This is one of the last photos to be taken of the Titanic. You'll notice that there is no smoke coming out of the 4th stack. That is because it was only there for cosmetic reasons to make the ship look more powerful and faster. The fast ships of the day had four stacks, so the Titanic was built with the 4th stack so that it appeared to be as impressive as the other vessels. Instead the stack was used for venting steam from the kitchens and for ventilation. |

We all know about the mutiny on the Bounty, yes? What is less well-known is the journey of Captain Bligh and the others who remained loyal to him after the mutiny. Nineteen men and some supplies in a 23 foot open boat with about 7 inches of freeboard...and Bligh captained them for 3500 miles to safety, losing only one man, who sacrificed himself so that the others could escape. It's a hell of a story, and you can read it in the man's own words HERE |

Titanium is one of the most common elements in the Earth's crust.
Trouble is, it wants to combine chemically with damn near everything. |

Play the video below as you read this:
From Strategy & Tactics Magazine No. 124
American Military Courts in the European Theater of Operations during World War II passed 433 death sentences - 255 for murder and rape and 188 for military offenses - of which only 102 were actually carried out, 69 for civil offenses and one for military offense, "desertion to avoid hazardous duty," Pvt Eddie Slovik. I've been waiting for a while to write that tidbit up.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzylijGfBwQSome of these US soldiers were, in fact, executed by British hangmen, Albert and Tom Pierrepoint. Albert Pierrepoint went on to later execute over 200 German war criminals. So, he executed men from both sides of the conflict. |

Browns Ferry had the exact same issue as Three Mile Island but the luck of an operator who knew what the fuck was going on saved them from the catastrophe that was TMI.
The problem? Idiots. and a stuck Pressure Operated Relief Valve And thus was born INPO.

Phun Phact: A pig can survive without its bacon. Given time, it will grow a new bacon. Unfortunately for pigs, the rest of their body is also quite delicious and it is more cost-effective to butcher the whole pig and start over with a new one.

The 1851 "Navy" Colt earned it's name from the engraving around the cylinder of the Texas Navy kicking the Mexican Navy's ass during the battle of Campeche. The scene was chosen by Sml Colt to honor the Texas Nav, which had been a major purchaser of the Paterson revolver, the sale taking place at an opportune time to keep Colt's firearms company from insolvency. |

The St. Louis Arch has foundations sunken 60 feet into the ground, and is built to withstand earthquakes and high winds. It sways up to one inch in a 20 mph wind, and is built to sway up to 18 inches.
The internal structure of the arch is made from 3/8" carbon steel plate. The exterior is 1/4" stainless steel. The first successful parachute jump from a moving plane was made above the Jefferson Barracks military post, near St. Louis, on March 1, 1912. U.S. Army Captain Albert Berry climbed to 1,500 feet in a Benoist aircraft and jumped. Missouri is great at making movie stars, putting out the likes of Brad Pitt, John Goodman, Dick Van Dyke, Jenna Fischer, and “Mad Men” star Jon Hamm, along with several others. The best selling music artist from Missouri is Sheryl Crow, born in Kennett, Mo.
