FYI ping.

I will take your word for it.

:-) Thanks! Sorry for my confusion.

[CarrotAndStick]

Thanks for the information! I was thinking if the shells didn't have grooves pre-cut on them, they'd jam inside the barrel. Silly me.

At least it hurts their circulation

Why would a so called Paki photo's URL contain a "afghan" reference?

Here's the photo url:

Uhh, yea, I think they did.

Nope, they are their own undoing and long may it be so

Speaking of photo hoaxes....

The break in Peter's silence ends two months of rampant speculation over the identity of the man in a black cap and eyeglasses who has become the latest Web craze.

Shortly after Sept. 11, Peter pasted a plane into a photo of himself taken on the observation deck of the World Trade Center on Nov. 28, 1997. Amused, he e-mailed it to a few friends for a laugh.

The doctored photograph spread worldwide on the Net. Then his face started cropping up all over the place. Web surfers quickly turned Peter into the Forrest Gump of the Internet, placing him at the scene of major, minor and just plain inane events in history.

Stick a fork in the Slimes, they're way overcooked.

Don't try to save it, just throw it in the trash.

Fake, but "I wish it were accurate"...../snicker

[saveliberty]

someone failed geography?

At some point, they will become the unfunny Onion.

"If the round was unfired, the rifling bands would not have rifling marks cut into them. Look at the copper band near the base of the round."

I agree. I don't know much about foreign artillery rounds, but having rifling marks on an unfired rotating band would defeat the purpose.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

It's true, I tell ya!

That's odd. One of my tenants started getting bills through the mail from/for the NYT--out of the blue. No subscription, no paper. Just bills. This guy had never heard of the NYT.

The filename for the photograph also seems to suggest that this is a scene from Afghanistan.
