Santa Anna's siesta cost many troops

(EDITOR'S NOTE: In a manuscript for a book, the author, Gregg J. Dimmick, quoted a Santa Anna officer from the man's "Mexican Account of the Battle of San Jacinto," Texas Almanac, 1857-1873), and James M. Day, 'A compendium of Texas History, 1967): "No important incident took place until about 4:40 p. m. At this fatal moment, the bugler on our right signaled the advance of the enemy upon that wing. His Excellency and staff were asleep; the greater numbers of the men were also sleeping; of the rest some were eating, others were scattered in the woods in search of boughs to prepare shelter. Our line was composed of musket stacks. Our cavalry were riding, bareback, to and from water.")

"It was a catastrophic disaster for Santa Anna and his generals," historian Sebron Wilcox said. "The man was experienced and a tough military leader. Personal pride probably was his worst enemy. He organized and planned his army's Texas campaign. His military successes went to his head."

 

Santa Anna was a treacherous, traitor miserable PoS ... no other character in the history of Mexico remotely compares to that pathetic excuse of a pseudo-soldier. He was a self serving coward who cared nothing about his country. History has been a hard judge on him.

A heated argument between neighbours that ended with one man's denture flying over the fence into the other's yard, never to be seen again, has landed in B.C. small claims court.

On Tuesday, Bob Bjerregaard was ordered to pay his next-door neighbour $1,829 for a replacement and other costs after the Civil Resolution Tribunal found he took Todd King's fallen denture and refused to return it after their dispute on May 27, 2021.

The details of what happened that day are laid out in a decision from tribunal member Leah Volkers, who found that Bjerregaard had committed the tort of conversion against King by intentionally depriving him of his personal property. It does not specify where the neighbours live.

Probably between a Tim Hortons and a curling club.

 

Cross-country skier Remi Lindholm suffers frozen penis in mass start race​

Lindholm explained that he used a heat pack to try to thaw out his appendage once the race was over.
"When the body parts started to warm up after the finish, the pain was unbearable," he added.

Weren’t there any other ways of warming the appendage that weren’t painful?

No, I had a specific idea, which I had shared with my girlfriend.

I guess now that the "Secret of Siam" is out, they closed because it would be hard to compete.

It depends. Maybe it was their plan and they had confetti on the floor and an empty bottle of Champaign on the table.

When we attached tiny, backpack-like tracking devices to five Australian magpies for a pilot study, we didn't expect to discover an entirely new social behaviour rarely seen in birds.

Our goal was to learn more about the movement and social dynamics of these highly intelligent birds, and to test these new, durable and reusable devices. Instead, the birds outsmarted us.

As our new research paper explains, the magpies began showing evidence of cooperative "rescue" behaviour to help each other remove the tracker.

In 1663, the partial fossilised skeleton of a woolly rhinoceros was discovered in Germany. Otto von Guericke, the man who ended up turning these bones over in his hands and trying to work out what the hell to do with them, was no fool.
