ver time with continual use.
2- The final border between the United States and Canada was agreed upon after battles broke out between American and British militias on Victoria Island. The battles started because an American shot and killed the prized pig of a wealthy British landowner when the pig was discovered digging up and destroying the entire potato crop of the American farmer.
3- The embassy was established after a meeting and agreement between President Reagan and Pope John Paul II. The Catholic Church gathered intelligence from Catholic clergy and faithful in Communist territories, which were funneled to Vatican City. The intelligence was then passed along to US Intelligence via the US Embassy at the Vatican.
4- Characteristics and details of a Jewish sect known as the Essenes can be found in a Masonic book openly published in 1870AD that were not known by archeologists and theologians until the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1946AD.
5- The tomb of the first emperor of China cannot be safely excavated because mercury levels are so high. Legends concerning the Emperor state that his tomb contained a river of silver (mercury) surrounding his casket.
6- The name of Pharaoh Atmoses means “Son of the Moon” in Egyptian. It also means “brother of Moses” in Hebrew. There is no substantial, documented link between the Pharaoh and Moses historically. Still, it’s interesting to ponder.
7- The universal hand symbol for “stop” in Western Civilization means “approach, friend” in some Middle Eastern cultures.
8- Before being overthrown because of the military invasion by US Forces on the orders of President George H. W. Bush (the first Bush President), Panamanian dictator Noreaga became a compensated CIA and US Intelligence asset under President Reagan’s administration… while George H. W. Bush was in charge of the CIA.
9- Secret Service codenames for the President and his family change with every administration. President Reagan’s was “Rawhide”, Presidents George H. W. Bush, Clinton, and Obama were “Timberwolf”, “Eagle”, and “Renegade”, respectively. Before becoming US President, George H. W. Bush was “Sheepskin”. George W. Bush was briefly “Gilligan” and “Tumbler” before finally being changed to “Trailblazer” after 9/11. (Hilarioso! At least to me.)
10- President Bill Clinton and his wife Hilary Clinton became the first Presidential couple in US history in need of Secret Service codenames for subsequent campaigns. During the Presidential Campaigns of 2008 and 2016, both Hilary and Bill Clinton kept the Secret Service names assigned them while Bill Clinton was President and Hilary was First Lady… Bill Clinton was “Eagle” and Hilary was “Evergreen”.
11- During the Vietnam War, the CIA dummy company Air America was responsible for bringing no less than 70 tons of heroin into the United States from Laos. It was processed via an American Air Force Base in Thailand.
12- The Founding Fathers intended the Second Amendment to allow American citizens to not only be well armed to fight off enemies, but as a means of preventing tyranny by the US Government, itself. The idea being that if the people were as well armed as the federal government, they could hold the government in check, or even overthrow it by force if necessary.
14- John Hinckley Jr., and his family, were from Texas, where the family owned several companies, including a Texas oil company. The Hinckley family was friends with the Bush family, with George H. W. Bush being the Vice President for President Reagan at the time of the event. Had Hinckley been successful, Vice President George H. W. Bush would have become President.
15- In September, 2016 John Hinckley Jr. became the first known and detained Presidential assassin to be set free and released from custody by the US Government, not only once, but twice.. That’s because Hinckley was found “not guilty by reason of insanity” at his trial and remanded to institutional authorities for psychiatric treatment. Before the attempt on President Reagan, Hinckley had been detained and arrested by the FBI for stalking President Carter. The FBI did not share the incident with the Secret Service at the time.
17- Two precursors to modern man, Cromagnon, the Neanderthals and Denisovans, did not completely die out. Instead, in their respective geographical locations, they interbred with modern man. Most people of European descent possess Neanderthal DNA and most Asians possess Denisovan DNA, with populations from the Japanese islands possessing the most by percentage. It’s estimated that modern man’s general population’s genetic code is at least circa 2% DNA from these proto-modern human groups.
18- The characters for Chinese and Japanese calligraphy descend from a similar singular system of writing, in some situations, allowing the writing of one of the cultures to be read and understood by the educated citizens of the other. However, the spoken language is unique to each culture.
19- The invention of mechanical clocks was originally invented by the Chinese. However, by the time of the normal interaction between European and Chinese civilizations, the technology had been forgotten by the Chinese. This led to the situation where, upon being presented with the gift of a mechanical clock by Europeans, the Chinese Emperor declared it a wondrous innovation, not knowing that it was his civilization to originate the technology centuries earlier.
20- The Japanese civilization is the oldest CONTINUAL civilization still in existence to this day, and has never been successfully invaded, conquered, and held by an outside force.* While dates for the start of Japanese civilization differs based on various criteria, the Japanese monarchy is also the oldest continuous hereditary monarchy in existence, beginning in 660BC, and having 126 hereditary monarchs and emperors since.
21- The current US Government under the US Constitution was not America’s first government after declaring Independence from Britain. The Articles of Confederation were in effect until 1789AD. They were found to be so flawed and ineffective, delegates met and replaced them with the Constitutional government.
22- Although being classified as a “Constitutional Monarchy”, Britain has no written Constitution, like in the US. Instead, it has evolved into a democracy based on the culmination of, and as a system of, laws and traditions over its history.
23- During WWII, Spain was the only fascist government to remain neutral for the duration of hostilities.
24- Despite being natural enemies on the political spectrum, Stalin felt so betrayed by Hitler with the German invasion of the Soviet Union, that he remained in seclusion for almost two weeks before emerging to speak with the Russian people and direct the military.
25- Before passing away, Lenin warned his Communist Party leaders about Stalin, his ruthlessness, and his ambitions to become the Soviet leader. It came too late.
26- Despite a declared armistice between Nationalist and Communist forces in China during WWII, with both sides agreeing to a cessation of hostilities in order to combat Japanese Imperial forces together, in most cases the Communist forces under Mao opened fire on the rear of Nationalist forces while they were occupied in battle with the Japanese, allowing the Communist forces a stronger military presence after WWII. They leveraged this position to push the Nationalist forces to Taiwan, where they founded the current Taiwanese government.
27- The Great Seal of the United States is the only official seal of a country to be double-sided.
28- During WWI, the King of England and the Czar of Russia, both grandsons of Queen Victoria of England, looked so much like one another they could be mistaken for twins.
29- To end hostilities between the Portuguese and Spanish Empires, the Pope mediated the dispute and declared what portions of the world could contain Portuguese and Spanish colonies.
30- Plague was used by a Hungarian king, King Vlad the Impaler of the Kingdom of Wallachia, as biological warfare to prevent the Muslim conquest of Europe by the Ottoman Empire. Vlad the Impaler became the basis for “Dracula”.
32- The wealthiest 3 (Yes, that’s THREE.) Americans have more money than the bottom 161 million, or roughly half of all Americans, COMBINED.
33- Even setting aside the fact that Christopher Columbus was not the first European to come to the New World, he still never “discovered” America, as he never set foot in America. Italian Amerigo Vespucci actually discovered the mainland, from which his name in Latin is how America got its name, in 1507.
34- More American immigrants believe in the upward mobility of American society than “natural” born Americans, themselves.
35- The United States has the largest percentage of the working class believing in upward social and economic mobility than any other similar Western first-world nation, with almost 80% of the American working class believing in “the American Dream”. This predominant belief has led the US to rank 16th out of 25 similar Western first-world nations as far as assistance for its citizens, as most Americans, regardless of political affiliation, wrongfully believe it is unnecessary, with almost 50 million of its 330 million citizens living below the poverty line and needing assistance.
*Yes, the Japanese did surrender to, and were occupied by, the US as a result of WWII. However, the sole condition of the Japanese surrender was that the Japanese Emperor be allowed to keep his throne, which was accepted by President Truman. The Emperor remains on his throne to this day. Also, while being the only country subjected to nuclear weapons, not once, but twice, at

(36 People Likes) Are Real Dolls worth buying?
satisfy your every sexual desire 24/7. The reality is that, after you’ve invested thousands of dollars in a piece of “functional artwork”, the day will come when it’s crate is finally delivered and sitting on your front porch. That’s when you realize that these dolls, if life size, can weigh from about 65 up to over 100 pounds. You will have to provide all of the motion for the doll to move it around and also pose its various joints to get “her” limbs into position for lovemaking. By the time you get that done, you may not have enough energy left over to use it for its “intended purpose”! Every time you do manage to successfully use it, you will have to sanitize whatever orifices you were using immediately afterward. That involves flushing them out with an antibacterial soapy solution, then rinsing them out with clear water, and then thoroughly drying them to prevent MOLD from growing in the doll’s various cavities. Then there’s the problem of repairing damage to the doll. The silicone skin can stretch and tear, joints in the internal metal skeleton can break, and things like eyelashes, fingernails, and toenails can come off and need to be glued back on again. Wigs tend to constantly pop off of a doll’s head and need to be periodically washed and then combed out. All this is a huge hassle and, I suspect, that after a month or two of this, the average new doll owner realizes that he wished he’d kept his money and passed on purchasing the doll. Unfortunately, once used these dolls are not returnable or refundable and all one can do is try to recover SOME of this “investment” by going to an online to doll owner community site and hoping he can find a buyer for it. Expect to lose a thousand or more as the price for your brief sex doll honeymoon.
I recommend to those who’ve never owned one of these “ultimate sex toys” before that they skip the high end silicone dolls that cost almost as much as a nice used automobile and instead shop around on a site like Amazon or eBay for a doll. He can find dolls there made from an alternative elastomer known as “TPE” or thermoplastic elastomer which are far less expensive and some consider to look more like human skin than silicone. These low cost dolls are all mass produced over in China and shipped out of there via FedEx Air Express so one can receive his doll in about a week’s time instead of having to wait months for a high end silicone doll to be custom made for him. Most importantly, some of these Chinese made TPE dolls can be purchased for less than $500 dollars and that includes the shipping cost. If one buys one of these dolls and, after a few months of wrestling with it in the sack, realizes that he made a mistake, then it’s only a less than $1,000 dollar mistake and not one that is closer to $10,000 dollars. That will help to take much of the sting out his “learning experience”. If, however, things work out great with his new bargain basement Chinese sex doll, he can always consider purchasing a more advanced silicone model in the future like after he hits a lottery jackpot or is left a huge inheritance by some relative he never knew he had. Some of the new advanced sex dolls have animated heads and AI technology so that the doll can hold a somewhat intelligent conversation with its owner and even simulate the sounds of a female orgasm when special pressure sensors in its vagina detect something down t
