Keep your eye on Pepsi....they may be supplying the deep state shadow government...haha
In the early 90s, Pepsi owned 17 submarines, a cruiser, a frigate, and a destroyer, all because of a deal with the Soviet Union in which they exchanged soda for military equipment.

Nowhere in England is more than 75 miles (121 km) from the sea.
@Heart2Soul Pepsi paid for the coup in Chile that toppled President Allende.

This one I have known for years.
(Gold, being a 'type' of God's nature. )
*One ounce of gold ( soft metal ) can be stretched for over 50 miles.*
Fun eh...who would have thunk it!

While thinking of gold=
Gold is so malleable that a single ounce of it (about the size of a quarter) can be beaten into a thin continuous sheet measuring roughly 100 square feet.

Two origins about safeguards in place so not to be accidentally buried alive..
1. The oldest origin: Old English.....men drank ale from mugs and tankards made of lead and other toxic elements. A few would stagger out of the tavern and lay seemingly 'dead' along the wayside. Unable to get a pulse for many hours they would eventually be laid into grave with a bell next to their side. A volunteer would sit atop next to the grave for several more hours. If they heard the bell ring they would alert those necessary to raised the person from the 'dead.' This is how we got the expression, 'saved by the bell'... if they never heard the bell they pronounced the man dead and he was then buried.
2. During epidemics of the 17th and 18th century some people were accidentally buried alive. So they fashioned an elaborate contraption of strings and pulleys from their head to their toes with bells that would ring if someone was still alive in their grave....same result
Saved by the bell!....

One more "did you know" from the resident English teacher.
Did you know that it's improper grammar to end a sentence with a preposition (i.e. to, from, with, in, etc.)?
Rumor has it that Winston Churchill was corrected for ending a sentence with a preposition, to which he replied, “This is the kind of pedantic nonsense up with which I will not put!”

Well, I may be reprimanded for commenting on this (lol), but I say talk however you want if those listening to you understand what you're saying; however, if you're trying to use proper grammar, don't say ain't. It's considered slang.
Did this answer your question? :)
Yes, I knew that but can't be bothered to be so pedantic.One more "did you know" from the resident English teacher.

And friendly, too. One on our property used to crawl from a tree branch onto my arm, and eat nuts while sitting on my shoulder. If we didn't come outside each morning soon enough to suit him, he would swing his weight on the front door screen, making the door "bang" until we acknowledged him.They are pretty though.
Another one, about a block away, used to walk between my dog's legs, and several times took the dog's nose in his front paws, and nuzzled him, like giving him a kiss.
Did you know that when you ask "where it's at" Is an incomplete sentence and improper to end a sentence or question with at or it.One more "did you know" from the resident English teacher.

Or where is it...where ya at
Did you know that you could see Heaven in only three or four days if you can keep from drinking anything for that period of time? (I've made it 31 hours at the present time.)
Animals are incredible and will always sur prise you. There have little birds in my garden the last couple of day landing on any hard surfaces like the door handles.
