Add this as 18th...
After posting about rubbing himself and the describing the aftereffects, confused was hit by the ban stick...
1. It only takes a minute? Somehow that's not surprising...
2. A solid liquid? WTF?

WWII did not start with the attack of Pearl Harbor. That was when the US joined the war, if I'not mistaken.
you are correct, but for the intents and purposes of most Americans, it began on 12/7/41. We didn't start it, but we certainly finished it.

Holy sh!t. I honestly thought that American ignorance/arrogance couldn't get any worse. You just set a new benchmark.

Fairly bogus and hard to believe that people are foolish enough to fall for it as written. Comets are not like eclipses, they do not appear on a specific day and blink out of view shortly afterward. Halley's Comet is visible for months at a time depending on your location on earth. It's true that Twain was born and died in years Halley was visible, but the days don't coincide. He died before the comet was visible that year. Also, the quote ""I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it." was hardly a prediction. He was seriously ill in late 1909 when he said it and there was little doubt he would die in any year other than 1910.

Lightning strikes back
# A British officer, Major Summerford, while fighting in the fields of Flanders in February 1918 was knocked off his horse by a flash of lightning and paralyzed from the waist down. Summerford retired and moved to Vancouver. One day in 1924, as he fished alongside a river, lightning hit the tree he was sitting under and paralyzed his right side. Two years later Summerford was sufficiently recovered that he was able to take walks in a local park. He was walking there one summer day in 1930 when a lightning bolt smashed into him, permanently paralyzing him. He died two years later. But lightning sought him out one last time. Four years later, during a storm, lightning struck a cemetery and destroyed a tombstone. The deceased buried here? Major Summerford.
I found this hilarious. Do you think after getting hit by lightening once that you'd get indoors the next time it was storming?

The word "aircraft" is not mentioned once in Beyond the Spectrum, and atomic bomb is not equal to Sun bomb - it does not kill all people who see it. It was typical of the Japanese to launch surprise attacks - anybody could have predicted Pearl harbor.

The Aztecs therefore assumed Cortés to be the legendary man-god, which assisted him in capturing the city and thence Mexico.

WORLD War II did not become "WORLD War II" until the US was dragged into it, thus bringing every hemisphere into the war. Before then, it was a euro/asian war. Therefore, "WWII" did not start until the attack on Pearl Harbor.

I agree. It's not a major war until American is involved.
