I believe German Shepherds were referred to as “police dogs” for the same reason.
People are terrible.the youngest person to ever give birth was 5 years old https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lina_Medina
took me a moment to realize that the only way this could've happened, in addition to the extremely accelerated puberty condition, is that she had to have been abused to even get pregnant. Super sad but she's still alive at 87 which I find incredible
Mmmm this is a solid TILThe song "Twilight Zone" by Golden Earring was inspired by the Jason Bourne books.
The follow up to this story is equally unreal. He made his next start 5 days later and pitched a complete game! As a matter of fact, after throwing a 15+ innings in that start, he pitched 9 complete games in his next 10 starts (and his one non complete game was an 8 inning outing!). His ERA in those outings was 1.72. (!!!!!)Facing the San Francisco Giants, the 42-year-old Warren Spahn became locked into a storied pitchers' duel with 25-year-old Juan Marichal. The score was still 0–0 after more than four hours when Willie Mays hit a game-winning solo home run off Spahn with one out in the bottom of the 16th inning. Marichal's manager, Alvin Dark, visited the mound in the 9th, 10th, 11th, 13th, and 14th innings, and was talked out of removing Marichal each time. During the 14th-inning visit, Marichal told Dark, "Do you see that man pitching for the other side? Do you know that man is 42 years old? I'm only 25. If that man is on the mound, nobody is going to take me out of here." Marichal ended up throwing 227 pitches in the complete game 1–0 win, while Spahn threw 201 in the loss, allowing nine hits and one walk.
I understand why the game changed, but baseball lost a lot of its charm when pitchers stopped throwing complete games.To conclude: man throws 200 pitches in a 16 inning game, then proceeds to throw 89 innings in the next month. AT AGE 42.
Would have never guessed the worst maritime disaster in history was on a river.A steamboat, the Sultana, exploded in 1865 and killed 1165 people. Worst maritime disaster in US history

And no one was ever held accountable.Although designed with a capacity of only 376 passengers, she was carrying 2,137 when three of the boat's four boilers exploded and she burned to the waterline and sank near Memphis, Tennessee.
Fitting for today's America.And no one was ever held accountable.
