I learned to throw them. They didn't ignite until they were at least 5 feet from you. Way safer for the shooter. If you were on the receiving end no real difference. It’s no different than firing a LAW rocket, except we each had to have a loader. The tubes were three or four feet long and we fired them from the shoulder. I never got burnt and they were damned accurate. It was a lot of fun.  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Posted June 17, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted June 17, 2019 This is the 1956 Chrysler Norseman concept car, which was built by Ghia, in Italy. It was on its way to New York in the cargo holds of the SS Andrea Doria, when she was rammed by the Swedish ship MS Stockholm and sank, of the coast of Massachusetts. It took more than a year to build the Norseman and eleven hours for it to go down with the Andrea Doria. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwalchmai Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 He loved his job. Driving a train had been his dream ever since he was a child. He loved to make the train go as fast as possible. Unfortunately, one day he was a little too reckless and caused a crash. He made it out, but a single person died. Well, needless to say, he went to court over this incident. He was found guilty, and was sentenced to death by electrocution. When the day of the execution came, he requested a single banana as his last meal. After eating the banana, he was strapped into the electric chair. The switch was flown, sparks flew, and smoke filled the air - but nothing happened. The man was perfectly fine. Â Well, at the time, there was an old Bulgarian law that said a failed execution was a sign of divine intervention, so the man was allowed to go free. Somehow, he managed to get his old job back driving the train. Having not learned his lesson at all, he went right back to driving the train with reckless abandon. Once again, he caused a train to crash, this time killing two people. The trial went much the same as the first, resulting in a sentence of execution. For his final meal, the man requested two bananas. After eating the bananas, he was strapped into the electric chair. The switch was thrown, sparks flew, smoke filled the room - and the man was once again unharmed. Â Well, this of course meant that he was free to go. And once again, he somehow managed to get his old job back. To what should have been the surprise of no one, he crashed yet another train and killed three people. And so he once again found himself being sentenced to death. On the day of his execution, he requested his final meal: three bananas. Â "You know what? No," said the executioner. "I've had it with you and your stupid bananas and walking out of here unharmed. I'm not giving you a thing to eat; we're strapping you in and doing this now." Well, it was against protocol, but the man was strapped in to the electric chair without a last meal. The switch was pulled, sparks flew, smoke filled the room - and the man was still unharmed. The executioner was speechless. Â Â The man looked at the executioner and said, "Oh, the bananas had nothing to do with it. I'm just a bad conductor." 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
