Meat go boom! In 1970, Charles Godfrey of California patented a system for tenderizing meat using explosives! Indian diamond trader Mahesh Savani paid for 111 fatherless brides from humble backgrounds to get married at a ceremony in the city of Surat in November 2014. In December 2014, the Dutch explorer Manon Ossevoort reached the South Pole and a Massey Ferguson tractor, completing a 25,000 mile journey from the Netherlands.

If TNT can tenderize meat, good luck scraping all the leftover scraps to make your hamburger patties, your meatloaves, etc. off the walls.

Exactly just because a man wants to play father of the bride, does not mean hes a sexual deviant.

It said, “fatherless brides”! Maybe he did it because he never had a daughter!

To Juice-Bruce, the problem I have is only in the typing of my comments maybe once a week. The problems I have been having for over a week is kind of like a freeze up where I canmove my curser but I get no response when I click on some-thing & I cannot scroll up or down. All this started happeningabout a week ago!

Did that tractor have pontoons? You still have to cross water to reach Antarctica.

Re meat tenderizing: At one time someone experimented with running high voltage through roasts, but have not heard of it since. (Probably too dangerous to the user)

Regarding the Indian diamond trader, in India the dowry custom involves the bride’s family making payment to the bridegroom’s family. The fatherless brides from poor backgrounds would have no way to pay a dowry, thus would be destined to marry someone in equally poor circumstances. What the diamond trader would have been doing, is making the dowry payment on behalf of these poor young women, allowing them to make a better marriage.
