All the other animals died in hours breathing that air. It caused the lungs to liquefy. Humans lived in homes that had poor insulation and they had to cover up with wet towels and many died. Thats black cloud moved at 60 MPH and just made the day into night. The jackrabbits were able to survive on very dry conditions, while all the natural predators died off, creating a huge population rise. Entire counties were covered in jackrabbits running around. Its on the History Channel and its a must see. I could not believe how bad it was back then.

The locusts arrived because all the animals that ate them also died ( birds etc…) SO it was the same for other bugs like Centipedes and spiders… just showed up 10 fold and stung children and old people to death.

They said it covered the eastern half of USA is 1/4 inch dust, plus the Atlantic on the worst day called “black Sunday”

theres a reason that hajjis use aks. The AK will function even without maintenance, so any idiot can use it.

M4s are like girls. You need to take good care of them or they will crap out on you. Sometimes the screw you over even when you do take good care of them, :-P but they are still a beautiful weapon and can drop a hajji from well beyond his own range. I’ll give it to you that the AK has a more powerful round, but carrying an extra mag or two is no problem.

@whoman69:

I wouldn’t at all say stomped.Â In fact he was not defeated, merely not able to further advance due to the logistics.

Logistically, beginning the overland journey from Boston to Quebec City in September was a dumb idea to begin with, but Arnold then lost the part of his army that hadn’t died from disease or exposure in his attack on the city itself. The city was held with the loss of only 5 of its defenders. Arnold should get credit, however, for having his men going into the attack on Dec 31st knowing that their enlistment was up the following day…

@ncscswitch:

Well you know Southerners can’t drive, nothing that moves faster than a John Deere or a Massey Ferguson anyway :-P

That is why they are impressed with NASCAR. :mrgreen:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Ever hold something on a string above a cat and swing it around? You know, where their heads just go around and around when they can’t reach it? That’s how I envision the thousands of fans at a NASCAR event!

@Imperious:

a democrat will broadcast his love for the donkey 24/7. Plus most of the democrats are not even registered to vote because they are lazy and wont go to make any change unless their is a “real crisis”

am i the only one who finds this a little bit contradictory?
The dems will broadcast love for their party without bothering to vote for it? Is America the only nation where this makes any sense?
