The only routine use of 0 in ammo is thirty aught six 🙂

Lots of Americans refer to it as thirty odd six.

Americans

We've already established that all bets are off with 'merkins, they think the cardinal numbers, in ascending order, are:
Twenty two
Five five six
Three oh eight
Nine
Forty five
Twelve

The fact they use five five six and nine not two two three and around thirty eight are steps towards civilisation.

There's a whole Instagram account dedicated to panoramic photos of dogs

steps towards civilisation.

Or civilization, as they would have it. I'm still troubled by their multiplication, viz:
5.56×45=223
7.62×51=308
are at least in the ball park but then
12.7×99=50
is not even within an order of magnitude

Hah, somehow haven’t come across that.

Thanks! Will give them a follow

Lol

Back in the 50s my dad had a friend, a bush pilot who regularly rebuilt his plane engine and tossed the extra bits into the cab "in case I need 'em later".
That's my two oldest sisters and some friends in the pic.

I’m guessing that’s in either Australia or South Africa? Could be Alaska in the summer but less likely. Bush pilots are infamously crazy and crazy good.

You know you’re old when you empathise more with Homer than with his kids.

When my dad worked in Southern Africa in the 70s, a favourite game of one of the pilots was to “sneak” up from behind and try to “land” the wheels of his plane on the roof of my dad’s Land Rover.

Close, Lake Winnipeg : )

24,000 km^2! Israel the country is like 20,000. You’d need a bush plane just to get from one side to the other on the regular.

Depended on the season; in winter it was the Bombardier (like Kleenex, a company name that became a common descriptor).

From the Guardian:

[…] the comic intricacies of a male knight wearing a Norman-style helmet, apparently praying, with one leg lunging forward as he steps from a snail on a goat. The museum called it a form of “medieval meme”.
“What it meant to the owner, or what went through the mind of the maker … I just don’t know,” said Nenk. She said she was open to suggestions.

Maybe you just had to have been there?
