All right, trooper Sharpie cleared the boards for us.

As far as I can tell, Japan is the only country in the world that still issues a Revolver as the weapon of choice for their police, that never issued them when they were the weapon of choice for almost every police force in the world. Back when everyone carried Webley's and S&W's, Japan's police were unarmed.

The CSS Shenandoah did indeed carry on their "privateer" operations after the Civil war officially ended, racking up an impressive haul of Northern (merchant) ships.

And, Spec 4 Ken Busy was thrown to the ground by an enraged elephant, while serving in Vietnam, earning him the title of "only US serviceman injured by an angry elephant" in the war.

Thank you Sharpie, for that fine work!


Let's go on to Thursday's question...


General Douglas MacArthur obviously survived his first battle against a fearsome enemy force. Who was it that "Mac" first saw in enemy action?
