Interesting facts about Bulgaria

[kingkobra]

Did you know, the Bulgarian nation will be extinct in <30 years?

and how and why would that happen?

 

[bularab]

More than 1 million people are over 70 years old. The young people are emigrating, and the ethnic minorities, especially the Romanis will form the large part of the population.

Did you know, Bulgaria is the first country to raise a monument, to the enemy? In 2010, a monument of the killed Americans during the bombardment of Bulgaria in WW2 was raised.

Okay.. thats it..You two are getting me confused.No more jokes.

Who is Petar Katev by the way? Now don't just say the guy who invented penicillin.Add some description,a link perhaps.

 

[bularab]

Excuse me, it was not Petar Katev, but instead Stamen Grigorov.

In 1906, he posts what he found about the penicilin in a french newspaper.

Anyway, Grigorov is invited to the Genevan Institute, but he refuses. In 1929, Flemming invents the penicilin.. for the second time.

eeiik..is it? like how the conversation starts? you meet someone at the doors.. and then what do you say normally?

 

[bularab]

Well, that is popular among young people. A 80 old pensioner won't call you "cockmind" for welcome.

Popular phrases for welcome are "gay", "whore", "pussylicker"......

If some Bulgarian call you insult, don't take it too serious, except if he is really unfriendly.
