  1. How far is that from the Sand Creek Massacre?
  2. I’m not totally convinced - I still think there is a chance that there will be a revolt.
  3. Were they better than T. Rex?
  4. or they just want to get ctj’s hopes up before he sees McJaggy go off for 500yrds against OSU.
  5. Know about that as well. Maybe I misread the original point the poster was trying to make. I kind of speed read/skim posts most of the time. But with the bomb in particular, many, many Jews were involved. The most prominent ones were of German and Hungarian ancestry although Niels Bohr was Danish.
  6. Here are some key Jewish figures involved in the building of the nuclear bomb. This list is nowhere near exhaustive as it only includes some of the key contributors and none of the minor contributors: J. Robert Oppenheimer: Director of the Los Alamos branch of the Manhattan Project Leo Szilard: A Hungarian-born Jewish physicist, Szilard is credited with initiating the project by persuading Albert Einstein to write a letter to President Roosevelt. He also patented a nuclear reactor design with Enrico Fermi. Edward Teller: A Hungarian-American physicist, Teller was a key figure in the development of the hydrogen bomb, a more powerful successor to the atomic bomb. Hans Bethe: A German-born physicist, Bethe led the theoretical division at Los Alamos and made significant contributions to understanding nuclear reactions. Eugene Wigner: A Hungarian-American physicist, Wigner played a vital role in the development of nuclear reactors and the separation of uranium isotopes. Felix Bloch: A Swiss physicist, Bloch contributed to the theoretical understanding of nuclear physics. Niels Bohr: A Danish physicist, Bohr provided crucial insights into nuclear fission and was instrumental in the early stages of the project. John von Neumann: A Hungarian-American mathematician, von Neumann played a key role in the development of the bomb's detonation system. Richard Feynman: An American theoretical physicist who worked on the development of the bomb's detonation system. Otto Frisch: An Austrian-British physicist, Frisch was involved in early calculations about the critical mass of uranium needed for a nuclear explosion. Rudolf Peierls: A German-British physicist, Peierls co-authored a report with Frisch that first calculated the critical mass of uranium. These are just a few examples, and many other Jewish scientists contributed to the Manhattan Project in various capacities. If you are interested in Hungarian Jews in particular you should read up on the "Martians". Some interesting friends who grew up together and learned some math along the way. Those guys included Leo Szilard: A physicist who conceived the nuclear chain reaction. John von Neumann: A mathematician known for his work on game theory and the development of the modern computer. Eugene Wigner: A physicist who won a Nobel Prize for his work on symmetries in physics. Edward Teller: A physicist known as the "father of the hydrogen bomb". Theodore von Kármán: A fluid dynamicist who helped establish NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Paul Erdős: A highly prolific mathematician known for his collaborative work.
  7. mainly German and Hungarian Jews - not Nazis.
  8. Percy Foreman lived down the street from us. He’s dead now.
  9. Yeah, I live in the mountains so unless Yellowstone erupts, I should be fine.
  10. 10 each to Moscow and St Pete would be orgasmic.
  11. I’m not positive that is true. ctj can give better insight into how NIL is currently being structured, though. And just to be clear, there is no way in hell Texas would process one of the better players coming out of high school this year. It is not a smart discussion, especially since the guy has a very, very minor injury and goes to one of the premier high schools in the country. The other part of the discussion about why play your high school games is pretty dumb as well. Some guys like supporting their teammates. Some guys like playing football. Guys who skip their senior year of football just because have a pretty poor track record of performing well in college. Finally, all the posters involved in the global warming talk on the recruiting thread deserve to burn in hell or get a timeout whichever is more painful for them. Cheese puns, chicken fried steak, and cat talk is infinitely more entertaining.
  12. It may not be so bad. I set up a friend with a girlfriend of mine and he tore a hamstring having sex with her. He got over it pretty quickly and we were playing rec ball a few weeks later. Interestingly, he never had to choose between rec ball and her. Mainly, because she broke up with him, but that's another story.
  13. Maybe if we made it easier for bat shit crazies to obtain quarter pounders with cheese, there would be fewer homicides.
  14. Never wear ankle socks with long pants - too annoying.
  15. ha no khakis and only size 10 big ass white shoes!
  16. Having problems creating a CT mcJaggerson belt buckle
  17. ^^^ You or AI? Good work either way.
  18. very cool stories. I bet I wouldn’t even know who he was if he was standing next to me, but I also know that he is someone that we should have all known.
  19. Supposedly became an artist and has paintings on display in Texas Musician Bobby Whitlock dies aged 77 Story by Pierra Willix Musician Bobby Whitlock, who co-founded the band Derek and the Dominos, has died aged 77. The keyboard player and vocalist was best known for forming the blues rock band with Eric Clapton in 1970, however they only ever released one album and broke up after a year. Whitlock also worked with The Beatles star George Harrison, playing on his 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass. This week it was announced that he had died. ABC Audio reported Whitlock’s death, quoting manager Carol Kaye as saying: ‘With profound sadness, the family of Bobby Whitlock announces his passing at 1:20am on Aug. 10 after a brief illness. He passed in his home in Texas, surrounded by family.’ Born in Memphis, Tennessee, Whitlock was signed to Stax Records as a teenager, also becoming the first white artist signed to the label. His first recording credit came in 1967 when he supplied handclaps on Sam & Dave’s single I Thank You. Between 1965 and 1968, he performed regularly in the Memphis area, playing organ with local soul band the Short Cuts before forming the Counts. Although there had been plans for him to work on a pop album, he instead decided to leave his home city and join a soul-revue band being forming in Los Angeles – Delaney & Bonnie and Friends, who accompanied the duo Delaney & Bonnie on their tours. Another member of the group was Clapton, however after disagreements, the band members that had been brought on board quit and instead went on to work on Harrison’s album. Soon after they formed blues-rock band Derek and the Dominos – releasing their debut and only album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs in 1970, which has been considered by many as one of the greatest rock albums of all time. But after the album tanked commercially and failed to chart in the UK – as well as the band being wrapped up in drug consumption and personal conflicts – it fell apart after a year. After this Whitlock went on to forge a career as a solo artist, releasing his self-titled album in 1972, which also featured all members of his recently dissolved band. It was followed by Raw Velvet the same year and One of a Kind in 1975, however after this release he withdrew from the music industry. Whitlock previously said the decision was due to him having ‘problems to deal with’. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Whitlock lived on a farm in Mississippi, raising his children and doing occasional session work. He also had his own television show with Steve Cropper. In 1999 he resumed his solo career with the album It’s About Time and in 2003 teamed up with his partner and musician CoCo Carmel to release a live album of the Dominos’ songs. The couple later moved to Austin, Texas, and continued releasing music together. Other than his wife, Whitlock is also survived by his three children – Ashley Brown, Beau Whitlock and Tim Whitlock Kelly.
