Don't know where you got these "facts", but Der Fuhrer was not openly bi, he might have been heavily closeted. He claimed to be in love with his mistress, Eva Braun. He also executed the one man who knew the truth, the head of the SA. This was the group of street fighters that got him into power.

Had to check Wiki:

Ernst Röhm was executed without trial during the purge of the SA — the so-called "Night of the Long Knives" in June 1934. Following his arrest by Hitler himself at the resort of Bad Wiessee on June 30, Röhm was held briefly at Stadelheim Prison in Munich. There, on July 2, he was visited by SS-Brigadeführer Theodor Eicke (then the Kommandant of Dachau) and SS-Sturmbannführer Michael Lippert. Lippert shot Röhm at point-blank range after he refused to commit suicide with a pistol given to him. Rohm was homosexual, and is generally thought to have the goods on Hitler.

There is no evidence that Hitler's mother wanted to have an abortion.

Venice is also now only attractive due to it's architecture. The canals are now actually a brown-green-and-yellow colour due to the sewage.

Actually, a duck's quack, can echo, does echo and will echo - we're just unable to hear it. A dog, however, can hear the echo.
