Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The headline of this story is the best part:
Prosthetic leg stash found under floor
Plumbers who pulled up the floorboards at a Dorset, England home discovered a cache of hundreds of old artificial legs. Homeowner Mike Sutton told the Dorset Echo he thinks the previous owner "must have been a bit of a Del Boy character," referring to the silly scheming wheeler-dealer in the BBC sitcom Only Fools and Horses. Sutton is investigating whether a charity might be interested in the prosthetics.

There was a French machine gun that was given to US troops instead, that had an open magazine that tended to get dirt in and jam like you said.
That's the gun I was thinking of--I forgot that it was French. Still, it was stupid not to use the perfectly good Springfields.

My new boss is obsessed with military archaeology. Half the office library is devoted to guns and battlefields. One of the sites produced a 17th century pistol a while ago and he's still printing pictures of it for he walls.

The US did use Springfields in WW1. The Springfield is not a machine gun. It was some other machine gun that the US had but didn't use.

I did not know that Mel Gibson has his own church.
The church - which offers a daily morning mass in Latin - follows an antiquated ideology of Catholicism dating back to the 16th century.Female followers of Gibson's church must abide by a strict dress code, requiring them to wear veils over their hair and long skirts, with a ban on pants for women.
Catholics will be glad to know that Gibson's sect is not recognized by the Catholic church so it really is Gibsonism I guess. Looks like Mel could give Tom Cruise a run for his money in the nutty actor business.
Happy Birthday Trudy! Happy Houseday Vortex!
