corrections and shit

Nope, Maradona comes statistically (# goals, etc) second to Pelé

1.- Nope, Blue whale still takes the title at least with respect to the dinosaur fossils found so far.
2.- Nope, we have to go way back to Valentinian III to find an emperor that 1) actually controlled the territory and lets say, not just Italy 2) was not a puppet of someone else and 3) had some form of legitimacy to his title, aka, recognized by the Eastern Emperor, not self-proclaimed, not appointed by a "man behind the power" like Ricimer.
3.- All good
4.- Belisarius and Narses
5.- Nah, it didn't happen until later, well within the Capetian dinasty. Philippe II Auguste (1180-1223) was the first to use King of France and not King of the Franks
