Have we had this one? It's amazing what seeming rational people will do when faced with taking instructions from a [supposed] person of authority!

WTF!

Longest recorded sniper kills

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_recorded_snip...

The record is held by a Brit (hurrah!) at 1.5 miles Just to prove it wasn't a fluke he repeated it.

Also:

He did it with a 338 lapua too, most of the others are 50!

That is seriously impressive,although the .338 Lapua is arguably the better long range round.

Cambridge City's Walter 'Snowy' Farr

I was fascinated by Snowy as a child in the '70's & 80's. All his regalia and animals, especially the mice running around his Top Hat. He raised many thousands of pounds for charity.

A sculpture in his memory was unveiled this year, coincidentally on my 40th birthday. I saw it today and it made me happy for those memories of a genuinely nice eccentric from my childhood.

Just Nuisance - A train travelling, Navy enlisted Great Dane

Article said:

Although somebody offered to buy him a season ticket, Naval Command instead decided to enlist him by the book. As a member of the armed forces, he would be entitled to free rail travel, so the fare-dodging would no longer be a problem.
