    RIP
    Chuck Mawhinney, the Deadliest Sniper in Marine Corps History, Dies at 75
    tx8fb1113tox.png
    It wasn't until 1991 that the world learned of Marine Corps veteran Charles Benjamin "Chuck" Mawhinney's 103 confirmed kills during his time deployed to Vietnam in the late 1960s. That count made him not only the deadliest sniper of the Vietnam War, but also the deadliest sniper ever to serve in the Marine Corps. But Mawhinney never mentioned his exploits or record to friends or family; it only came out because a fellow sniper wrote a book giving him the title.

    Ain't that the truth...plus Rrsp, you invest taxed money only to be taxed again when you withdraw.

    Another "green" transportation option, although this doesn't seem to get nearly as much press as things like eBikes and light rail. Go figure.

    That's either a small mama bear or the biggest Salmon I have ever seen. Wow.

    This got my curiosity going, so I looked it up. Chinook/King salmon are the largest salmon and get up to 58 inches (1.5 meters) long and 126 pounds.

    That would translate to 0.0073232323 furlong and 9 stones

    Tom, in the future please use units that the average American can relate to.

    Okay, no problem.

    58 - The apparent average IQ of an American who votes.

    1.5 meters - The preferred length of a digital cable or Ron Jeremy's member. You decide. 😉

    126 pounds - More than most of the women I dated throughout my life.

    Did I get an "A" on my term report MBBL? The other stuff I read the Cliff notes on Wikipedia.....
