April 15th is not a good day

1- Abraham Lincoln was assassinated.

2- The Titanic sunk

3- The Boston bombing.

4-Notre Dame Catheral fire

It begins April 14th. Lincoln was shot on the 14th and died on the 15th. The Titanic struck the iceberg on the 14th and sank on the 15th. That week of the month has some issues.

This one never works for me nor anyone I know who's tried it. Generally, hiccups go away when they go away.

It works for me and ex wife was a nurse and she never heard of it until we were dating and I told her. She was on the floor at a hospital and they had a patient who had hiccups . She gave them sugar and it stopped. The patient said to her. "Where were you 2 days ago when it started"? LOL.

There is currently a plan that’s been building for about a year to repopulate the United States with Jaguars. They used to be native to the US, but hunters in the early 1900’s all but eradicated them.

It is a preservation attempt to correct the destabilization of nature unintentionally caused by man. Overpopulation of deer, rabbits, various rodents and other prey is a direct result of humans thinning all of the predatorial animals such as wolves, bears, and the Jaguar. The idea is they would take 50-150 Jaguars from South America and distribute them all throughout New Mexico and Arizona.

For those who don’t know, Jaguar is pound for pound the most dangerous big cat in the world. While not as large as a Lion or a tiger, Their size-to-weight ratio exceeds both, and the have the second strongest bite force amongst all mammals, only to the hippo. You ever see those videos on the Nile, where the croc pops out of the water and drags the lion in? That one goes a bit differently on the Amazon….

If you live in Texas, imagine seeing one of those things staring in through your sliding door.

Ted Cassidy played the role of the Gorn on the "infamous" Star Trek episode... Arena
You might ask, Who is Ted Cassidy?
Lurch from the Adams Family
&
I always liked the fact that the Adams named their daughter Wednesday
Because, per the nursey rhyme, "Wednesday's child is full of woe"

Very interesting, always loved that episode of Star Trek!
