Tominator Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Re: Odd facts....feel free to add your trivia here The first German serviceman killed in WWII was by the Japanese (China, 1937). The first American was killed by a Russian (Finland 1940), the highest ranking American killed was Lt. Gen. Lesley McNair, killed by the US Army Air Corps. So much for Allies.

The camel is stuffed with a sheep's carcass, which is stuffed with chickens, which are stuffed with fish, which are stuffed with eggs.

AdvantageTimberLou Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Re: Odd facts....feel free to add your trivia here Tim Flock use to race (back in NASCAR's early days) with his pet monkey Jocko in the car. That was until Jocko opened the little door on the floor where drivers would check the right front tire for wear, Jocko opened it during racing conditions and all heck broke loose in that car! That monkey got a little scared and I bet Tim did too!! LOL!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian_Goose Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Re: Odd facts....feel free to add your trivia here Myself being a non smoker, always carry a butane lighter and waterproof matches in my survival kit when i go into the woods. You have to take in account the non smokers who are prepared, plus there is a way higher per capita of people who smoke than get lost in the woods annually. Plus i think most people who get lost are found within the first 24 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Re: Odd facts....feel free to add your trivia here Before the very first atomic bomb test, there was a prediction from the leading scientists on the project that there was a 10% chance that the heat from the blast would be so intense that it would ignite the atmosphere and the resulting firestorm would completely engulf the planet in flames. They went ahead with the test anyway. Upon it's successful completion, Robert Oppenheimer said "I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
