Round photographic plates.

A photograph of great historical interest.
The track is one left by a positron. This positron possessed,
an energy of 63 MeV, before entering the lead plate from below;
after penetrating the 6 mm. lead plate, it proceeded with an
energy of 23 MeV. This change of energy, shows definitely,
the direction of motion of the particle and, therefore, allows
one to conclude, that it is positively charged.

Big Bertha Thing jeremiah
A film Jeremiah Johnson, not necessarily true.
A mountain man asked him, whether he was any good at skinning bears.
He said that he could skin them, faster than the mountain man could
catch them.
So running down the mountain, with a bear in hot pursuit.
His friend runs in the front door of the cabin and jumps out
the back window.
Quote
"You skin that one ... and I'll go catch me another one!"

Big Bertha Thing warlord
The last time I heard that an apology given under duress was valid,
was in the Monty Python' comedy sketch on the Spanish Inquisition.
Everytime anyone said Spanish Inquisition,
then 3 red cardinals turned up to organise it.
What do I have in comon with a Texas cattle baron?
He thinks that he is a bigger liar than I am. I think I am.
What does a drill sargeant have in comon with a chinese warlord?
He says that the sun will not rise tomorrow. His men believe it.
What is the difference between a Texas cattle baron and a
chinese warlord? The one knows he is lying. The other has never had
the problem.
