I like the part of the story which quotes a certain Gary Campbell as saying that it was “entirely feasible” that a large sea creature disabled the submarine. Given that Mr. Campbell is said by the story to be “the keeper of the Official Sightings Register of the Loch Ness Monster,” it’s unlikely that he’d dismiss accounts about marine monsters as being nonsensical tall tales from sailors who’d consumed one glass too many at the local tavern.
German-Style Stick Grenades as Sports Equipment

An intriguing news story about a Chinese university which has recently added grenade-tossing to a sports competition:

The addition apparently led a lot of students, who previously had shown little interest in track-and-field atheletics, to sign-up for the event. The grenades, it should be noted, are replicas, not live ordnance.

Hahaha… that’s awesome!
As someone who personally hated track and field as a kid, I can say that would have definitely gotten me out there. :lol:
Of course, that could never happen in North America. You know, “toxic masculinity” and all that.

wish we had that in Boy Scouts : )

I find them easier and more accurate to throw to a certain spot.
I once watched an english movie where bank robber used the M24 to break their way through.
