VICTORIES FOR VETERANS CeCe Mazyck

“MY VICTORY WAS FINISHING MY EDUCATION.”

(cont’d)

• Three men were hanged in 1911 for the murder of Sir Edmund Berry. They were hanged in London at Greenberry Hill. The names of the three men were… …Green, Berry, and Hill. • In the 1950s the BBC had a new building erected next to the old building with connecting halls between. The Music Department worried about the problems of transporting grand pianos between the buildings, so they asked carpenters to build a mock-up of a piano to see if it would fit through the hallways and doors. The model piano was constructed in the workshop… …and then found to be too large to pass through the shop doors. • NASA was preparing to launch a rocket in order to study lightning. As the rocket rested in its launcher prior to take-off… …it was hit by lightning, triggering a false take-off and ruining the mission. • Doctors in Los Angeles went on strike in 1976 to protest malpractice insurance rates. During the strike… …the death rate dropped 18 percent. • New York City spent $54,000 in 1981 on an exhibit designed to lure foreign manufacturers to set up shop in the city. The display, called “Make it In New York”… …was manufactured in New Jersey. • There are lots of towns in America with the word “Beach” in their names: Miami Beach, Long Beach etc. But the only town in America that is named simply “Beach” is in… …land-locked North Dakota. • Lucille Ball was once dismissed from a drama class because the instructor thought… …she was too shy.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

* Just a couple of hours southwest of Indianapolis, you’ll find the town of Vincennes, Indiana, home to the Backyard Roller Coasters. This is where John Ivers, a blue-collar worker, decided he wanted to build a roller coaster in the backyard of his home off Highway 41 -- and he didn’t let his lack of an engineering background stop him. The thrilling 10-second ride was completed in 2001, and in 2006 those with less nerve got their own, tamer coaster on the same site. The coasters are open to the public, so visitors can try out either (or both) of the rides by making an appointment. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

• In 1964 a casting director was looking for a man to portray the president in a film called “The Best Man.” Someone suggested Ronald Reagan be offered the part, but the director said… …“Reagan doesn’t have the presidential look.” • The manager of a movie theater in South Korea decided that the running time of “The Sound of Music” was too long. He cut it down… …by editing out all the songs. • 5,000 copies of John Steinbeck’s book “The Wayward Bus” were in a truck traveling from the bindery when there was a traffic accident. The truck was wrecked and all 5,000 copies of the book burned in the resulting fire. The cause of the accident was… …a bus — a wayward bus — that had been traveling down the wrong side of the road. • Albert J . Lowry, author of “How To Become Financially Independent by Investing in Real Estate” and other bestselling books on how to get rich… …filed for bankruptcy under Chapter VII of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. • Horatio Alger, famous for his rags-toriches stories… …died penniless. • The address where Mrs. O’Leary’s cow presumably kicked over a lantern, starting the Chicago fire in 1871… …is now the address of the Chicago Fire Academy. • The first time the Harlem Globetrotters ever actually played a game in Harlem was in 1968… …after they’d been in existence for over 40 years. • In the ancient Greek city of Amyclae, rulers were tired of the panic that ensued whenever the rumor was spread that the Spartan army was on the way to attack the city. To stop the panic, they decreed that anyone spreading such false rumors would be put to death. When the Spartan army really did appear… …everybody was too chicken to report it. The city was taken without a fight. Go on flip the page for more Irony!

I can totally keep secrets. It's the people I tell them to that can't.

Innocent until proven guilty:

Isn't it ironic that when someone who is arrested and placed in jail gets treated worse than those that have been convicted and sent to prison? It's been said that Jail food is terrible but prison food is good.

• In Nebraska, the state department paid a consultant $200/hour to the tune of nearly a quarter million bucks. His job was… …to find ways for the state to save money. • The American yew tree is a shrub used extensively in landscaping around Washington D.C. The botanical name of the bush is… …Taxus. • When Joyce Lott was arrested on drug charges and sent to prison in South Carolina, she was surprised to meet her long-lost sister, who was also in prison for drug charges. When the newspaper ran an article about the unlikely reunion, the sisters got a call… …from their long-lost half-brother. He was also doing time for drugs, larceny, and burglary. • Police arrested Dennis John Alson of Van Nuys, California on forgery charges. He paid his bail with a cashier’s check for $1,500… …which was a forgery. • After a series of burglaries, police in Pasco, Washington loaned the business a fancy $4,000 burglar alarm. Within a week… …it had been stolen by burglars. • In Wausau, Wisconsin in 1981, two women had a fender bender at the Fifth Street intersection. After the cops had wrapped up their paperwork, the two ladies drove off in opposite directions. A minute later… …their cars collided at an intersection a block away.

--Low-sodium foods are everywhere on grocery-store shelves, and it’s assumed those are the ones we should have. The British Journal The Lancet recently set off a firestorm when it reported the result of research: High sodium intake is bad for those with high blood pressure, increasing cardiovascular events and death. (OK, that’s no surprise.) However ... low sodium intake is bad for those with or without high blood pressure and is associated with cardiovascular events and death.
