1. King Ozymandias of Assyria was running low on cash after
years of war with the Hittites. His last great possession was the
Star of the Euphrates, the most valuable diamond in the ancient world.
Desperate, he went to Croesus, the pawnbroker, to ask for a loan.
Croesus said, "I'll give you 100,000 dinars for it."
"But I paid a million dinars for it," the King protested.
"Don't you know who I am? I am the king!"
Croesus replied,
"When you wish to pawn a Star, makes no difference who you are."

A skeptical anthropologist was cataloging South American folk
remedies with the assistance of a tribal elder who indicated that the
leaves of a particular fern were a sure cure for any case of
constipation. When the anthropologist expressed his doubts,
the elder looked him in the eye and said,
"Let me tell you, with fronds like these, you don't need enemas."

1945 - An atom bomb nicknamed
"Little Boy" was dropped on Hiroshima by a B-29 bomber
named the "Enola Gay"
At the cost of thousands of lives, it brought an end to World War II.
At 2:45 a.m. on Monday, August 6, 1945, a B-29 bomber, the Enola Gay, took off from Tinian, a
North Pacific island in the Marianas, 1,500 miles south of Japan. There was a twelve-man crew on board
to make sure this secret mission went smoothly. Colonel Paul Tibbets, the pilot, nicknamed the B-29 the
"Enola Gay" after his mother. Just before take-off, the plane's nickname was painted on its side.
The Enola Gay was a B-29 Superfortress (aircraft 44-86292), part of the 509th Composite Group.
In order to carry such a heavy load as an atomic bomb, the Enola Gay was modified:
new propellers, stronger engines, and faster opening bomb bay doors. (Only fifteen B-29s underwent this modification.) Even though it had been modified, the plane still had to use the full runway to gain
the necessary speed, thus it did not lift off until very near the water's edge.
The Enola Gay was escorted by two other bombers that carried cameras and a variety of measuring devices.
Three other planes had left earlier in order to ascertain the weather conditions over the possible targets.

Now For A Little History From My Wife's Family

There were hundreds of B-29's on Tinian Island, the island from which the Enola Gay departed on the flight to Hiroshima. My father-in-law Richard Pless was stationed on this island, and was an aerial gunner on the 'Lady Jean' a B-29 that he flew on. One of the B-29's that he served on was shot down off the coast of Japan. He and the crew were in a life raft for 9 days before being found and picked up. Mr Pless almost never talked about his experience in the war until a short time before his death in Feb. 2010. There must have been thousands of stories like his that were never told.
