Update on the Polish bomb defusal – Ka-BOOOM
?? I talked about this story yesterday. The plan was to have the bomb defused by the end of the week. Either the bomb or the technicians thought it could be done way faster. Luckily nobody was hurt. The biggest World War Two bomb ever found in Poland exploded under water on Tuesday as navy divers tried […]
Hundreds evacuated as Polish divers begin high-risk bomb defusal
Recent dredging operations turned up a 12,000 pound WWII bomb lodged (and still active) in the mud of a channel in the Baltic Sea on the Polish coast. The bomb, a “Tallboy” of British design and use, was an “earthquake” bomb, what we’d now call a bunker buster. The bombs were hardened with a thick […]
Stupid Criminals of the Week
All of this week’s tips come from 5th/77th FA (aka KoB, aka the Gun Bunny). He did all my work for me this week. I’d offer to give him my paycheck for the week, but salaries around these parts run into the negative. Former Social Security employee gets 4 years for $732K fraud scheme I’m […]
Yer Saturday Chuckle
Obligatory warning: may possibly offend those who are overly religious.

Gabriel: Yes, God, I ha . . . wait, did you say “2020s”, as in plural? God: Yes. […]
A Saturday Morning Tune
Another fine older tune – and one with which I think we can all likely identify. No other explanation or comment necessary. Have a fine weekend, all. And be careful out there.
Let’s laugh at some Commies

Soviets dancing to all manner of modern pop music. wap – cardi b ft megan thee stallion pic.twitter.com/s76ybohXOY — soviet soldiers dancing (@communistbops) September 14, 2020 The whole […]
They’re stealing the mailboxes!
Remember the United States Postal Service? That group of mail carriers that nobody thought much of any more. They’ve been in the red for decades now, and both sides of the aisle think it’s an issue. One thing the postal service has been doing the last several years is cut back on un-needed services. Routes […]
A Long-Distance Dedication . . . .
Nothing new from DPAA this week – their only news release concerned a Marine they’d previously identified on their “Recently Accounted For” web page a couple of months ago and included in a “No Longer Missing” article at the time. So I thought I’d provide this instead. This one is dedicated to all those busybody […]
