Oprah destroyed the Gupta Empire

[NovaKart]

Well not exactly but he did kind of bring about the beginning of the end. The Guptas did resist the Hunas for a long time.

Skandagupta was followed by weak rulers Puru Gupta (467-473), Kumaragupta II (473-476),
Buddhagupta (476-495?), Narasimhagupta, Kumaragupta III, Vishnu Gupta, Vainya Gupta and
Bhanu Gupta. In the 480's the Hephthalite King Oprah broke through the Gupta defenses in the
northwest, and much of the empire was overrun by the Huna by 500. The empire disintegrated
under the attacks of Toramana and his successor Mihirakula. The Hunas conquered several
provinces of the empire, including Malwa, Gujarat and Thanesar and broke away under the rule
of local dynasties.

Apparently she's not the only one in history with that name.

This still doesn't beat the time Mothra turned up in the annals of Ulster.

 

[NovaKart]

When was that? Who was he?

It's interesting to think how many coincidences there are with famous people's names in history. I know Jane Seymour was married to Henry VIII before she went to America and became Dr Quinn Medicine Woman. I guess all the balls at court helped her when she went on Dancing with the Stars.

Mothra was one of Gojira's many, many enemies. Surely you know that! About the Ulster annals thing I didn't know that.

And has recently destroyed the illusion that Australia has an ounce of dignity. Oprah is evil.

I haven't heard anything about this. What did Oprah do in Australia?

Update: I couldn't wait, I looked it up. So she's taking some people on a vacation to Australia which for some reason is costing a lot of tax dollars. Maybe the tourism revenue will make up for it. Anyway Australia gets to bask in the glory that is Oprah. Maybe they can check out some of the books from Oprah's book club.

Trust me, the tourism dollars will NOT make up for the amount we're spending on her. The simple fact is that Oprah isn't even that well liked outside of the US. And we certainly sold our dignity when we renamed the Opera House and put a giant frigging "O" on the Harbour Bridge.

I hate to break it to you but that was destroyed years ago.

You live in Canaan anyway, why do you care? Unless there's a Canaan, Australia.

Nah, the illusion still had value amongst idiotic Australians, even though the rest of the world had seen through us. Now all hope is gone.

This may come as a shock to you, but not everyone here uses their real location.

No on-going historical-related discussion...

Not much to go on, in the original OP.
