Randy Johnson (I think) killed a migratory bird on national television. I don't think they even checked for a stamp.
Cool story, but I dont think its even remotely factual.I read this in an email; not sure if accurate, but was wondering if someone is missing a member
Now, the winner of this year's Darwin Award (awarded, as always, posthumously):
The Arizona Highway Patrol came upon a pile of smoldering metal embedded in the side of a cliff rising above the road at the apex of a curve. The wreckage resembled the site of an airplane crash, but it was a car.
The type of car was unidentifiable at the scene. Police investigators finally pieced together the mystery. An amateur rocket scientist.... Had somehow gotten hold of a JATO bottle (Jet Assisted Take Off, actually a solid fuel rocket)
That is used to give heavy military transport planes an extra 'push' for taking off from short airfields. He had driven his Chevy Impala out into the desert and found a long, straight stretch of road. He attached the JATO unit to the car, jumped in, got up some speed and fired off the JATO!
The facts as best as could be determined are that the operator of the 1967 Impala hit the JATO ignition at a distance of approximately 3.0 miles from the crash site. This was established by the scorched and melted asphalt at that location.
The JATO, if operating properly, would have reached maximum thrust within 5 seconds, causing the Chevy to reach speeds well in excess of 350 mph and continuing at full power for an additional 20 -25 seconds.
The driver, and soon to be pilot, would have experienced G-forces usually reserved for dog fighting F -14 jocks under full afterburners, causing him to become irrelevant for the remainder of the event.
However, the automobile remained on the straight highway for about 2.5 miles (15-20 seconds) before the driver applied and completely melted the brakes, blowing the tires and leaving thick rubber marks on the road surface,
then becoming airborne for an additional 1.4 miles and impacting the cliff face at a height of 125 feet leaving a blackened crater 3 feet deep in the rock.
Most of the driver's remains were not recoverable. However, small fragments of bone, teeth and hair were extracted from the crater, and fingernail and bone shards were removed from a piece of debris believed to be a portion of the steering wheel.
Epilogue: It has been calculated that this moron attained a ground speed of approximately 420-mph, though much of his voyage was not actually on the ground.
You couldn't make this stuff up, could you?
Edit: Just googled it, listed and an unverified urban legend on the JATO wiki page.

We had a B-1B with 13 mule deer painted on the side.
Every time after that flight, the crew was asked if they had their deer tags on them.
Say what you want but that drug saved my life during Covid. It was being used for pneumonia to get you outside of the window where you are most vulnerable. Wouldn’t be here without it.
No worries... It did.
I didn't do a full list of nominees this week (and I shortened the format), simply because I just didn't have the time. Furthermore, due to increased demands on my time, I will need to put the formal GAOW award "on hiatus" for some time. I have a huge number of household infrastructure projects (roof replacement, HVAC replacement, etc.) to get done.
Well, wish me luck. The new roofing materials have arrived and are now sitting atop my old roof. Thus, sometime this week, depending on the weather, a crew should be arriving to install the new roof. I'm hoping Wed 08/10 - Thrs 08/11 as the chances for PM Thunderbumpers are far less (23-24%) than they are for Mon/Tue (08/08 - 08/09) (45-55%)
Remdesivir Side Effects: Common, Severe, Long Term
Learn about the side effects of remdesivir, from common to rare, for consumers and healthcare professionals.www.drugs.com
Common side effects of the drug {remdesivir} they were paying them to give people are, fast heart beat, difficulty breathing, and unusual tiredness or weakness. Also symptoms of decreased hemoglobin, which can cause blood clotting.
Hematologic
Very common (10% or more): Decreased hemoglobin (up to 15%), decreased lymphocytes (up to 11%), prolonged prothrombin time

Find information on clinical trials that are studying remdesivir for the treatment of COVID-19.
www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov
So there were about 9000 people altogether in clinical trials in the United States for that drug.
And in some magical way, somehow, that accounts for hundreds of thousands of people with massive blood clotting issues after contracting COVID-19 prior to any vaccines being available?…
Nope.
Yep.
It was a freaking mess on the aircraft and the runway.
Funny thing though, when I was at Mountain Home, one hit a golden eagle and it did way more damage to the aircraft to include taking out an engine.
Could do with some more of this one

If you were part of the medical industry when this hit you know damn well any and everything was being reported as a "COVID death" and "COVID related." Although since you are making shit up already. I doubt you would admit it.
It seems likely, just like they are trying to normalize "sudden death syndrome" and kids having strokes and heart attacks. They knew what would be coming from their treatment.

The tests never did detect covid. Only the corona virus, which is the common cold/flu. Plus, they ran the PCR tests at 40 cycles to generate more false positives. Anyone that says they had covid, doesn't know. Follow the money! Hospitals and doctors were incentivized to report false results. It's been a scam the entire time!Hundreds of thousands my ass. 9000 my ass.

Basic at Ft. Ord, 1970. CRAZY MF from Amarillo TX (name withheld, lol) at live fire w/ M-16.
Everyone is in an individual chest high concrete "foxhole" and 20 round mags.
SUPPOSED to be shooting 3 round bursts only......deer comes out of the trees above the 400M line.
Suddenly you hear: "Brrrrraaaap".....mag dump. Guess who had 20 pcs. brass around their hole while everyone else only had 3-6? oops!
Deer shot to shit.
But due to the new "VOLAR" program (shit show, btw) only a discontinuation of weekend pass privileges was issued.
"Oh NOOOOOO!!!!!........ Mr. Bill! Not that... remember we're in Ft. Ord CA......Amarillo, TX is 1300 miles away.......
