An Honest Effort

The "Cuckoo" Blonde

A contestant on 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire? ' had reached the
final plateau. If she answered the next question correctly, she would
win $1,000,000. If she answered incorrectly, she would pocket only the
$25,000 milestone money. And as she suspected, the million-dollar
question was no pushover.

The question from Meredith (the Host) was, 'Which of the following
species of birds does not build its own nest but instead lays its eggs
in the nests of other birds?
Is it:
A) the condor
B) the buzzard
C) the cuckoo
D) the vulture

The contestant was on the spot. She did not know the answer. She had
used up her 50/50 Lifeline and her Ask the Audience Lifeline.. All
that remained was her Phone-a-Friend Lifeline. She hoped she would not
have to use it because .. her friend (Jeni) was, well, blonde. But she
had no alternative.

She called her friend and gave her the question and the four choices.
The blonde responded without hesitation: 'That's easy. The answer is
C: the cuckoo.'

The contestant had to make a decision and make it fast. She considered
using a reverse strategy and giving Meredith any answer except the one
that her friend had given her. And considering her friend was a blonde
that would seem to be the logical thing to do. But her friend had
responded with such confidence, such certainty, that the contestant
could not help but be convinced.

'I need an answer,' said Meredith.

Crossing her fingers, the contestant said, 'C: The cuckoo.'

'Is that your final answer?'

'Yes, that is my final answer.'

And Meredith replied, 'That answer is.... Absolutely correct! You are
now a millionaire! '

Three days later, the contestant hosted a party for her family and
friends, including the blonde who had helped her win the million
dollars.

'Jeni, I just do not know how to thank you,' said the contestant.
'How did you happen to know the right answer?'

'Oh, come on,' said the blonde... 'Everybody knows that cuckoos don't
build nests... They live in clocks.'

The contestant fainted on the spot.

The 2400 meter shot

The guy who took the 2400m shot is now a Calgary cop. If you are faint of heart do not view it? Canadian Snipers wiping out Taliban Snipers in Afghanistan . These video shots are not made through the shooter's telescopic sight. They are made looking through the spotter's scope. The spotter lies right next to the sniper and helps the
sniper to find and home in on the target. The sniper is using a 50 caliber rifle. A 50 cal. round is about 7-8 inches long and the casing is about an inch in diameter. The bullet itself is one-half inch in diameter and roughly one and one-half inches long. Pay close attention to the beginning of the video. A Taliban is lying on top of the peak in front of you... when you hear the shot fired....watch what happens. The sniper is also about a half mile away... or more. A Canadian sniper in Afghanistan
has been confirmed as hitting an enemy soldier at a range of 2,310 meters (7565 ft/1.43 miles), the longest recorded and confirmed sniper shot in history. The previous record of 2,250 meters (7369 ft/1.4 miles) was set by US Marine sniper Carlos Hathcock in Vietnam in 1967. The Canadian sniper was at an altitude of 8,500 feet and the target, across a valley, was at 9,000 feet. Canadian sniper units often operated in support of US infantry units, which were grateful for their help. The record lasted only one day, until a second Canadian sniper hit an enemy soldier at 2,400 meters (7860 feet/1.48 miles). The Canadian snipers fire special 50-caliber McMillan tactical rifles, which are bolt-action weapons with five-round magazines. The Canadian snipers were the only Canadian troops operating without helmets or flak jackets as they had too much other equipment to carry. Each three-man team has one sniper rifle, three standard rifles Canadian (C7s), one of them with a 203mm grenade launcher.
