Jackie, mascot of the 3rd south african infantry regiment

Jackie was a baboon and before the War was the beloved pet of the Marr family from Villiera near Pretoria and especially Albert Marr, the son. When Albert Marr attested at Potchefstroom on the 25th August 1915, he asked permission to bring Jackie along with him. Because Jackie was so well behaved and had an impressive bearing, Jackie was adopted as regimental Mascot of the 3rd South African Infantry Regiment and taken on strenght as a member of his Regiment.
On arrival in England he was provided with a special uniform and cap with the badges of his regiment.
He was allowed in the trenches and was a firm favourite and comrade on action service. His acute hearing and eyesight were very useful with Albert, his master whilst on sentry duty.
Jackie would salute officers, use a knife and fork in the correct manner and would light up cigarettes or pipes for comrades.
When Albert was wounded in 1916 by a bulllet in a shoulder, Jackie was beside himself and attempted to comfort the prostrate Albert, even licking his wound.
Jackie was wounded near La Clyte in 1918 by a shell splinter, Albert being wounded by the same shell. Jackie was amputated of his right leg. It was the end of his active service and with Albert they received much publicity whilst recovering from their wounds in Britain. They raised thousand of pounds for the Red Cross and took part in several events. At one such event it was possible to buy a kiss from Jackie for 5 shillings or a handshake for 2/6d.
He was officially discharged at Cape Town on the 26th April 1919 and on discharge wore one gold wound stripe and three blue service chevrons for 1916, 1917 and 1918 active service.

Someone is importing Saddam’s Rolls Royce Corniche Convertible from Iraq to Britain and is selling it on eBay. The page on eBay even goes so far as to give a brief history on the ‘ol dictator.
Does anyone wanna help me buy it?

Scooter Tank!

A military Vespa, the AMCA Troupes Aeról Portées Mle. 56 was used by the French Airborne Forces in Algeria and Indochina. With an M20 75mm recoiless rifle, it was airdropped as a two man, two scooter team. One carrying the rifle, the other ammunition. Hilariously, the gun could even be fired on the move, and it was designed as an anti-tank weapon. Can you imagine being the tank crew that were defeated by a scooter?

Project Orion
Posted on October 23, 2008 by Phyreblade | 10 CommentsFiled Under Images and has these tags: Military, Science!. Humor, Weapons
AKA the worst rocket idea EVAR.
Project Orion was a NASA “Nucular” rocket propulsion system from the 1950s. Except that nuclear powered, in this instance means nuclear BOMB powered.
The Orion rocket was essentially a nuclear pulse rocket designed to use a series of controlled/directed nuclear detonations for propulsion.
Nuclear reactions are some of the most energetic for any given mass of fuel, and could technically be an ideal energy source for high endurance, long range, space flight applications.
However, used in this fashion, it comes at the cost of some rather horrific radiation related side effects. The movie on the sauce page, give a little humorous insight about the problems, crew member radiation levels, eyeburn etc…
And that doesn’t even cover the environmental effects that a number of sequential, high yield nuclear explosions might occur at ground level after the fact… *shiver* But I suppose it would be better than the entire planet getting destroyed…

I remember watching the first Rambo movie with my father when I was a child. Awesome times. I love them all except for the last one. Haven’t seen it, and I’m certainly never going to.

I’m pretty sure the 4th has one of the highest body counts in movie history. And it was awesome.

Looks a bit like “Solid Snake” there…

Rambo. The Epic. I haven’t seen the last one either, but from I hear, it’s actually surprisingly good…
