Alright, random WW2 factoid, to get the thread back on track:
| Quote: | Erich Hartmann joined the German Air Force in October 1940 at age 18... He remained in JG52 until the last day of the war, and in 1400 combat sorties he scored 352 victories which make him the all time ace of aces, the most successful fighter pilot in history. All his victories were in the eastern front. Most of them were Russian aircraft.
In 1955, at age 33, Erich Hartmann returned home, to his wife, and joined the new West-German Air Force.
He said that of all his achievements, he's most proud that in over 1400 combat missions he never lost a wingman. He died in 1995.

Say what you will about the Germans, they had damn good pilots =/

Was just trying to light up the mood with a song and that song is also full of factoids

if drinking milk and eating cheese makes you explode, then that just plain sucks cuz I love my cheese |
Only drinking milk makes my tummy growl and hurt, but I can still eat cheese or dairy products, that's why I said mild lactose intolerance

There are more than 1,000 chemicals in a cup of coffee. Of these, only 26 have been tested, and half caused cancer in rats.
