It was Belize (well, it's called Belize NOW) that let the saying 'The sun never sets on the Brittish Empire' be true.

Bullets shot at any velocity higher than a hand gun fall to pieces in 2 feet of water, and pistol bullets lose all lethal force at 3 feet of water.
If you're 3 feet under water, you're bulletproof!

31 fer Praetheus! Muahahahahahahahaha!
I actually saw a test done on guns fired above water, Now the first round fired from a gun under water will penetrate inta a body within the first 10 feet, although the gun will not fire twice. The test was run on a .357 and a .44 . Rifles were next ta worthless.

When making clear soups, serranos work better than jalapenos.

pickled jalapenos, with a carrot tossed in, lose most of their spice, while maintaining a rich flavour. But, AVOID the CARROT at ALL COSTS! The spices it draws in will put ya ina hospice.
