Happens every now and then since ~1998.

So, the Fire Throwers from Malta are not a complete fabrication from the game designer, after all. The knights of Malta did throw flaming rings to set the Turks on fire! :pepe_suit: 

Then I read who took part in the battle. :loli_write: 

Then I see that the Kinghts Hospitaller are still a thing in the present. One of their successors is the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. :0090:

They still have a Grand Master. Some Canadian guy named John Dunlap, appointed this year. Wow! Wait a minute... why Canadian... :blobthinkingglare: 

OK, he seems alright. It's not a nigger or Chink. :0010:

>appointed by Pope Francis
>the Pope made them change the requirement for the Grand Master to be a noble
This commie faggot Pope is undermining the order of Malta. :reeEEEE:
