I've always wondered what would've happened if they had dropped one of those Brit Earthquake bombs on Mt. Surabachi? Would've made any difference?

Pretty sure it would have knocked the hell out of at least the upper levels of Suribachi.

It's eerie now, if you go look at it on Google Maps. It's half collapsed.

Or if they had set off one under the island and untethered it from the seabed and all added to capsize :whistle:

Oh Jesus  :ROFL: :2funny: :ROFL: :2funny: :ROFL: :2funny:

I had no idea that was a thing.

He sounds like Sheila Jackson Lee. She's an idiot of the Nth degree too. One of her gems is thinking the Constitution is 400 years old, thinking Neil Armstrong visited Mars in 1969, and many, many others. :( And she's been a Congresswoman since 1995.

But we're getting political. Back on topic, today in history, in 1864, the Confederate submarine Hunley sank the USS Housatonic in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina.

Which Sheila Jackson Lee thinks actually happened in 1684 and was caused by Global Warming. From Mars. No politics, just mild humor intended here.  :peace:

Humor or no, you're not far off the mark. She's certifiably looney tunes.

And it ought to look like John Friggin' Wayne. With a dead raccoon on his head.  >:(
