    98 years ago today, the Germans and British troops brought a temporary ceasefire to the Great War and had a game of football out on no-man's land.

    The fighting resumed when somebody was killed after being hit on the head with the football.

    It's true.

    Not many people know this, but Archduke Franz Ferdinand was actually assassinated by someone kicking a football to his head. It was a Mitre, they sting like ****.

    It worked out well in the end though as the archduke's descendants went on to form a British Indie band in his honour.

    The OP is obviously making a joke about RVP.
