`Nandhimithra, Suranimila, Mahasona, Gotaimbara, Theraputtabhaya, Mahabharana, and also Velusumana, Khanjadeva, Phussadeva and Labhiyavasabha: these ten were his (King Dutugemunu`s) mighty and great warriors`- The Mahavamsa.
1) Nandhimithra- The first giant warrior was Nandhimithra, a nephew of a Sinhalese general in Elara`s army. He lived in the South of Anuradhapura. He was named Mittha after his father. It is said that when his mothers_day.jsp' class=black>mother went to the well to fetch water she was in the habit of tying a rope or strap around his body and fastening it to a grinding stone, so that he would not stray outside. One day when the mother was away, he dragged the heavy stone after him and later broke the rope and freed himself. Thus, he became known as Nandhi- mittha.

Sri Lanka Army Travels Back In Time to Murder Tamil Civilian
Monday, 17 January 2011 - 11:15 AM SL Time

[TamilNet, Monday, 17 January 2011, 01:00 GMT]
TamilNet has uncovered undeniable and 100% non-doctored evidence to prove that Sinhaloid soldiers have gone back in time to commit TIME TRAVEL GENOCIDE(TM) on We Thamizh!
The original article, dated 14 January 2011, gleefully reveals exactly how Sinhaloid soldiers tore a hole in the space-time continuum, went back to July 2007, killed an innocent Tamil father of five and threw his body down a well. The fact that he, a certain Mr. Amirtharajah, had been officially declared missing only on January 1st 2011 shows that he was reported missing 3 and a half years after he died, obviously murdered by the Sinhaloids and definitely not by the saintly LTTE who have NEVER killed any Tamils.

[TamilNet, Monday, 24 January 2011, 01:00 GMT]
The fledgling nuclear super-power of South Sudan has entered the hearts of We Thamizh as well as the records books by being the first 100% sovereign nation to establish diplomatic relations with Tamil Eelam.
The Sudan Peoples` Liberation Movement (SPLM) has invited the Transsexual Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) to visit Southern Sudan in the immediate aftermath of the vote for an independent state there. Representatives of our glorious Tranny government are making arrangements to make their first official visit. The TGTE celebrated this glorious development by sending its Secretary General for the United States, the 100% Tamil Mr. Domach Wal Ruach, over to South Sudan to teach the locals exactly how to scrub commodes just the way our mutual white masters like it.

Dutugemunu goes to war against Elara
Wednesday, 26 January 2011 - 1:16 PM SL Time
|
King Kavantissa refused his son Gemunu permission to wage war against Elara. King KavanTissa refused 3 requests forwarded by Gemunu to liberate the country. `How are you going to fight one million troops commanded by 20 experienced Generals?`
Unlike the 10 amateur generals of the Sinhala Army, the 20 Generals of Elara`s army were battle-hardened Tamil veterans. Gemunu couldn`t give a satisfactory answer. Instead, he began to criticise the king saying that the king was too timid. The prince stated, `If father were a man he would not speak thus` and sent him a piece of women`s jewellery.
