Born in 1695, just 75 years after the first Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock, the stone-cold hardass, known for his unbreakable determination to violently kill British people at all costs, would be made a state hero of Massachusetts. At the ripe old age of 80, Samuel Whittemore, by himself, with no backup, positioned himself behind

Wacky Brit – Man gets $1,600 Will and Kate Tooth Tattoo
Who in their right mind would fork over $1,600 (£1,000) and spend six hours in a dentist chair getting the Royal couple tattooed on their teeth. Looking eerily similar to Jim Carrey during his Dumb & Dumber days, Barmy Baz Franks (yes Barmy) got a Prince William and Kate Middleton tattoo designed by Dr. Neil
The Bloody British/Zulu War of 1879 Chess Set
Unfortunately, I know absolutely nothing about the Anglo-Zulu war of 1879, after a brief Wikipedia search – the war is notable for several particularly bloody battles, as well as for being a landmark in the timeline of colonialism in the region. Taking that piece of history and over 70 hours of work, the British/Zulu War
That’s Close enough – Pilot flies up to the back door of a C-130
That’s close enough! As requested, a British Royal Air Force pilot flies up to the back door of a C-130 in a Typhoon for a photo op. He radios, “How much closer do you want me?” They radio, “How much closer can you get?” It was filmed over North East Lincolnshire from a C-130 for
Blast Boxers – Keeping your groin safe from Blasts and Fragment injuries
Out of all the body parts I would hate to be blown off from an improvised explosive device, my boys top the list. Take my arms or legs, but please don’t blow off my nads. The knitted Kevlar drawers are already available to British troops and the European public for about $95.00 (£60). Due to
The British version of Snooki – Drunk Girl looses it on a train
We really don’t need another Snooki, especially a British one. A girl by the name Lambrini Chave (what a god awful accent she has), starts screaming and slapping other passengers on a train in Essex, England, after a night of heavy drinking. At least she’s not driving…can you imagine this drunken idiot behind the wheel
Forged Titanium never looked so bad – Ascent Ferrari GT phone
The idea of luxury differs from person to person, as does the matter of personal taste. Personally, I don’t know why/how Ferrari would put their name behind this loathsome looking phone. British cell phone manufacturer Vertu has once again teamed up with Ferrari to release the ascent Ferrari GT handset. Claimed to be inspired by
Making Tanks Invisible on the Battlefield using E-Ink
Not to be outdone by China’s new J-20 stealth fighter, British defense tech firm BAE Systems is developing an active e-camouflage system that will employ a form of electronic ink to project imagery of a vehicles surrounding terrain, rendering the vehicle somewhat invisible to potential attackers. Using highly sophisticated electronic sensors attached to the tank’s
The 4-inch Taliban Sniper Spotter – The Boomerang Warrior X
You gotta love technology, especially when it gives our troops an extreme advantage over the enemy. Later this month a British Parachute Regiment stationed in Afghanistan will be using a progressively new device which can pinpoint the exact location of enemy (in this case Taliban) snipers over a half a mile (1000 yards) away. The
