Speaking of tornadoes, I do believe the UK gets more of them per square mile than the USA, making the UK the Twister Capital of the world.

The difference in size, however, is something else with most tornadoes in the UK passing completely unnoticed.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Nikola Tesla had an obsession with the number 3. Tesla only lived in hotel rooms that were divisible by 3, and he did everything in sets of 3. Tesla also had a good sense of style, he was often clean cut and polished, possibly due to the fact that he was a hygiene freak and a germaphobic. OCD the early days!
Have a great day everybody! @highcountrygal @Countryboyjvd1971 @raustin @Laurap @merlin44 @Mrcrabs

George Washington was out on his property doing some type of work. It was a nasty cold day. He developed some sort of throat infection, I believe, and got very I’ll. The physician started letting his blood, draining it, to reduce his fever. He drained to much and Old George died of to little blood in his system. Literally bled to death. A regimine of simple antibiotics would more than likely saved his life. There was no penicillin at that time. He needed some of this


Almost there folks.

I worked on fighters, not heavies, but I heard this saying about the B-52 in tech school: “A B-52 has the power of eight locomotives, a thousand of miles of wire, and is made from enough aluminum to make 10,000 trash cans. So it flies like eight locomotives dragging 10,000 trash cans strung on a thousand miles of wire.”
