      @ craftbpaint: Youb hould see pics of other emperors of this time. They look weird. Frederick always looks as he had imnmensive sorrows and so it was.

      To be fair to Fred, if my dad forced me to watch as he beheaded my boyfriend I'd have a thousand yard stare too.

      ​@georgeburton3782Probably what led to him adopting freemasonry later in life.

    He literally did the Tom Sawyer thing. He made it difficult to obtain, which made people want it.

      The potato first arrived in Germany in 1630, but it took a while for the farmers to recognize the utility of the potato.

      King Frederick the great didn't like religions but he was mostly tolerant of them, brother.

      The Bible has 50k confirmed errors in it .
      (Google it)
      The Quran has ZERO
      Islam is the answer my friend ❤
