The fastest accelerating living thing on planet earth isn't a cheetah (or Stefan Moore, Wayne Fereday etc), a swift or a peregrine falcon, it's actually a fungus, the hat thrower fungus.
It ejects spores which can reach a speed of 45mph in their first millimetre of flight. That's the equivalent of 20,000g
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

A mate of mine was ejected from Craven Cottage for throwing sugar cubes at Peter Shilton. In his defence (my mates not Shilts - Pete was playing for Orient at the time so wouldn’t have had much of a defence) he was only 11 and said the big boys made him do it.

Dr Ruth, the sex therapist, used to be a sniper in the Israeli army
Of all the contributions in this fine thread this is the one that’s blown my mind (apt for a sniping anecdote) I’m imagining Dr. Ruth in a little foxhole with a bit of down time wondering on ways to spice up a jaded marriage then spotting her target - aim - shoot! job done - then back to ruminating on ways to fix a floppy dick.
Reading the stories of concentration camp survivors there was a proper pecking order in the early days of Israel and the kibbutz’s - the American Jews generally ran things and took the best jobs - many of the self-exiled Yanks looked down upon the European Jews seeing them not as survivors but losers - they were discriminated against and called Soap-heads.
