over my enormous rackage …
Where is the Fester anyway? Eloped with Charro?
Not quite sure, send out a search party, and bring back pictures, if only to use as inhuman torture at a later date.
As for your rackage… I was thinking reciting your wit to the masses but on your rack could work even better!
hey I mean if we’re talking disrackshun …
Precisely, you’re hired.
Yeah, I miss Unc. I hope he’s taking a vacation someplace warm while he mocks his fellow tourists with abandon.
jane – i’m picturing fester looking like my 78yo grandfather on a beach in bermuda with his black sandals on with white mid-calf socks and old man board shorts pulled up to nearly his nipples wearing his crazy old man sun hat with no shirt on… and of course mercilessly mocking everyone and everything else. i sure hope that’s what he’s doing because this is making me giggle a lot.
I guarantee that his ‘boys’ are hanging out too, if he’s anything like the 78 year old men I’ve known.
Now you’re talking!
*sets to work on evil blueberry hybridization*
*channels some Mr. Burns*
Excellent…
We haven’t been to the moon for years…
I think it is symbolic of their throbbing jealous for the body count the Wang has amassed.
*jealousy
*sighs and hangs head in typo shame*
*gently pats DWN on the head* Tis ok dear…Wangnan is still the mighty conqueror of all.
Woot! Wangnan smash typos with mighty flesh sword!!!
*hugs*
The Wang is too busy Wanging to pay attention to typos. I think this calls for a press conference.
*ahem*
Ladies and Gentlemen of the press, President Nexus has the following statement. The Wang is not responsible for its typos because the Wang is the Decider. If you disagree with how the Wang Wangs I ask you, why do you hate America? No further questions.
*sends memo to get Jane a pay raise*
*blushes*
Thank you sir, I always endeavor to give satisfaction.
*abstains from usual In Bed comment to make a more thought out comment*
Giggidity Giggidity Giga-deee… Awwwwlright.
I think you made the correct choice with that one, sir.
Thank you, Ms. St. Clair. Hopefully we can keep the press’s attention off all our secret projects. Speaking of which, make sure the video room is prepped. I think I am rested up enough for a few more scenes.
Already done, sir.
*goes to give some serious presidential… um… dictation*
The Secretary of State has a picture for your Wangship, sir. *lays 2×4 on ground* *hands picture to President Wang* [link]
LOL, nice. I believe it is from the COD4 update.
Ummmm, are those Nazi Zombies? *shudders* Why, why am I so terrified of zombies but not of vampires. I mean, they’re both the undead, right?
Zombies represent the banality of life brought back in death with only the urge to creep up on you and drag you down into a screaming fit before you gurgle your last on your spillt blood.
And yes, they’re both undead.
People wearing bed sheets should NOT play with open flame.
Quelle surprise, supercilious Sithinious is supercilious.
ahahahahahahaaa! funnee
Style over substance.
Those of you on the left should be experts on the concept.
I voted for Obama because Michelle wears flats.
I voted for Obama because he has cute kids.
I voted for Obama because of that picture in the surf.
I voted for Obama because I want Will Smith to play him in a movie.
I voted for Obama because he’s Irish.
I voted for Obama because he’s left-handed. Go South Paws!
I voted for Obama because he has rock star fame and as a member of the youth of America that’s how I make my decisions.
I voted for Obama because his logo reminded me of donuts and bacon.
Mmmmmm, donuts.
I voted for Obama, because I found out that John McCain is NOT the guy from Die Hard.
WHAT?! you mean it wasn’t the black guy versus bruce willis walking barefoot over broken glass? NOOOOOOOOOO! my faith in humanity is GONE. GONE I SAY!
-
and for you two tools out there who are too fcuking dumb to recognize this on your own, this was sarcasm.
I voted Obama because McCain is old and I hate old people.
i voted for obama because the idea of mccain being in the white house scared the beejeebers out of me. one old fart with alzheimers (reagan) in control of the bigg red button in my lifetime is enough….
that should read big not bigg….
and i forgot, but i liked how michelle and the girls teased him about ordinary stuff like a real family instead of parroting memorized lines
i voted for Obama coz he shizzle wiz my nizzle
i voted for obama because i likes me some brown sugar
Does he have a Leprechaun Flute?
“Pirates of Somalia” FTW!!!
They hate you. Why should they care how many states you have?
Something to be said about an accurate hate.
So they would at least know what they are hating instead of just hating something in the abstract, meaning they are told what to hate instead of actually having a personal greivance.
DWN that makes absolutely no sense.
*in southern hillbilly voice*
-
“How’m I sposed to hate me some Gays all day when I ain’t even know no Gays? I don’t wanna talk to none of them filthy Gays, sure ’nuff I’ll catch me the Gay if I go ’round talkin wit them before I hate em! I’m just gonna keep hatin’ me some Gays!”
Precisely my point. I was raised in MS with a traditional redneck raising. I did hate gays, complete with homophobia. However, as I grew up and moved to other states and actually talked to people other than other ignorant rednecks, I learned I didn’t have anything to hate.
Came to a complete stop in college when I was actually around gays on a daily basis. I realized that my previous notions were completely idiotic and I had absolutely no reason to hate gays.
So you’re right, it makes absolutely no sense to hate somebody you’ve never met. I have hated specific gay people but not because they were gay. They just happened to be maladjusted dipshits. As a group, no I absolutely do not hate gays.
Now do those burning the flags have any personal greivances or are they just going with the flow they were taught?
*kills that extra No in the second to last sentence*
Luckily Jane already held a press conference.
No, he was right.
As in, “No, I do not want to go to the store.”
don’t mention the ghey! i don’t want to catch it either!
Wow! That teacher is a tough grader! Shouldn’t he have allowed the kid to
paint blue over, and try the stars again?
Wow. You win the internet for that. I love you.
He’s just referring to the future America, the United States of the Western Hemisphere, that’s all.
>.>
I thought we had only 57 states…
Our President agrees with you.
That’s just the number of states that The Obama visited. Obviously there are more that he ignored, in his sweetly arrogant way.
Maybe they’re including the states that the US would like to include such as Afghanistan, Iraq, North Korea etc and all the other places they seem to poke their noses in where their not wanted?
Just a thought.
Hey, 65? 65?
Isn’t that the count of virgins you’ll be granted as a martyr? So these are not the states but….
Wait!
Why burning them?
I’m confused…
66 not 65
I think that was 72. But everyone knows the real answer is 42.
Of course it doesn’t have 75. According to that flag it’s 66 states.
I don’t know. How many Americans know how many Provinces Canada has? States of Australia? Hell, a few years back I’m sure there were quite a few running around who didn’t know where Afghanistan or Iraq actually were.
Point taken but we also mock idiots from here who don’t know what they are belly-aching about.
Again, if the amount of provinces in Canada were necessary information to my protest of them, I think I’d find out. As it is, I think I could make a fairly accurate rendition of the Canadian flag in the event that I want to burn it.
Hell, I could at least look up the flag if I was going to burn it. But that is my whole, entitled American paying for his internet schtick though.
And a hockey player riding a moose comes into the room and unfurls the flag for all.
(Anyone who picks up that reference earns +100 Internet)
doesn’t look like anyone has yet. and i’m curious as to what the reference is… do tell, do tell!
From the cartoon “The Critic” starring Jon Lovitz. Lovitz’s character is talking about liberating Quebec on his film review show, and he gains the admiration of the citizens of Quebec. I think that’s how that scene went.
I count 66. And you’re all smelly.
Yes, but we can all take showers and smell better in a matter of minutes. You need therapy and medication for that OCD “counting” issue of yours.
I counted 67. I counted it twice actually.
Then you need to learn to count. Where you getting the extra one from?
So I guess since this is not our flag, burning it is no big deal, right?
Yeah, I’m not really offended by them burning the wrong flag. I feel bad for whatever country it is with 66 states that ripped off our flag idea.
Yeah, Betsy Ross is pissed, I tell ya’.
She’s already suing for intellectual property.
While they didn’t get all the stars right, I still have to applaud the effort – so what if they got irrelevant minutiae wrong, it’s the thought that counts.
Makes me wish I had a few american flags to burn.
This is kind of appalling. Further concrete evidence that we should have just bombed the hell out of their unappreciative asses.
C’mon, it’s legal to burn an American flag in this country. Why would it be that much worse to do in another country? They don’t like us, fine. They don’t have to live here.
You have to count all the lesser known Dakotas, like South-Southeast Dakota.
Clearly a geography major at the University of Southern North Dakota at Hoople.
Say hello to Prof. Schickele for me.
I think it’s time for the Dakotas to put aside their differences and become one big Dakota. Same with the Carolinas and the Virginias. Why isn’t it East Virginia? There’s a West Virginia, but there’s not an East Virginia.
(I know the answer. I’m just being silly. Keep the history lesson to yourself.)
Is that the same Prof Schickele as PDQ Bach?
Once again the Valkyrie proves herself made of awesome! *mwah!*
Everyone knows America has 57 States… Well, at least Obama knew that.
Didn’t he?
yes. Actually 60 states, because he said hes been to 57, and he hasnt gone to three because he hasnt been to one, and his staff wouldnt allow him to go to Hawaii and Alaska
When you will going to learn that your country is called UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and America is a continent?
Fail, fail, fail… like always…
Actually, “America” could refer to more than one continent….
If you’re going to insult Americans, please do so with proper grammar. And there are two Americas actually. North and South. So, while you ALMOST made a valid point, you sadly ended up failing. Fail, fail, fail…like always.
what about central america?
Yeah, ’cause I’m sure they’re really worried about that.
Maybe thats why he’s burning our flag! Conspiracy alert! The government has been secretly been taking over countries and making them into US states! We forcibly took over this country and now he’s burning our flag (with the CORRECT amount of stars) in protest! /Sarcasm!
Of course it doesn’t have 75 stars…ask Obama, he’s up to 57
I definitely counted 66 states lol
COUNTING FAIL
last tiem i checked it didn’yt have 64 eder
lulz, their economy is so shitty that they can’t even afford to buy an American flag.
um… why WOULD they?
failure to the infinite power
57 according to Obama
66! 66 States! Ah Ah Ah Ah!
I counted, marking them off as I did. There are 66 stars.
that’s only 61
