400' Flagpole with a 60' x 120' U.S. Flag - "Hand Salute!"

I am not sure Napoleon was ever really himself after the Russian campaign. What he expected after his victory at Borodino and what really turned out was very different. Expecting the Russians to surrender only having them chase him all the way back to France may have put some doubt in his mind. Maybe that doubt is what affected his decisions at a place like Waterloo. I know in sports that if you loose your confidence it can be hard to get back. I imagine the same could be said about war generals. Just a thought. Enjoyed the post.

@Canuck12:

As offensive as the costume may be, it’s actually pretty clever. And well done…

Offensive LOL?  Really? ;)

I hope every would-be suicide bomber, or family member of one of these clowns is deeply offended.  Better file a human rights complaint!

lol

International weaker sex day.

Actually, my girlfriend was pretty strong in the sex department on that day. It certainly wasn’t weaker than any other.

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”

All though I loved Ender’s Game I found all the other books in that seires to be extrmely boring and I wasn’t able to finish any of them.

On the other hand I loved Ender Shadow and Ive read all the Shadow books which I also love. I like how after battle school the Shadow books focus on Earth politics and what the future geopoliticals is like. Plus Enders Shadow is longer so it’s a better deal.

Last night I watched House on FOX with my wife and teenager.  DIAGNOSIS : Bubonic Plague

This morning I awaken to the news that a case of Bubonic plague has beeen diagnosed in CA!!

I heard on local radio that this is the second time since the show started that House pulled a “We called it immediately before it happened!” storyline.

I like this show as it has unlikeable characters…House, Wilson, Cutty …

Last nights eppisode also covered different moral outlooks in medical and personal beliefs.
Bravo! Brava!

Last night I mentioned to my wife that House doesn’t have as much of the characters’ social lives as a lot of the other “Medical Center” shows.

Now that was a flashback!  I haven’t thought of that show in 30+ years.

for the surviving members of Led Zeppelin. …

yay !

Oh God, anybody who uses the word “Phat” in a conversation deserves to be shot. Period.
