Refers to the First World War, 1914-1918. Not as popular as World War Two is today, as American film producers have not made as many films about it, most likely because it would make the U.S look weak the U.S. as their country had very little to do with the war.
The Great War was the war that defined warfare for probably a very long time. Armies, unused to light infantry battles and the use of tactics over numbers, found themselves in a stalemate, "dug in" at opposing trenches that stretched for miles and miles. This warfare was particularly gruesome, as the cramped and dangerous conditions led to many serious diseases, both mental and physical. The phrase "over the top" was created in this war, when frustrated army commanders ordered their soldiers to simply get out of their trenches and charge the enemy positions. When units went "over the top," it was common for the entire unit to be completely wiped out, resulting in the deaths of thousands in a few hours.
The war itself was brought about due to rising tensions in Europe and the web of alliances that existed. When the Austrian Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated by Serbian terrorists, Austria blamed Russia, as Russia had always promised to protect Serbia should Austria look to seize it. Following this outbreak, Germany and Italy declared war on Russia's ally France, whereupon Britain was inevitably thrown into the fray.
Rememberance Day parades are held every year in every town in most of Europe (not sure about the U.S?) to remember the veterans who fought in it. Hundreds of local military personnel attend the parade and there is a Church service with the famous words being read (usually by a veteran):
They shall not grow old as we who are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM
My great grandad fought and died at the Somme in the Great War.

As was foretold by Linus in It's the Great Blumpkin Charlie Brown! It is the king of all blumpkins and can only be had on Halloween night. According to Norse folklore, it is the best blowjob that you can possibly get while sitting on a toilet and taking a shit.

In the year 843 B.C. Macedonia, the reign of Kate the Great was errant. The people, becoming upset, had decided to overthrow their Queen and control the greatest city ever. With her final last words which had a bittersweet symphonous meaning: REMEMBER WHO IS YOUR GODDESS, YOUR QUEEN, YOUR ONLY RULER! KATE THE GREAT! with the last speech, her existence fell underground, for centuries she turned tricks in the French government, selling cigarettes and running the most classiest of whore houses. It was when in 923, France, Kate's existence became apparent once again, having killed King Robert I, she in turned used her advanced ancient military tactics until she moved to america and became a normal girl. However, she still retained the famous name "Kate the Great".
Kate the Great > Samuel L. Jackson > Chuck Norris.

an openly queer illusionist and performance artist, who stives to entertain his audience while educating them about safe sex and gay pride. looks like a combination of liberace and david copperfield, while the act itself is like seeing scott thompson (from kids in the hall) riff on chris angel. and the story about the rabbit ? that's no truer than the practice of gerbiling...
did you guys hear ? the rainbow alliance invited the great fagotini to campus !
