Hollow The cannonballs are hollow, with a small opening. When I first saw them as a kid (yearrrrsss ago!), one was plugged--possibly cork or wood, and was filled with small bits of stone and sand. The sword story came from a "trust-worthy" kid down the street, Kevin McFadden, who claimed his...

Cannonballs I have posted this previously concerning cannonballs that were found buried at my grandparents home--they lived at the end of third ave. in Brooklawn, very close to the southern shore of the Little Timber Creek. Six were found, and when discovered, caused a stir with a historical...

Had Shrimp Tonight And will continue to enjoy them. :)

$200,000 The "consultant" from Philly or NYC or someplace far-removed from the NJPB will get $195,000 for a few minutes work (most of which will be done by underlings and interns or whomever), then $4,000 will go to the warden of a penintentiary in Trenton who oversees prisoners making highway...

Just Great Big A_ _ _ _ _ _ _ Who can account for this kind of behavior, it literally blows my mind so bad I have to duct-tape my head before it explodes. I live in a small town, and people will drive by my house and throw cig. packs, tissues, butts, bottles, cans, fast-food crap---I am...

Hey Deesweet Hey Deesweet, this is off topic, I noticed you're from Bellmawr--my wife graduated from Triton in 1975---she lived on 4th Ave.---anyway, Hi and welcome!!

Yip Yip Hooorayyy for the USA!!!! I'll take a "just barely" win over a loss anytime. The whole war was a "just barely" event, and I am thankful for the contributions of those early forges.

Franklin stoves? I think PB iron was superb and exceptionally useful for the needs of the times---technology/progress, a force unto itself, made a new generation of iron available. The Batsto furnace was active for many years, proving its usefulness and worth to those early pioneers. If I...

Where did you get them eyes????? Now that was one scarey JD-like movie....freaks me out whenever I hear that song.

Brooklawn Cannonballs (Sounds like a Bowling Team) My Grandfather lived in a home near the Little Timber Creek in Brooklawn. It was within yards of the southern bank, quite an impressive and high river bank. The story has it that he was planting in his garden when he discovered 6 cannonballs...

Reminds me... Hey Piker 56, your tale reminds me of two hikers who encountered a grizzly bear, one started running like mad when the other guy said "hey, why are you running so fast, you know you can't outrun a grizzly". The other guy replied, "I'm not worried about outrunning him, I just have...

OK, now, which is it?? Is it a sick bird or not, which is it???:jeffd:

No Fear Personally, Ebsi, I have no fear of death. And I reject your premise that the world is as poisonous as you claim. The earth has an awesome ability to heal itself. I have seen it myself---I remember when the Delaware River was a flowing garbage dump, and there was a "dead zone " up and...

"Caught"? I KNOW you didn't mean to imply you "caught" the creatures you are describing, but instead meant to say you "caught a VIEW of them"? Because, and y'all can correct me if I'm wrong, I thought collecting plants and animals in the PB's was just a tad illegal? Unless, of course, you are a...

The Point? Hi Ebsi---I've read you can't trust Organic Foods either...if a human was broken down into the millions of organic and inorganic substances we're composed of, we would be toxic. Come to think of it, we are (ask any health professional about urine, blood, and feces spills)! BTW, teeth...

Broken paddle Tom M and I forgot our paddles once, and rather than throw in the towel, we took the roof racks off his car and used them for paddles---not very esthetically pleasing, but they worked, sort of....can't do that with foam blocks though!!!!:)

I think it is up to the individual to intellectually pursue the truth and come to his or her own conclusion about what to believe. BELIEF is not always based on intellectual honesty or credible evidence---albeit, you can be sincere about your belief, and sincerely WRONG at the same time. Now, we...

This is not a convincing analogy. The denial of the existence of one's own brain is not at all tenable; the denial of the existence of bigfoot is not only tenable, but intellectually responsible.....or so it seems to me. Perhaps you missed the analogy--to the Quaker, to deny God's existence...

Intellectully speaking, right on my brother! Some of the smartest people I know ain't too bright, if you know what I mean....

Easy there Steve Reminds me of the conversation between the atheist and the Quaker: Atheist: How can you say there is a God? Have you seen Him? Have you touched Him? Quaker: You say you have a brain--have you seen it? have you touched it? And YOU say you have a brain?
