U.S. Battleship Wisconsin was hit by a 155mm North Korean shell causing minor damage. In turn, Wisconsin fired all 9 of her 16-inch Mark 7 guns at the target on shore. This prompted a message from her escort ship..........."Temper, Temper." |

Jock strap invented to protect bicycle messengers in Boston while riding over cobblestone streets. In 1977 the sports bra was invented by sewing two jock straps together. Now protection of all personal bits had come "full circle." |

The RN officially adopted the sling hammock for sleeping aboard ships. Sailors like it so much, many took them home when they went on leave. |

Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2025-08-08 02:12:39Copy HTML The Turks retook it two days later not a year later. The whole campaign ended in January 1916 when the final Allied troops left. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

The first alarm for getting up in the morning invented in China. A nail was placed into a lighted candle upon going to bed. During the night the wax melted & the candle fell into a metal plate beneath the candle. The nail made a sound when it hit the metal plate & woke the sleeper up. |

Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2025-08-09 05:29:40Copy HTML He'll be wounded in action when he comes up against Putin next week. For all his (supposed) negotiating skills he hasn't got what it takes to outwit Putin. Trump is good with a weaker foe, but outclassed with one who can hit back. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.
