"Ali" - The Greatest
Muhammad Ali was born on January 17, 1942.He is considered as the Greatest boxer of all time ,not only because of his boxing skills but because of his qualities as a human-being.
At his birth ,he had given the name "Cassius Clay". But he refused to be called by the name 'Clay" because it was the name given by white masters whom his ancestors worked for hundreds of years as slaves,and he is no longer a slave but a free man.
After he became a follower of Islam,He was given the name "Muhammad Ali".
He refused to join the Vietnam war due to his religious believes,and it is also unfair for him to go to Vietnam and fight against it's people because he has no quarrel with Vietcong and they have never even call him Nigger.

Great quotes by Muhammad Ali
"I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion".
"Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the skill, and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill".

Largest Oil Tanker ever
Seawise Giant (1979–1989), later named Happy Giant (1989–1991), Jahre Viking (1991–2004), Knock Nevis (2004–2009) and Mont (2009–2010) was a ULCC supertanker and the longest ship mankind ever built, and possessed the greatest deadweight tonnage ever recorded.
Fully laden, her displacement was 657,019 tonnes (646,642 long tons, 724,239 short tons), the heaviest ship of any kind, and with a draft of 24.6 m (81 ft), she was incapable of navigating the English Channel, the Suez Canal or the Panama Canal.
She could reach up to 16.5 knots (30.6 km/h) in good weather, it took 5.5 miles (8.9 km) to stop from that speed, and the turning circle in clear weather was about 2 miles (3.2 km)
Overall, she was generally considered the largest ship ever built, as well as the largest self-propelled, man made object ever built.
Tonnage: 260,941 GT (214,793 NT)
Length: 458.45 m (1,504.10 ft)
Beam: 68.8 m (225.72 ft)
Draught: 24.611 m (80.74 ft)
Capacity: 564,763 DWT
Speed: 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph)
Built in 1979 by Sumitomo Heavy Industries,Ltd. at their shipyard in Japan.
During the Iran-Iraq War it was damaged by an air force attack in the Strait of Hormuz on 14 May 1988.
She was sank and was considered completely lost. However the wreckage was salvaged and repaired. After the repairs she was back in service as Happy Giant.
In 1991 she was bought by the Norwegian Jorgen Jahre and renamed into Jahre Viking.
She was last used as a floating storage and offloading unit (FSO) moored off the coast of Qatar in the Persian Gulf at the Al Shaheen Oil Field.
The vessel was sold to Indian ship breakers, and renamed Mont for her final journey in December 2009. After clearing Indian customs, she was sailed to, and intentionally beached at Alang, Gujarat, India for demolition.
