Chuck Yeager is immortal, the man is 93 years old and still sharper than most men half his age

USS Zumwalt is finally ready to join the fleet, the name of its commander... wait for it, hang on... James Kirk

So yes, I love it, but it'll be useless given the cowards who will be running the country and those cowards who vote them into office. |

The six deaths were a pregnant schoolteacher and a bunch of kids on a nature hike. When they went over to see what it was, it went off. Tragic beyond belief. http://www.historynuggets.com/nugget...floating-bombs |

Of course, super-wealthy knights clad in the heaviest plate could sustain many shots (imagine wearing a trash can and getting hit with a ball-peen hammer; it'll hurt, but you'll live), so yeah, it worked out nicely that it killed the horses. Agincourt, with its huge slop of mud that the French knights were nice enough to thunder right into, was particularly ripe for this. A lot of the French nobles were quite surprised to find out that the usual expectations of mercy and a quick ransom were not being followed by the English any more. |

I saw a Misericorde School, I think in Massachusetts. It made me chuckle a little. |
