Thank-you for that, ER. That was interesting, if a bit rough. Then I have always found "what might have been" interesting.

Interesting fact: 1 in every 3 Muslim fanatic terrorists is as much of a scumbag as the other two.

Continuing from ere . . .

640,000? 750,000? What ever the number of casualties inflicted during the American Civil War on both sides. The number pales with the number of casualties suffered by both sides during World War I.

0.956 million Britain and the Empire
1.200 million Austria-Hungary
1.400 million France
1.700 million Russia
2.000 million Germany

And if you add together the casualties during the War of Italy (500,000) and Turkey (350,000) that total (850,000) is also higher than that suffered by both sides during the American Civil War.

One similarity is that both wars lasted about the same length of time or about 4 years. American Civil War (1861-1865) World War I (1914-1918)

Next time: I'll have a little list.

According to that ever-brilliant realist Dr. Michael CC Adams, in his book Living Hell, Union scouts used to track the Confederate army by following the rank smell of dysentery that hung around their camps and marches and battle lines, and which was discernible from great distances. He theorized this condition was worse in that army because the Confederates relied heavily on green corn in their rations, being too starved to wait for the corn to reach proper maturity before consuming it. Supposedly a year after every major battle, wild corn was seen to be growing prolifically on and around former battle sites from it being passed out of the soldiers mostly undigested. In the ultimate in horror, on occasion corn plants grew out of skeletonized remains, indicating someone died with the corn in his digestive tract, and grew from his rotten remains.

That's why Harrison Ford when asked if he needed a hand replied "I don' t need a Han, I'll do it Solo!"  Wink

In ancient Ireland the way a warrior swore fealty to his warlord was to (no I am not making this up) suck on his nipples. One means of deposing another warlord, if you spared his life and didn't make a trophy of his head--a popular Celtic pastime and possibly the origin of today's jack o' lantern) was to slice off his nipples so that no future warriors could swear allegiance to him.

I like when you're funny without being mean, Sven. That was really funny. In fact that was great!

I have a little list.

2020 is expected to be  a watershed year for Marvel films, as it'll be the end of the current Phase 3 and the beginning of Phase 4. And what are we to get in Phase 4. At this time, one can expect . . .

Sequels to . . .
Ant-man and the Wasp -- Black Panther -- Doctor Strange -- Spider-man.

These 1sts . . .
The 1st solo film for Black Widow, and they are looking for a woman to direct.

The 1st appearance by Captain Britain.

The 1st film for Moon knight -- the Eternals -- Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan) -- the Young Avengers.

Miscellaneous
Another run at trying to do a film featuring the Fantastic 4 and a film with the In humans, which--apparently--has been delayed.

Both phases being or not bridged by Guardians of the Galaxy III.

Next time: how much would you pay for a burger?

John Lennon was a big fan of ABBA's S.O.S. He called it one of the best pop songs ever.

That is a good song. In fact ABBA has a lot of good music and I don't care who knows I think so, lol.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
