1. The MV Wilhelm Gustloff German Nazi cruise ship (later converted into a German troop, hospital, and evacuation ship during Operation Hannibal) that was torpedoed 3 times by a Soviet submarine and sunk in the icy Baltic Sea on January 30th, 1945 (during World War II) while carrying over 10,000 refugees (mostly women and children) and military personnel. She was very highly overloaded and over 9,000 people were killed (most of them civilians, including 5,000 children) and only 1,000 survived. It is the worst single maritime disaster in HUMAN HISTORY, SIX TIMES deadlier than the titanic (which killed 1,500 people).

2. Wilhelm Gustloff (30 January 1895 – 4 February 1936) was the founder of the Swiss NSDAP/AO (the Nazi Party organisation for German citizens abroad) in Davos, Switzerland. He remained its leader from 1932 until he was assassinated in 1936 by David Frankfurter, a Croatian Jewish student who opposed the growth of the NSDAP. The Nazi cruise ship, the MV Wilhelm Gustloff, was named after him.

Get a Wilhelm Gustloff mug for your dog Rihanna.
The best flatlander in the world in my opinion. Has won two year end Champion titles, 3 X-games medals, Fox's "30 seconds to fame" $25,000 grand prize, Silver medal in the World Championship, and many more awards. he made a dvd called "ground rules." His tricks include spinning on front and back wheels, scuffing, and of course his Signature "No-Handed Time Machine."
i bought this dvd called ground rules made by matt wilhelm and now i can do a tailwhip on my bike.

1. One of THE BEST melodic hardcore bands on the fucking market. They're amazing songwriters and every member of the band is a talented musician. Most often flamed as "just another yelling, angry band" solely because of their frequent use of the word "Fuck".
They recently picked up Mike Supina and Bri Robinson, who are amazing musicians.

Mike's a really rad guy.
The current line up as of March 28, 2008 is as follows:
Nuno Pereira-Vocals
Nick Angellini-Drums
Trevor Reilly-Guitar/Vocals
Bri Robinson-Bass/Vocals
Mike Supina-Guitar/Awesome

2. A repeated sound effect used in early films for the death of a male character.

A famous male scream that can be heard in such popular films as the Star Wars saga, The indiana Jones trilogy and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
In Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones is driving the truck carrying the ark through the desert. While Driving, he tries to shake off a couple of nazi's climbing on top of the truck and when one of them falls off, you here the Wilhelm scream. During the battle of the Pelennor fields in the Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Legolas the elf climbs his way up a Mumakil(giant elephant), sturggles a bit with a Haradrim soldier and then throws him off the Mumakil, at which point the Haradrim makes A wilhelm scream.
