Civil War sniper rifles!

My great grandfather John Wesley Burleson was a sharpshooter in the Civil War, and he was said to be super accurate with his long caplock rifle.

This is his only surviving known photo, he does not look too happy:

The foremost Civil War sniper rifle was the British “Whitworth”, a Civil War confederate "sniper rifle" that used a hexagonal barrel with hexagonal bullets:



If you can find a Whitworth rifle for sale, expect to pay over $70,000.

Check this out, a Civil War rifle being shot at 420 yards. Amazing!

Definition of Nemo me impune lacessit!

We have all seen the "Don't tread on me" flag from the American Revolution minutemen:



But there is a latin equivalent:

"Nemo me impune lacessit"

The Latin phease Nemo me impune lacessit is loosely translated as "no one attacks me with impunity", related to the old Gaelic "Wha daur meddle wi' me?".

I love the patriotic attitude of Virginians, and their license plate motto:



It is also related to the latin "Non inultus premor", meaning "I cannot be touched with impunity".

Leprosy is unknown in America

Leprosy is almost unknown in America, but it is still common in some countries.

I have never seen a Lepur, but I read that leprosy is characterized by disfiguring skin sores, nerve damage, and progressive debilitation.

Lepers look very sad:

Aircraft crash: Four buildings hit

Amazing photo below shows great detail.

The pilot at low level had no control over his aircraft.

It narrowly misses a crowd gathered for the air show and slams into four buildings.

One can only imagine the horror of the occupants inside those buildings.













Reports said that the crash scared the crap out of them . . .

Mexican Monkeys Grab Woman’s Chalupa!

This scary case of Molesting Mexican Monkeys



I’m not sure what part of a woman the chalupa is, but I hope that she was not hurt too badly.

Cat and crow fight!

It gets good about halfway in:

Funny faucets!

Check out these Funny faucets!

And these "cool faucet" examples.

See the giant man eating chicken!

It’s true!

I went to the county fair, and for only $5, you can see a giant man eating chicken:












This is what you see after paying your money and going inside:

Death by pithing!

Evidently, you can kill a terrosist by pithing.

Years ago, I met a European fellow who claimed to have worked in the “intelligence community” (a spy) and he told me a tale worth repeating!

He told me that when they need to dispatch a terrorist and make it look like an accident, they use pithing:



I remember pithing frogs in high school dissection class, it does kill quickly and painlessly, with no mess



You can kill a hog or a cow by pithing, and they say it also works on humans.

This spy fellow told me that it’s easy to kill a person by pithing, using an ordinary ice pick, sharpened like a knife:

1 – You attack from behind, forcing the enemies head down to their chest.

2 – You pick a spot immediately above the hairline (to hide the incision mark)

3 – You thrust-in the sharpened ice pick and wiggle it, killing the part of the power brain that control breathing and heartbeat.

4 – When withdrawing the ice pick, you pinch the incision area and there will be only a 1/8 inch scar, well hidden in the victim’s hair.

They say that a coroner will almost always miss the incision and brain tissue damage are mark the cause of death as “presumably natural causes”.

Here is now they pith cattle: (WARNING: GRUESOME, not for squeamish pussies)

Women make great riflemen

The North Carolina Adjutant General says that civilian participation in competitive shooting events helps to improve National Defense and Public Safety.

As good citizens, this is a worthy goal that we wholehearted embrace.

We are talking heed and practice our shooting skills on our rifle range on the ranch.

The only thing sexier than a good looking blonde is a good looking blonde with an assault rifle:


Janet loves her AR-15 assault rifle and she is a crack shot!

Janet has been doing great and she can now do a clean kill at over 200 yards (two football fields).
We just got our first .308 and with a Leupold 20x 40mm scope and a target stock!

Janet shot four one-inch bullseyes yesterday from 300 yards. Amazing!

We are looking forward to when we can go to the Butner range, a 1,000 yard monster where we can open-up with a 50 caliber sniper rifle at a length of ten football fields.

We are working with a professional long range rifle coach, which is not inexpensive, but that's the best way to learn how to make a clean kill at 1,000 yards.

When talking about long-range accuracy you have to practice "zen" controlling your heartbeat and breathing, almost going into a trance.

Women are great at this meditation and focus on long range targets.
