Investigative Committee into USA expenditures reported that the Military spent $41.6 Million on Viagara

a crowd of 83,944 watched Australia obliterated 38-7 to give the new Jones era a dismal 0-3 start and leave the Bledisloe Cup to stay where it has for 21 long, dark years.

They obviously wanted hardened fighters.

Maybe the only way they could get their DRUG RIDDEN FORCES to stiffen up to fight ...haha

THUNDERSTORMS

50,000 degree Fahrenheit 5X more than the Sun
Keep your feet together during storm to limit the chances of being struck
Winds can exceed 300mph
Raindrops can exceed 22 mph
Lightning strikes 93 times per second on the world

THUNDERSTORMS

Lightning strikes 93 times per second on the world

How do they know that? Why not a nice round 100.

Derrrr, silly me, it's those experts again.
I guess if the figure was 100, cynical people would say "100? that's too exact to be believable"

Ricky
To get the correct count we have volunteers who stand outside and count. Would you be interested in helping, as we occasionally lose a volunteer or two?

[BillaRickaDickay]

Well Mr Doo, thank you for your kind offer for a "Lightning Strike Observer"
Volunteer was not quite what I was looking for. If you could come back with a realistic offer with some kind of renumeration when you have a vacancy I would certainly consider it. Maybe a crate of Leo every week.
I would be happy to send you a weekly count of any Strikes I see in the Kut Chap area, assuming a vacancy arises in my locale.

[Whistler]

There were no.lightening strikes in Kut Chap today. May I get a couple of Changs instead of Leos please for my filigent observation.

[Doodoo]

Well Rick
You would have to have a Work Permit then as renumeration is requested and or organization does not supply

[BillaRickaDickay]

Never mind Mr Doo, I'll just have to wait until someone comes up with some wonger. Lightning Strike counting was not really my cup of tea, I'm more into the equally important jobs of Counting Stars or my specialty, Counting Ants, where I can draw on my vast experience and knowledge in this field.
Did you know that for every Homo Sapien on the Planet Earth there are 2.5 million Ants (Formicidae)

[Whistler]

Lightning strikes can fry .

As the Pink Panther said after the lightning storm 'dead , dead , dead dead '

I bet you sang this in your mind when reading this post.

WW2 Rationing
Gasoline rationing first came on as only 4 US gallons per week. Later it was reduced to 2US Gallons per week.
This varied dependent on your job.

2 Gallons is 7.57 Liters not a lot of fuel

Interesting, but does this rationing apply to every country in the world or only to certain specific countries?
