I was born a Liverpool boy and lived there until I was 15 years old.

This is the Liverpool waterfront as seen from the river Mersey.

At this grand age I decided to join the military and served until I was 40 years young.

During my service I have seen most of the world along with my fair share of conflict.

Now I am a Re-Cycled Teenager who has settled down to enjoy what life I have left.
This is one reason I joined this forum so I can meet new people and make friends.

Liverpool is a city with two cathedrals.

This one is the Catholic Cathedral where I was confirmed.

We then have the oldest Cathedral of the Church of England

This is a true story............

In 1976, a 22-year-old Irishman, Bob Finnegan, was crossing the busy Falls Road in Belfast, when he was struck by a taxi and flung over its roof.

The taxi drove away and as Finnegan lay stunned in the road, another car ran into him, rolling him into the gutter.
It too drove on.

As a knot of gawkers gathered to examine the magnetic Irishman, a delivery van ploughed through the crowd, leaving in its wake 3 injured bystanders, and an even more battered Bob Finnegan.

When a fourth vehicle came along, the crowd wisely scattered and only one person was hit -- Bob Finnegan.

In the space of two minutes, Finnegan suffered fractured skull, broken pelvis, broken leg, and other assorted injuries.

Hospital officials said he would recover.

Another strange but true story for you........

Hitting on the novel idea that he could end his wife's incessant nagging by giving her a good scare,

Hungarian Jake Fen built an elaborate harness to make it look as if he had hanged himself.

When his wife came home and saw him, she fainted.

Hearing a disturbance, a neighbour came over and, finding what she thought were two corpses, seized the opportunity to loot the place.

As she was leaving the room, her arms laden, the outraged and suspended Mr. Fen kicked her stoutly in the backside.

This so suprised the lady that she dropped dead of a heart attack. Happily, Mr. Fen was acquitted of manslaughter, and he and his wife were reconciled.

INTERESTING FACT
Worm Penis Fight

Penis fight, also referred as penis fencing, is basically a mating activity performed by certain species of flatworm, for example Pseudobiceros hancockanus. These flatworms are mainly hermaphrodites, i.e. a species not having a specific sex. Each individual flatworm features two penises which are white and pointed. Being hermaphrodites, each individual possesses both - ovaries to produce eggs and testes to produce sperms.

To perform the act of mating through penis fencing, each of the two flatworms attacks the other with its pair of sharp penises that feature the shape of a two-headed dagger. The process involves an aggressive battle during which both the flatworms try to pierce the other one's skin with one of their penises. The defeated one is inseminated by the winner organism, which moves away from the brutal one night stand scotch free. The skin of the loser organism absorbs the sperm through pores of skin, thereby resulting in fertilization and then child bearing.

The act of Penis Fencing is the strangest feature surrounding flatworms. Just because these are born as hermaphrodites that feature both male and female parts, certain genus of flatworms must get involved in an activity to decide on roles as male and female. The act of penis fencing is necessary for child bearing so as to continue with the species. However, the process demands a substantial amount of time and energy from both the organisms involved, more commonly the mother. None of the organism, therefore, desires to play the female part just for the reason that pregnancy is very strenuous on their body.

Wow it's getting interesting in this thread

Another true story and remind me never to go swimming in this place.....

A few years ago in California there was a raging brush fire. Once the fire was extinguished, the firefighters began the process of clean up. In the middle of where the fire had been burning, they found a dead man wearing a scuba tank and wet suit. At first the firefighters were baffled as to why a man would be out in the middle of the countryside wearing full scuba gear. Upon further examination, it was determined that the man died from the impact with the ground and not the fire. As best anyone can determine, this man was scuba diving off the coast of California and was accidentally picked up by one of the firefighting aircraft when it was refilling its water tanks offshore.

INTERESTING FACT
Facts about Wolf Spiders

Wolf Spiders biologically known as Lycosa godeffroyi is the most common spider found easily in the gardens and homes. The wolf spiders got they from wolf because they catch the pray the same way. They do not make a web for themselves and live on the ground.

The common characteristics of the wolf spider are that they are of about one to two inches of length. They are quite brisk and rush quickly on the ground. When it comes to the color of the wolf spider the males are found to be darker than females that have distinguished marks. The wolf spiders have eight legs; males have an extra pair near the mouth to hold sperms. They have eight pairs of eyes; four pairs of small eyes to help them see in the night, two pairs of big eyes to look in front and two pairs of medium sized eyes placed on the top to see upwards. At the back of their eyes a disc is located that enables them to see at night.

When it comes to hunting the wolf spiders either stalk their prey or attack them suddenly. They learn of their prey through their movement on the ground or the buzzing of their wings. They eat varieties of insects but are fond of crickets, cockroaches, grasshoppers and houseflies.

Female spider carries almost hundred of eggs in a sac and exposes them to sunlight also. When the eggs hatch the spider lings catch a hair on the mother's body and stay this way for a week and then disperse.

The wolf spiders do not attack unless provoked. Their bites are not dangerous but at times it causes swellings, irritations, nausea and headache.

OMG!!!! haha :eek:

Another interesting item and one which brings back a few memories for me.

I was on active service in the jungle doing a three month operation.

On return to UK I had little red lumps all over my stomach area.

The hospital diagnosed it as a spider bight where the spider lays eggs under the skin of the "host" normaly an unsuspecting animal.

When the eggs hatch the baby spiders eat the host alive.

I had to lay in hospital and wait for the eggs to hatch into absolutely millions of baby spiders then the medical team disposed of them and the antibiotics did the rest of the job.

An interesting experience but not one I would recommend for fun.
