Fact of the day: The 22nd Polish Artillery Supply Corp's logo is that of a bear holding a shell. That bear is named Wojtek (he who loves war) and was an actual bear that served in the 22nd Artillery Supply Corp. He was gifted to the Polish soldiers by a Syrian when they were marching through the region. During the battle of Monte Casino, Wojtek helped the soldiers in lifting and carrying supply crates to the artillery pieces that eventually levelled and destroyed the monument.

I actually laughed at that. You Americans have a pretty crappy government, it seems.

If the person uses violence (or rather, I prefer terror since that is the “root word” of terrorist), in an attempt to achieve their political aims, they should be labelled as terrorists.

Not just violence, but widespread violence that intentionally targets civilians.

If a person spreads terror without violence, are they still a terrorist?

Fact of the day: The Russian made TT pistol was chambered for 7.62x25mm which was also used by the PPSh smg. Due to how these bullets were made in the USSR, the design and powder used in these bullets made them rather powerful; this allowed these Russian guns to take german ammunition of the same calibre, but the germans couldn't use these rounds as their weapons would explode upon use.

Oh! another WA thingy!

Commend 9003!

Wooh, the latest General Assembly resolution is pretty polarizing, it seems.

Fact of the day: During the meeting between the allied powers to discuss what to do with the now conquered Axis powers, the U.S. and U.K. used the the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombings to gain more influence during the conference to leverage a better deal, threatening the U.S.S.R. that if they escalate, they'll get nuked next. The thing that the U.S.S.R. didn't know at the time, was that the Allies only had two nuclear weapons, both of which were used on Japan.

To add to that. Among the few that were still being produced. It was proposed to be split into smaller "tactical" nukes to clear the landing zones on the beaches of Japan just ahead of the landing forces. This along with proposed use of chemical weapons meant that the invasion would have been one hell of a battle.

I'm glad I have a lot of nukes.. even have some in space!

Proper Hygiene For Medical Instruments!

Fact of the day: Most species of shark breath through a process called ram ventilation; this means that thy must continuously swim in order to breath and not asphyxiate. Due to this, shark species have been known to swim even while they're asleep, with other species learning where ocean currents can flow over their gills for them.

I think they'll be called a maniac (I'd prefer to be called a fruitcake) instead. Also, cops would still be on you for public disturbance.

I thought you said 'sharks are the ramen lf the sea'

But it exists and they're the egg masses of sea hares! It actually looks just like ramen noodles. I wonder what it tastes like... Also, sea hares are hermaphrodites. That's nice.

Does the people of your nation go "We're Nyanba Wan!"?

Yes, it's kinda like "China numba wan" type of nationalistic pride while also being a verbal tick. It goes with the tune of that one lazy town song.

Fact of the day: Sharks and other big fishes have been noted to have high internal body temperatures, which is odd due to them being cold blooded. It was then discovered that sharks and these large fishes have counterflow heat exchange blood vessels that pump cold blood into the core of the body that gets warmed by out going blood. The internal blood is warmed, not by the metabolism, like in warm blooded creatures, but by the active use of their internal swimming muscles, which, by staying warm, have a higher energy cost, but are far more responsive and powerful, whereas the rest of the body stays cold and thus has a lower energy cost.

In what way? It is difficult to truly inspire terror without any form of violence.

Dunno? Maybe having thousand of people in clown costumes and fake knives running around at night?

Fact of the day: Ever wonder why insects are so smaLL? Ever wonder why they didn't get huge? Well in the Permian, there were huge insects, such as the largest the Meganeuropsis permiana a huge crow sized dragonfly, other species of bugs included a millipede that was over 2 metres long! This was caused by the huge amounts of oxygen in the atmosphere at the time, 23 vol % of the total atmosphere, or 115 % of the modern level of O2. This is a theory that was initially dismissed by the scientific community but has been gaining more and more traction in modern times for insect size limitations. We think this O2 link with size has something to do with how bugs breath, being that they breath directly through its trachea, rather than having lungs which are more efficient. Another part of this theory now includes that a lack of predators may have allowed these creatures to have gotten so large.

That kinda happened in the U.S. a few years back, but with only a few dozen incidents, it spooked the whole nation.

I enjoyed that period of time very much.
