51's shut down. has been for years cuz of radiation issues. 69's the replacement. it's rather fitting for all the anal probing and whatnot that goes on there. they sent me there once, but i was saved by my kevlar ass armor.
Was trying to find the urban legends site the woman visited the other day and stumble on this..... http://www.snopes.com/photos/grave.asp What a way to be remembered....
not much of an urban legend, but did you know that in 1954 when they started putting filters on cigarettes, the first filters were made out of asbestos fibers?
during WWII, maps were issued to British and American pilots; the interesting thing about them was that, in order to see the image of the map (printed on a handkerchief), the pilot has to urinate on the cloth. ew?
that was when shot down over german occupied territory, was needed for escape purposes not when flying the planes
*salutes* yeah, pretty interesting topic, isn't it? can you believe the US Navy slowed the firing rate of the Thompson submachine gun in WWII. they changed it from, what, 600 to 400 rounds a minute? lol, the army version was better, anyway.
yeah, but it's not as fun did anyone know that originally, before the synthetic casing of the current day, sausage was stuff in cow and pig intestines before it was twisted into links? this is more common, but it's all i can think of at the moment.
