Fun Facts

Tbr...... You’re right, I’ve only got several different types of those in my collection and demilitarized thousands of them. But you read it on the internet, it must be true.

Thats not what the Google machine says.

And you are correct about so many other things...

Tbr.... Standard military color coding, blue is inert. That ONLY pertains to the projectile. The casing and primer can still be live.

When I was a kid, I found an unfired .50 cal in a field. It had a blue tip, so the Google machine tells me that was an incendiary round...

I kept that thing for years...

VA...... That reminds me of a TDY I had to Guam. Construction workers were running a ditch witch and it started churning up old "pineapple" grenades.

I posted this a couple years ago. I'm adding to it and revising it based on some more interesting stuff.

"Fun Fact" - more than 70 years after world war 2 ended, more than 4 million pounds of unexploded bombs are still found every year in Germany. Before any construction project begins in Germany, from the extension of a home to track-laying by the national railroad authority, the ground must be certified free of unexploded ordinance. Many thousands of bombs, including the occasional very large one, continue to be found on a regular basis - around 15 a day on average. At least 10 4,000 pound "blockbuster" bombs have been found since 2000; these sorts of bombs prompt large-scale evacuations of the surrounding area. And the older they get, the more they deteriorate and the harder it is to predict how they should best be handled. On average one bomb disposal technician dies every year in Germany when things don't work out as planned.

Other countries in Europe have similar problems. France digs up more than 1.5 million pounds of bombs, grenades and artillery shells every year, much of it from World War I. About 400,000 pounds a year in Belgium. This problem will likely continue for some time. It is thought that at least 300 million unexploded shells from World War 1 remain buried in France, posing a continuing threat to construction workers and farmers who accidentally hit them while working.

Chernobyl may get way more press, but France's "Zone Rouge" is probably worse in terms of lack of habitability and danger to those entering. In some areas the concentration is as high as 300 shells per 10,000 m2 (that's about 100 per football field). 460 square miles of France remain off-limits to this day to all construction and human habitation; visitation is extremely dangerous and it is difficult to obtain permission to enter. The ground is littered with the remains of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and animals and a few areas are so polluted that 99% of plant species will not grow there and the area remains a devastated, plantless wasteland which looks today almost as it did more than 100 years ago - a mess of bones, mud, bullet-riddled helmets, metal, barbed wire and junk. At the current rate of cleanup, estimated completion date is around 500 more years.

Andrew..... You forgot the most important line in the song...."We're nookie bound"

Lol

"BT...... I hear "goofballs" and now I'm picturing Bill Murphy singing "Northstar CIT's" in the movie Meatballs. Lol"

Oh dear god. Why did you do that? I just discovered the words of that song were stored away, deep in my brain, taking up memory space that could have been used for something else.

We're the northstar CITs so pity us, the kids are brats the food is hideous, we're gonna smoke and drink and fool around, we're the nothstar cits

again over and over at a faster tempo

Damn! Right to the bone! You...you Coastal intellectual, you!

BT

Should we debate this and call each other names... you know, like every other forum thread?

BT

Nuns would never talk about Kegels...

Giggles are very good for the Kegels. That’s what the nuns in Catholic school told me anyway.

BT

Lmao

If she operates that vacuum from a kneeling position, Would there be any question? Heck, I might even pitch a tent and make a night out of it.

BT

Rumor has it that she'll cum for the hose if you'll stay for the vacuum.

Good, I think she likes the hose!!

BT

Lmfao. That was good.

Clearly, I “re-commenced“ to tiling before I should have.

Dern! Dern! Double-dern!

BT

That sucks- at sea level. Sorry, no dick pics for anyone.

FF: Mrs. G's throat entertains my dick, with her boobs on my goofballs.

Good..... that offer was extended to BT. I’d need to see your cock before I entertain taking it in my throat.

Knees? Your default picture suggests on your elbows is an option.

Bendy babes are fun. Fact.

BT...... damn it. I just saw that. Was supposed to be Murray. Sorry for the faux pas.......may I make it up to you......on my knees?

Murphy...Murray... You’re killin’’ me, Smalls!

BT

BT...... I hear "goofballs" and now I'm picturing Bill Murphy singing "Northstar CIT's" in the movie Meatballs. Lol
