Cancer Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Quote The armor that an armadillo carries around is tough and then some. In April of this year, Larry McElroy fired a 9mm pistol at an armadillo in his yard in Georgia. The bullet ricocheted off the animal’s armor and into a mobile home belonging to his mother-in-law, 100 yards away. The bullet went into the back of the recliner McElroy’s mother-in-law was sitting in. She was taken to a hospital with minor injuries; the armadillo did not survive the encounter. ... That's my story and sticking to it. Source for the quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkdguy Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 I have tried calligraphy, but I'm not very good at it. I've heard lefties often struggle with calligraphy, and I'm one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
