Armed Forces Day

Armed Forces Day was established to be celebrated on the third Saturday in May.

It started during Harry Truman’s administration when he led an effort to consolidate the various holidays supporting each separate branch of the military into a simple unified holiday to honor the four branches together.

The actual initiation of this day occurred on August 31, 1949, when Truman’s Secretary of State announced the establishment of a joint Armed Forces Day to take the place of the former tradition of having separate days to honor the men and women in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force.

Sheriff Grady Judd

An illegal alien, in Polk County, Florida, who was pulled over in a routine traffic stop, ended up "executing" the deputy who stopped him. The deputy was shot eight times, including once behind his right ear at close range.  Another deputy was wounded, and a police dog killed.  A state-wide manhunt ensued.

The murderer was found hiding in a wooded area. As soon as he took a shot at the SWAT team, officers opened fire on him. They hit the guy 68 times.

Naturally, the liberal media went nuts, and asked why they had to shoot the poor, undocumented immigrant 68 times.

Sheriff Grady Judd told the Orlando Sentinel: "Because that's all the ammunition we had."

The Coroner also reported that the illegal alien died of natural causes. When asked by a reporter how that could be, since there were 68 bullet wounds in his body, he simply replied: “When you are shot 68 times, you are naturally going to die.”

The Half Man-Half Price Store

In 2009, a man had half his body amputated after being run over by a truck. He has not only recovered but opened his own bargain supermarket - called the Half Man-Half Price Store.

Peng Shuilin stunned surgeons with his recovery after almost two years of painful operations at Bujie Hospital in Shenzhen, southern China.

Now the inspirational 37-year-old has become a businessman and is used as a role model for other amputees.

Hospital vice-president Lin Liu said: "We've just given him a check up and he is fitter than most men his age. He is amazing and the only person in the world to survive having so much of his body amputated.

"He had good care but his secret is his cheerfulness - nothing ever gets him down."

Bears In Russia Are Addicted To Jet Fuel

Some brown bears in Russia’s far east have developed a habit of sniffing discarded barrels formerly filled with aviation fuel until they pass out.

The containers were left in the Kronotsky Nature Reserve and the nearby creatures picked on their strong smell of kerosene and gasoline.

The animals love this smell so much that they have begun deeply inhaling the fumes for minutes at a time before digging shallow holes for themselves to lie in once they have achieved their desired state.

Ant Graveyards

Ants have graveyards. 

Two days after an ant dies, its body gives off oleic acid which creates an odor to let the other ants know that it is dead. 

Once the ants catch the scent, they pick up and carry the dead ant off to their ant graveyard. 

They do this because corpses have a lot of bacteria and concentrating the dead to one locations avoid the bacteria from spreading.
