    Russian Roulette

    Even though Russian Roulette is a gambling game it has no affiliation with the casino Roulette game, though some might say it has some similarities like spinning the roulette wheel. Russian roulette can be a very lethal game of chance that can lead to Russian Roulette suicide if luck is not on your side.

    The way this dangerous game is played is usually with a six shot revolver giving the players a 1 in 6 chance of staying alive equaling out to about 84%. How the game works is that the player will place one bullet into the chamber of the revolver and spin the cylinder not knowing the location of the round. Then the player will take turns placing the muzzles against their heads and pulls the trigger. Some people say that as soon as the cylinder is spun, the weight of the bullet is likely stay on the bottom of the cylinder increasing the blank shots.

    Stories from the past say that the invention of Russian Roulette came from Russian soldiers and took place in Russia. It is said to be that in the 19th century prison guards bet on the Russian prisoners while forcing them to play the game. Another story that is told is that the desperate and suicidal army officers played the game to impress one another.

    You really are a bitter little man Woppit. Junkyard responded to your completely pointless post with a harmless but fairly amusing comment. Instead of leaving it, you keep returning with more snidey and sneering comments. You appear to be determined to make an issue out of nothing.

    … with which you decided to join in, rather than “leave it”. But then, what WOULD the new year be like without the profound insights of our resident professor of all that is Important (if only in his own head).

    Don’t quite understand how when he does it, it’s amusing but when I do it, it’s “bitter”…

    Ok let me try – Do you think anyone thinks that is you or your wife in the picture? NO so how could it be seen as an attack on you rather than just a “caption” to a funny picture you posted?
    I assume the phrase “smart guy” was directed directly at me to imply I was not smart. Even then I only replied by saying sorry I thought you had a sense of humour – again hardly bitter. Stalin was a bit random but I assume it was not flattering what with stalin being a despot,nutter and a mass murderer. So the caption followed by an apology was not enough for you and you cariied on appearing to be bitter/insulting over a little caption and making something out of nothing.
    Not sure why you need this explaining but hope I have helped you get it.

    that Firefox doesn’t count, it’s Hollywood fiction

    but this exists – the fastest production interceptor ever built AFAIK

    Developed to intercept a US bomber that never made it past prototype, the XB70 Valkyrie – which is equally amazing:

    just noticed, the XB70 photo above is a photo of someone’s 1/48 scale scratch built model of one. apparently the model is over 4 feet long 😯

    a 1/48 Spitfire, by contrast, is about 8-9in long

    john_drummer are you sure about the relative size of the Spitfire, or is it just FAR AWAY…..

    nice you look less bitter now.

    Perhaps people have a point [ though they are being impolite about making it but you are no stranger to this style]? Is it not possible that your posts are, often, a bit bitter,angry and upsetting to some ? Look how you react to a caption and people commenting on it for example- do you really think youare beinfg nice? The alternative view that some ill defined Freudian unconscious process is responsible for the perception seems somewhat flimsy.

    Agree with Berm. If you can’t say it with flowers then don’t say anything (guess the song lyric?)

    Can this be a competition? The first person who can guess what konabunny wanted to really say gets a prize.
