    Blood always flows backwards, back into the heart to get purified and pumped back out again. What’s they talking about? Who writes these paragraphs? Can’t they writes things that makes more sense?

    Some more info about the battle of Germantown:

    Washington not only called a short truce to return the dog, he had it washed, brushed and fed first.

    The fog caused so much confusion for the American fighters that a large number of their casualties were from shots fired between two American divisions.

    Some more info about blood flowing backwards in space:

    It’s really not good for you.

    The illustration shows a “Giant” (one million pound note), not a “Titan” (hundred million pound note).

    Mark Twain wrote a short story entitled “The Million Pound Bank Note” which was the basis for a 1954 movie. In Edwardian London, American sailor Henry Adams (Gregory Peck) is destitute and living hand-to-mouth. By sheer luck Henry gets embroiled in a unique bet between wealthy brothers Roderick (Wilfrid Hyde-White) and Oliver Montpelier (Ronald Squire). The brothers present Henry with an envelope containing a one-million-pound banknote, a bill whose mere existence, Oliver contends, will allow Henry to survive comfortably for an entire month without spending any money.

    These 100 million pound notes were the origin of the expression, “Remember the Titans!” BELIEVE IT, OR DON’T!

    Following Washington’s example, Mel Gibson returned two dogs to General Cornwallis, but they preferred Mel and left with him.

    The nosebleed seats must be interesting.

    A missing Titan, and now we know the real reason for the hoopla surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

    I”m thinking the US Treasury must be printing those Titans, too.

    How does blood flow backward in a human? The heart has valves that prevent that. Arteries also have valves to prevent that.

    Those bank notes could be left out on the bank counter; even if someone were to steal one where they gonna’ cash it and would be kinda’ easy to catch them…

    From Wikipedia:

    “On October 6, there was a brief cease-fire. A little terrier that was identified from its collar as belonging to General Howe was formally transferred from Washington’s camp to Howe’s under a flag of truce. The little terrier that had been found wandering on the battlefield was brought to Washington, who had the dog fed, cleaned and brushed before being returned to Howe.”

    So, the “titan” is for stashing away only, since no one gets to use or see?
