    Crazy isn't it?

    A small group of them survived on an island off the coast of Siberia well past all the others.

    Teeth are too small. Maybe possessed by one?

    I filed them down as to not be killed by her.

    I took my niece golf ball hunting and we ran into a bobcat. The cat wasn’t scared but I wasn’t either. We shared mutual respect. We also saw an owl family. What amazing birds.

    Britain's first satellite launched into orbit in 1962 was accidentally destroyed weeks later by an American atomic bomb test in the upper atmosphere.

    That's a great Fact of the Day sneaks.

    To add to this story....

    The satellites name was Ariel 1. It marked Britain as the 3rd country to place a satellite in orbit after the U.S. and USSR.

    It was manufactured jointly by the United States and Britain proving the UK was incapable of making a satellite on its own.

    It was launched into orbit aboard an American rocket proving the British cannot launch a rocket without U.S. support.

    Yeah, that really sounds like a British person was working with an American team who sent a satellite into space

    I suppose it makes a change, you guys usually cling to our coat tails and take the credit, like WW2

    Wait a minute...like when we had to send your bitch ass equipment and supplies, even before we were in the war? We didn't trust your drunk ass PM and that was a cause of delay, and we still helped out. Winston Churchill's an overrated drunken loser and you're a POS.

    Great men died so you could vacation all the god damn time, you ******* monster. Oh, and some brits died, too.

    You did it all by yourselves with our shit? Incredibly usage of "all by ourselves."

    They ain't want the smoke from the ole U.S. of A. Then they ****** up and brought down the wrath on that ass. They wanted to fight the second stringers. Know your role and shut your mouth you disrespectful cretin. When did Jay Cutler get the gall to call out Elway? When did Derek Carr call out Peyton Manning? The AUDACITY of YOU! God dammit, Val. We should have let them smoke your ******* boots and been done with the land of shitty food and the inferior form of football.

    Be real. The food deserves more credit. For example, the McRib. That's from Britain I think, you can tell by the Mc-.
