Nov 12, 1959: Jacques Piccard & Earnest Vigil load iron shot, used for ballast, onboard bathyscaphe Trieste in preparation of Project Nekton. On January 23, 1960 she reached 35,813 ft at Challenger Deep, the deepest known point of the seabed on Earth, located in the western Pacific Ocean at the southern end of the Mariana Trench. I dropped a few coins and a can of spam from Hawaii when sailing over the Mariana Trench.




Nov 12, 1970: Exploding Whale Day! - the Oregon Highway Division consulted with the U.S. Navy and decided the best way to dispose of a beached whale carcass was to blow it up... with a 1/2 ton of dynamite. The explosion caused blubber to rain down on spectators & cars for over a 1/4 of a mile. A five-foot chunk of whale blubber hit a new Oldsmobile that spectator Walter Umenhofer had bought at a dealer's "Whale of a Deal" promotion. Due to the physical damage and the smell that permeated the car, insurance covered the full retail value of the Olds.

The TV segment is a classic. Ya gotta see it to believe it. Early Internet!  LMAO!

Why I never mess with a woman holding a knife, especially a Filipino female...

This headhunting still went on during WWII, instead of using guns Filipino warriors would hide in the forests and ambush the Japanese. They would bring back their heads to their tribe and do a black magic ceremony with it and put their heads on a spike to ward off future attacks. Even today the Philippines government fears these Northern tribal lands.

No matter which side you lean on or perhaps you remain neutral we'll  probably have to wait 50 years to get the actual truth just like a poor Jewish university student wrote a thesis on the 1948 "Nakba" (massacre) in 1998 which he received a score of 97% but later to be tar & feathered, and sued by his own people and forced into isolation because he broke the golden rule of "thou shall never speak of it!" Denial is still prevalent to this very day, especially Zionist narratives.


Hilaire Belloc on the difference between the barbarian and the civilized man:

The Barbarian hopes — and that is the mark of him, that he can have his cake and eat it too. He will consume what civilization has slowly produced after generations of selection and effort, but he will not be at pains to replace such goods, nor indeed has he a comprehension of the virtue that has brought them into being. Discipline seems to him irrational, on which account he is ever marveling that civilization, should have offended him with priests and soldiers.... In a word, the Barbarian is discoverable everywhere in this, that he cannot make: that he can befog and destroy but that he cannot sustain; and of every Barbarian in the decline or peril of every civilization exactly that has been true.

We sit by and watch the barbarian. We tolerate him in the long stretches of peace, we are not afraid. We are tickled by his irreverence; his comic inversion of our old certitudes and our fixed creed refreshes us; we laugh. But as we laugh we are watched by large and awful faces from beyond, and on these faces there are no smiles.

We permit our jaded intellects to play with drugs of novelty for the fresh sensation they arouse, though we know well there is no good in them, but only wasting at the last.

Yet there is one real interest in watching the Barbarian and one that is profitable.

The real interest of watching the Barbarian is not the amusement derivable from his antics, but the prime doubt whether he will succeed or no, whether he will flourish. He is, I repeat, not an agent, but merely a symptom, yet he should be watched as a symptom. It is not he in his impotence that can discover the power to disintegrate the great and ancient body of Christendom, but if we come to see him triumphant we may be certain that that body, from causes much vaster than such as he could control, is furnishing him with sustenance and forming for him a congenial soil—and that is as much as to say that we are dying.

THIS AND THAT AND THE OTHER by Hilaire Belloc, 1912 (PDF)

Belloc's 1937 book The Crusades: the World's Debate, he wrote

    The story must not be neglected by any modern, who may think in error that the East has finally fallen before the West, that Islam is now enslaved – to our political and economic power at any rate if not to our philosophy. It is not so. Islam essentially survives, and Islam would not have survived had the Crusade made good its hold upon the essential point of Damascus. Islam survives. Its religion is intact; therefore its material strength may return. Our religion is in peril, and who can be confident in the continued skill, let alone the continued obedience, of those who make and work our machines? ... There is with us a complete chaos in religious doctrine...We worship ourselves, we worship the nation; or we worship (some few of us) a particular economic arrangement believed to be the satisfaction of social justice...Islam has not suffered this spiritual decline; and in the contrast between [our religious chaos and Islam's] religious certitudes still strong throughout the Mohammedan world lies our peril.
