THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 


James Earl Ray Escapes from Prison Again (1977)
In 1967, Ray, who was serving time for armed robbery, escaped from prison by hiding in a bread truck. He remained at large until 1968, when he was captured in London following an international manhunt sparked by the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Ray pled guilty to the murder and was sentenced to 99 years in prison. In 1977, he once again escaped, but this time he was recaptured within days. In 1969, Ray recanted his confession

This is NOT an argument between @MrNubbz and @medinabuckeye1 , it is an argument between @MrNubbz and reality with @SFBadger96 , @847badgerfan , @Cincydawg , and @medinabuckeye1 pointing out reality to refute Nubbz lunatic rantings. 

 
 Medina Boring - how many times are you going to prattle on - sucking up & dropping names of other posters you highlight. You remind me of the old Warner Bros. cartoon with Spike the big bulldog and Chester the small terrier bouncing continuously around him. "hey Spike whadda say we chase some cars,huh,huh does that sound like Fun?" "Hey Spike want for me to pick up some bones for ya - anything you say Spike because you and me is pals ain't we Spike" "Hey Spike you wanna play some ball,huh,huh, ya wanna?"

Have some dignity already - you've received no "likes", atta boys,affirmations or even responses from those you highlight.So Basically you're
   

Maybe when your ankle monitor is removed and restraining order rescinded your handler can take you to a library where you could brush up on actual history but you're going to have to keep quiet which is doubtful. Oh and the library closes at 8 pm unlike your mouth.I noticed you stayed up until 2 am saturday morning attempting to craft a credible response, sad but expected. Now addressing your drivel

There is one other claim that needs to be addressed not because the erroneous poster will learn anything but because the statement has been made repeatedly and it is a flat out slander. 

@MrNubbz started out claiming that the British Blockade of Germany in WWI killed "3/4 of Germans".  @Cincydawg called him out on this nonsense so he backed it down to this allegation which he has made more-or-less in this form multiple times:

This is false and quite frankly slander. 

  You're wrong again but it's something your good at. And there was no claiming,it happened,3 sources below, I should be charging you for this. You deliberately left out part of the text then put quotations around it and present it as my view to bolster your argument. That's just demented it really is , "oh the webbs that we weave" My exact words posted are below were 3/4 of million people you facking hack not 3/4 of the population,change a couple words and the whole narrative changes.

BTW the Second World War was the continuation of the First World War which was a continuation of the constant battles between the European nations over centuries. That is the history that the British Crown absolutely had a dominate hand in. This is why Euros from all over left their feudal lords and their fiefdoms for these shores. The Crown had the Royal Navy in WWI blockading Germany's Northen ports causing 3/4 of a million German citizens to starve to death.

During the First World War, Britain intended to use its powerful navy to starve Germany and Austria-Hungary into submission.Germany's civilians began to suffer malnourishment from the winter of 1916 onwards, while the food situation in Austria caused riots and, eventually, actual starvation in some areas. A wish to retaliate and to break Britain’s command of the seas motivated Germany to launch its campaign of unrestricted submarine warfare in 1917.

 The official German statistics estimated 763,000 civilian malnutrition and disease deaths were caused by the blockade of Germany. The statistics came from a German National Health Office report published in December 1918 that estimated the blockade to be responsible for the deaths of 762,796 civilians

And England never won anything alone unless you count African or Pacific Islanders with slinging spears. Even then the Hawaiians wacked Capt. Cook in the late 1800s. WWs 1 & 2,puhleeze S.Africa/Canada/Australia/France/USA and any other assorted sandbags and cannon fodder the Imperial inbreds could coerce. And the Tommies overlords getting 57,000 of them killed,captured or wounded in ONE DAY during the Somme offensive speaks to their leader ship abilities. Making the Red Army look like humanitarians - you're welcome

Iowa doesn't touch a Great Lake (or Ocean). 

The other irregular borders are mountain crests, I think, the NC/Tenn border mostly follows said crest.

Idaho and Montana agree.

In 1765, a Parisian soup vendor named Antoine Boulanger opened a tiny shop offering hot, comforting broths to anyone seeking relief. But what made his shop special wasn’t just the food—it was how he served it. For the first time, people could sit down in a public place and order individual meals without needing to rent a room.
His broths were called “restaurants”—from the French restaurer, meaning “to restore.” At the time, food was mostly served in taverns or inns where travelers had to stay overnight. But Boulanger had a new idea: a place just to eat, just to feel better. No strings attached.

He didn’t know it, but that little soup shop sparked a revolution.
After the French Revolution, unemployed royal chefs began opening their own restaurants, bringing high-quality cuisine to the public. The idea spread from Paris to the world. And the word “restaurant”? It stuck.
Today, from five-star bistros to cozy cafés, every dining table traces its roots back to a man with a pot of soup—and a dream to nourish strangers.

But at least Louisiana touches an American Gulf now, instead of a Mexican one.
