He had 6 kids, he couldn't have sex after polio, so you do the math.

He contracted it in 1921, perhaps that's where the 21 came from

Probably, it's been almost 30 years since I've been out of college, I can't retain everything I learned.
Thanks for the correction, I stand corrected.

Jun 7, 2004IRVING, Texas -- Bill Parcells apologized Monday for calling the surprise plays used in practice "Jap plays," saying the remark was inappropriate. The league said Tuesday that it will not take any action nor will it review the Cowboys coach's comments.

My ex wifes grandfather worked at Oakridge Tn on one of the bombs we dropped on Japan, in the "Secret City" as they called it.

Alpha Track Calutron at the Y-12 Plant in Oak Ridge used an electromagnetic separation process to enrich uranium. This photo was taken in 1944 or 1945.

It wasn’t until the atomic bomb dropped in 1945 that employees realized they had been building the most powerful weapon the world had ever seen.

I’ve been there on two occasions to study radiation medicine, they have a very interesting museum there as well I’d recommend to visit, just outside of Knoxville, then hit up “Cotton Eye Joes” later to line dance with some hoochies

Yes, I've been there, although it's been a while. It's great. I've always known it as the Nimitz Museum.

Pearl Harbor is a U.S. naval base near Honolulu, Hawaii, that was the scene of a devastating surprise attack by Japanese forces on December 7, 1941. Just before 8 a.m. on that Sunday morning, hundreds of Japanese fighter planes descended on the base, where they managed to destroy or damage nearly 20 American naval vessels, including eight battleships, and over 300 airplanes. More than 2,400 Americans died in the attack, including civilians, and another 1,000 people were wounded. The day after the assault, President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked Congress to declare war on Japan.

For some perspective, more people died daily from Covid for months

You are comparing Covid deaths to bombing Pearl Harbor???? Go fukk yourself puto
