Loukanikos (Greek: Λουκάνικος) aka "the sausage loukaniko", initially named "Theodor", was a Greek riot dog that participated in almost every anti-austerity protest in Greece. He was commonly known for joining protests, barking at police, helping in street battles with the Greek police as well as participating in anarchist rallies and picket lines. Loukanikos had a reputation of being fearless, usually being in front of the protests and having tear gas thrown at him multiple times. He was active throughout all Greek protests and often leading the protesters towards the police. Initially a stray, he moved from building to building, but was said to have preferred to be on the streets. He was groomed and cared for by multiple left-wing organizations. Loukanikos died in 2014 at the age of ten. This was due to health problems because of ingestion of tear gas, which he sustained due to constant protests. A memorial and large burial was held shortly after. Loukanikos was the subject of a large amount of monuments and murals in his honor.

    In the show Seinfeld, a running theme is Jerry constantly has trouble finding dates and keeping girlfriends. In real life, Jerry overcame this by dating a high schooler.

    Just thought of this while watching an episode where Jerry and George leer at a 15 year olds cleavage. Fucking gross

    Every single time I go on r/worldnews and see a comment to the effect of "the people of Cuba are starving and are oppressed by an weevil dictatorship. And I should know, I'M CUBAN".... every time I check the comment history and it's some Cuban-American who was born and raised in the US and never once even set foot on Cuban soil.
