WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU CRAPPING ON ABOUT!
The Roman Empire is coming back in the form of the European Union and God
has chosen Heidi Klum to mark this process.

Niko, did you know that
Karipis or Karips means foreign, strange,
desolate, deserted, (erimos)
or Kaplanis or Kaplantz or Kaplants means tiger?
Yes, "Karipis" comes from the Turkish word "garip", which comes from
the
Arabic word "gharib", meaning "foreign", "strange". The Arabic word for
"West"
is "Gharb", and "gharib" also means "western", or "westerner". To the
Arabs, a
Westerner, a "Gharib", acts strange.
Marianna's family name, "Karipidu", means "descendant of the
stranger", a
mixed Greek-Turkish-Arabic surname.
"Kaplanis" comes from the Turkish word "kaplan", meaning "tiger".
The common Jewish surname "Kaplan", however, comes from the Latin
word
"caplanus", meaning "chaplain", and it means "priest", i.e., Cohen, or
Kahane
in Hebrew.
The Komnenes of Trebizond were a Byzantine imperial family.
The Byzantine Empire was the only legitimate continuation of the
Roman
Empire, after the western half of the Empire had been overrun by the
Goths,
i.e., the Germans.
With the Germans holding Rome, they decided to legitimize their rule
and
asked for a Byzantine princess to marry the son of the German Emperor Otto
I.
Otto I was the husband of Empress Adelheid ("Heidi"), whose modern avatar
is
Heidi Klum.
Empress Adelheid, like Heidi Klum, was renowned for her beauty and
bravery.
The Byzantines gave to Otto I the Princess Theophano to marry his
son,
the later Emperor Otto II. Theophano then gave birth to Emperor Otto III.
These three Ottos were the first three Holy Roman Emperors of the
German
Nation, legitimized through the marriage to the Byzantine Princess
Theophano.
The three Ottos were the husband, son, and grandson of Empress Adelheid.
When Greece was liberated from Turkish rule in the early 19th
century,
the Greeks went back to the Germans to get a Prince to become their
legitimate
King. That Prince was Otto of Bavaria, born on June 1, 1815, having the
exact
same birthday as Heidi Klum, who was born on June 1, 1973.
The last King of modern Greece is Constantine the 13th, who was
deposed
on June 1, 1973, the very day that Heidi Klum was being born. Constantine
the
13th himself had been born on June 2, 1940, and, therefore, lost his
throne on
the eve of his 33rd birthday.
The Roman Empire is about to be revived with the likely entry of
Turkey
into the European Union in the near future. That way Constantinople,
modern
Istanbul, the city that had served as the capital of the Roman Empire for
a
time longer than Rome herself, will return to the fold of the Empire.
Heidi's homeland, Germany, is a country where many Europeans live in
harmony with one another, including millions of Turks and Greeks. Thanks
to
German hospitality, Greeks and Turks live and work together, preparing
themselves for a harmonious common future in the new Roman Empire, the
expanded
European Union, including Turkey and Constantinople, the City of
Constantine.
