Thread: sneakers' "Random Fact of the Day" thread

Here's a Broncos fun fact O' the day:

DT only needs 736 yds and 4 TDs to pass Shannon Sharpe as the #2 all time for yards and TDs in Broncos history. At that point, he'll still need around 3000 yds and 30 TDs to catch Rod Smith.

Fact of the day from me... today in 1913 French aviator Adolphe Pegoud became the first pilot to fly a loop the loop. Some sources disagree about the day so it technically may not be today, but still a good fact I thought!

This is incorrect. In 1913 a Russian pilot named Captain Pyotr Nesterov became the first pilot to fly a loop. Pegoud was the 2nd.

Can't. We are not in the lounge and NTL is foaming at the mouth.

The only plane allowed to fly on 9/11 after the attacks was a plane from San Diego to Miami delivering anti-venom to a man bitten by a highly poisonous snake. It was accompanied by two jet fighters.

Despite rifling, on average it took 250-300 shots fired to produce 1 casualty during the American Civil War.
