Frank Hayes (jockey)
Death
The twenty-two-year-old[4] Hayes had never won a race before,[5] as by profession he was not a jockey but a horse trainer and stableman.[6][7] The horse, a 20:1 outsider called Sweet Kiss, was owned by Miss A. M. Frayling.[3] Hayes died in the latter part of the race and his body remained in the saddle when Sweet Kiss crossed the finish line, winning by a head, making him the first, and so far only, jockey known to have won a race after death.[8]Aftermath
Hayes' death was not discovered until Miss Frayling and race officials came to congratulate him shortly after the race. It was suggested that the fatal heart attack may have been brought on by Hayes' extreme efforts to meet the weight requirements,[9] as a newspaper reported he had slimmed down from 142 pounds to 130 pounds in a very short time.[10]After the discovery of Hayes' death, all further post-race formalities were waived by the Jockey Club, the result being declared official without the weighing in.[11] Hayes was buried three days later,[5] dressed in his racing silks at Holy Cross Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York.[12] The horse never raced again, and it's claimed that Sweet Kiss was nicknamed "Sweet Kiss of Death" for the rest of her life.[13]
Wow....blast from the past. I loved those as a kid!!
That's the only toy from the plastic 50/60's era that actually lasted us boisterous kids. Had them for years. found a system when I had grandkids that allowed you to use a tire pump, to load up a liter-sized water bottle, using a release and a bottle adapter. Amazing.
Mine were the early 80's vintage. Probably way less durable but fun for sure!!
If that were true, bras would come in sizes such as: shot, Dixie, solo, stein, big gulp, all the way up to Gatorade cooler.
Duder needs to smoke some more drugs...paid for with his gov handout.
Did you throw him out of a helicopter?

Looks like some subterranean plumbing atop some human skeletons.
/response.
I don't know where it is. I saw it on one of those "It's not my job" memes.
Apparently it's not unheard of to find skeletons with pipes in or on them.

This is how it should be in THIS country.
3 people swinging, 75 recording with their phone.
(unless they're already on the ground and the people have no idea why they're kicking him, then they'll join in)
Hell when my mother was pregnant they encoraged mothers to smoke to lower birth weight and make delivery easier. Thank God The German showed me the way out of the poors gear and kit.
