    Wrong. The Fallout 3 sweet roll thing was actually a reference to older Elder Scrolls games and so was this.

    How on earth is that a Historical fact?

    The universally popular Hershey bar was used overseas during World War II as currency.

    Harry S. Truman was the last U.S. President with no college degree.

    During the battle of Stalingrad Germans lost more men trying to take 4 story apartment building "Pavlovs house" protected by a dozen Rodmitsevs guards (13th Guard Rifle division) than in taking Paris.

    EDIT: Also when Russians recovered German maps from high command after the battle, it turned out that apartment was marked as a fortress.
