@Clipperwiz - I am one of those old folks who listened to Harry Lauder in the good old days, some records that my mother had (similar to the note posted here, she was born in 1911), and just this morning it occurred to me that there might be others out there who had heard of him. Certainly seems...

@TheThunderduck "Russian Mig-25 was clocked at Mach 3 for the first time and ourmilitary went nuts thinking the Russians had a super jet" Great fun, competing with the Russians; More's Law: "More's better":-) That's the American way, bigger, better, faster, etc. Our people listening to the Russia...

Right, it's lucky that Germany made mistakes. Remember the movie, Sink the Bismarck? What if Germany had built a Lexington class aircraft carrier instead of the Bismarck and sent that out on the Atlantic? And instead of killing millions of Jews for no reason, if they had drafted the men into the ...

Barium is spelled a couple of different ways. Barium is of course a medical term, referring to what the surgeon does with his mistakes, as well as perhaps other interesting medical definitions:-)

Andrew Jackson is alleged to have said that it must be a pretty small mind that can only think of on...

Anybody know whether Lehrer is the name he was born with or just a stage name? It seems quite a coincidence that he was a teacher, and his name is Yiddish for teacher.

It's not like Dylan couldn't play guitar himself when he wanted to, but Langhorne's style is just right for this. Just imagine using this guitar style instead of Dylan's for House of the Rising Sun; you can't beat Dylan's version of that on his first album, all by himself. Some people talk about ...

Over and over we see the failure of socialism; probably the best example today is the comparison of North Korea and South Korea, just like East Germany and West Germany before their Wiedervereinigung (reunification). Some people like to think the repeated failures are the fault of individual lead...

It is alleged that somebody whose name escapes me at present, around 1900, bent pressed 385, then one arm pressed 110 and had the record for many years for most weight overhead by any method. If I recall correctly, Paul Anderson could do more than that with a barbell from a rack, in the 1950's, ...

Conspiracy theories are fun, and the conventional reality is really strange this time. It's only in recent years that anyone could drill in deep water like that at all, but BP and their contractors can; so, how can we believe they are that good and still so dumb that it took months of failure bef...

@moproducer I looked at appaloosa42's post & yours; I'm a mite bewildered (not lost:-). Are Buddhists atheists, or so different from Christians that we cannot share any common goals? Don't we all cling to our religion (and sometimes also our guns, which are good for fun and defense:-) even when ...
