Greetings, I like to read articles from Wikipedia about almost any topic that comes into my mind, however there are some subjects on which I read more often (perhaps you might find some of them interesting as well):
People
[edit]- Victor Lustig - The man who sold the Eiffel Tower, twice!
- Cassie Chadwick - The woman that lead a bank to bankruptcy when she defaulted on loans obtained by claiming to be the illegitimate daughter of Andrew Carnegie.
Fictional Characters
[edit]- Nike - The goddess of victory, her name is used by one of the largest sport apparel companies in the world and her image is represented in many works of art, such as the statue El Ángel de la Independencia in Mexico City.
- Icarus - Don't let arrogance get the best of you...

- Nothing - is a little more complicated than you think.
