One thing Uboat crews were more afraid of than allied warships.Circle arounds,sometimes for unknown reasons torpedoes fired from a sub would circle around and head back to where they were fired from.

Bulls**t.... I found gold at the end of a rainbow. It wasn't in a pot (that's a myth) but it was there. That's my story and sticking to it.... What your looking at from an airplane is a NASCAR track. Quit spreading rumors and quit drinkin' on the plane.

Did you want me to kill all those children or orphan them? That would make me a legendary mass murderer instantly. I have to sleep at night.... so I let every one of them live. I sent them Northeast of me.

Isn't it interesting that we were born with a brain, and reproductive organs, but only enough blood to run one at a time?......Gary

Dragons still live. On an island in the East Indies, a dragon, known as the Komodo Dragon is 10' long, and weigh about 150#. He was spotted attacking a 90# hog. He bit off the head and swallowed it in one gulp than proceeded to down the rest of it, IN 17 MINUTES! Frank...-

An added tidbit

When the conquistadors first landed on the Galapagos islands the komodo dragons hunted then.

A switch-pitcher's glove has four fingers and two thumbs.
I had never heard of a switch-pitcher before, much less a 6-'fingered' glove.

Oregon, crows also can (as a lot of people already know) talk quite clearly. A friend and I were at the Ft. Worth, Texas, zoo one day, in about 1960. He was smoking a cigarette. When we passed by the crow exhibit, the crows kept looking at us like they wanted us to give them a morsel of food. Doug, flipped his cig butt into the cage. One of the crows picked it up with his beak, and of course got burned. He flew into the wire screen screaming at us and flapping his wings. Then he broke into a string of curses that really surprised me! He was calling us sons of bit**es, and the 'mf' words. We made a hasty retreat away from the cage! I had always heard that a crow could be taught to talk if you split it's tongue. Not so, as I later read somewhere. Yes, they are very intelligent and can learn to talk just by hearing people talking. How that one learned to 'curse like a sailor', I don't know. I can't remember what all he said, but we heard several curse phrases from him.

Quite a few birds can be taught to talk,all they need is a fleshy tongue.Starlings are one.I had one for a pet.My cat caught a very young one.I raised it,it had quite the personality.I could go outside with it sitting on my shoulder,it would take little trips and all i'd have to do is whistle and it would come back.

Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history. Spades - King David, Clubs - Alexander the Great, Hearts - Charlemagne, and Diamonds - Julius Caesar.

Heres a strange one while not exactly a tidbit it makes you wonder.I have a book,its a diary of a Revolutionary war Hessian soldier.When he got over here and the soldiers were climbing into the row boats to be transported to shore,one soldier fell overboard.While waiting to be pulled into the row boat,the writer of the diary(I'd have to unpack my books to get his name)claims to have seen a big claw come up grab the floating soldier and pull him under,never to be seen again.
