I am not sure what species the pastry cartels are going after next. To be honest the pastry cartels scare me. If they cut off their product there will be riots in the street.

The Funnel Cake Cartel seems poised to make its move into the big time. The elephant ears people wouldn't have a chance against such aggression.

They even had that GPS on their snorkeling, diesel/electric subs too, which the Union's submarines kept the Chinese' Navy from helping the Confederates take over Saudi Arabia when they needed more oil.

Parasols were replaced by handbags, sunroofs and convertibles replaced Conestogas.
No longer protected from the falling ordure of flying buffalos' fecal bombs, it became necessary to consume buffalo wings to keep them grounded. It's still important to watch your step, but today it's almost safe enough to look up at the sky.

Few people today remember that the modern tradition of "Trick or Treat" at Halloween dates back to the ancient Celtic tradition of "Arkan Farl", a brutal custom under which children would be forced to wander by each house in a given village and either be gifted with warm pastries, or randomly attacked by a savage, knife-weilding Druidic priest against whom they would have to fight to the death before moving on to the next hut.

After running the gauntlet of each hut in the village, the few surviving children left would be permitted to eat the pastries they collected while the fallen children would simply be left as decorations in front of the huts where they were killed.

Nobody knows why the Celts engaged in this ritual, other than to speculate that the threat of an "Arkan Farl" festival was used by Celtic parents to ensure absolute obedience and good manners from their kids.

The Trojan war was, of course, named by the winners and allowed then to gain the lions share of shelf space for their product in pharmacies across the world.

... and the batch of NORMA 10mm ammo used for the first round of the Supergun acceptance testing was, most unfortunately, produced on a Friday. The pressure variance problems. for which NORMA 10mm loads were famous, were therefore accentuated by all the distraction of workers mentally preparing for weekend partying. One round created an overpressure condition that ruptured the first two sections of the Supergun barrel. The program never truly recovered from this mishap.

The fact that there were samurai rabbits has been proven a hoax.

Not only have there never been nor are there now rabbits, hares or bunnies in Japan with the possible exception of Bugs Bunny, but the strict social order of the culture made it improbable that a cute, fuzzy bunny could rise from woodland creature class into the warrior caste.

There were and are today ninja warrior turtles.
That's an indisputable fact.
I seen it on the TV.

My tuxedo cat Gunny just wandered in, gave me a nudge and a wink to remind me to post about his origins.

Most, if not all, people know that cats were worshiped in Ancient Egypt. Archeologists have even found complete tombs with mummified cats in their own little coffins.

What is less well known is the early diplomatic links that Egyptian cats had with their various cousins around the world. Particularly in times of war the Egyptian cats kept in close touch with their counter-parts on the opposing side.

There was such a need for diplomacy, the Order Of The Tuxedo Cat was formed and small tuxes were knitted by the Pharaohs wives. Cats in these early tuxes could easily get through enemy lines posing as waiters and relay messages back and forth.

This is one of the reasons for the long reign of the Egyptian Empire and the Pharaohs. And as time went on the Pharaohs wives carried on the tradition of knitting these small tuxes for the Tuxedo Cat Corp.

The Egyptian Empire would probably still reign today except for an unfortunate accident. Rames III second wife simply could not keep knit-one pearl-two straight and thus the Empire started to disintegrate from lack of diplomatic connections and small tuxes.

The Tuxedo Cat Corp got exceedingly grumpy about the whole mess and took it upon themselves to create their own tuxes using their own hair...and thus the Tuxedo Cat was born.

Today you can still see remnants of the Tuxedo Cat Corp in the regal bearing of all Tuxedo Cats. However they refuse to admit they crossed enemy lines as waiters. Instead they insist they used false passports and posed as Ninja-cats.

This can't be true of course since everyone knows Ninja-cats evolved after Tuxedo cats.

The prototype unimog was first used in the Oklahoma land run of 1889. It was used by my Great great grandfather to secure the property that is now downtown Oklahoma City. Also, he cheated, jumped the gun as a "Sooner". You just can't stop a unimog on horseback.
