Not verified as true, but interesting.....

Captain Kangaroo passed away on January 23, 2004 at age 76 , which is
odd, because he always looked to be 76. (DOB: 6/27/27.) It reminded me of
the following story.
Some people have been a bit offended that the actor, Lee Marvin, is
buried in a grave alongside 3 and 4 star generals at Arlington National
Cemetery
Here's a guy who was only a famous movie star who served his time, why
the heck does he rate burial with these guys? Well, following is the
amazing answer: I always liked Lee Marvin, but didn't know the extent of
his Corps experiences.
In a time when many Hollywood stars served their country in the armed
forces often in rear-echelon posts where they were carefully protected,
only to be trotted out to perform for the cameras in war bond promotions,
Lee Marvin was a genuine hero. He won the Navy Cross at Iwo Jima. There
is only one higher Naval award... the Medal Of Honor.
If that is a surprising comment on the true character of the man, he
credits his sergeant with an even greater show of bravery.
During a dialog on "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson", Johnny's guest
was Lee Marvin. Johnny said, "Lee, I'll bet a lot of people are unaware
that you were a Marine in the initial landing at Iwo Jima... and that
during the course of that action you earned the Navy Cross and were
severely wounded."
"Yeah, yeah... I got shot square in the bottom and they gave me the Cross
for securing a hot spot about halfway up Suribachi. Bad thing about
getting shot up on a mountain is guys getting' shot hauling you down But,
Johnny, at Iwo I served under the bravest man I ever knew... . We both
got the cross the same day, but what he di d for his Cross made mine look
cheap in comparison. That dumb guy actually stood up on Red beach and
directed his troops to move forward and get the hell off the beach.
Bullets flying by, with mortar rounds landing everywhere and he stood
there as the main target.
Johnny, I'm not lying, Sergeant Keeshan was the bravest man I ever knew.
The Sergeant's name is Bob Keeshan. You and the world know him as Captain
Kangaroo."
On another note, there was this wimpy little man (who just passed away)
on PBS, gentle and quiet. Mr. Rogers is another of those you would least
suspect of being anything but what he now portrays to our youth. But Mr.
Rogers was a U.S. Navy Seal, combat-proven in Vietnam with over
twenty-five confirmed kills to his name. He wore a long-sleeved sweater
on TV, to cover the many tattoos on his forearm and biceps. He was a
master in small arms and hand-to-hand combat, able to disarm or kill in a
heartbeat.
After the war Mr. Rogers became an ordained Presbyterian minister and
therefore a pacifist. Vowing to never harm another human and also
dedicating the rest of his life to trying to help lead children on the
right path in life. He hid away the tattoos and his past life and won our
hearts with his quiet wit and charm.
America's real heroes don't flaunt what they did; they quietly go about
their day-to-day lives, doing what they do best. They earned our respect
and the freedoms that we all enjoy
Look around and see if you can find one of those heroes in your midst.
Often, they are the ones you'd least suspect, but would most like to have
on your side if anything ever happened.
Take the time to thank anyone that has fought for our freedom. With
encouragement they could be the next Captain Kangaroo or Mr. Rogers.

Snopes, ever heard of it?
Hey, I read it on the internet, it must be true. :D :D :D

Hey, I read it on the internet, it must be true. :D :D :D
this must be true also.. :) i hope!
Women who perform the act of fellatio on a regular basis, one to two times a week, may reduce their risk of breast cancer by up to 40 percent, a recent study found.
Doctors had never suspected a link between the act of fellatio and breast cancer, but new research being performed is starting to suggest that there could be an important link between the two.
In a study of over 15,000 women suspected of having performed regular fellatio over the past ten years, the researchers found that those actually having performed the act regularly, one to two times a week, had a lower occurance of breast cancer than those who had not. There was no increased risk, however, for those who did not regularly perform.
"I think it removes the last shade of doubt that fellatio is actually a healthy act," said Dr. B.J. Sooner of the Hopkins School of Medicine, who was not involved in the research. "I am surprised by these findings, but am also excited that the researchers may have discovered a relatively easy way to lower the occurance of breast cancer in women."
The University researchers stressed that, though breast cancer is relatively uncommon, any steps taken to reduce the risk would be a wise decision.
"Only with regular performance will your chances be reduced, so I encourage all women out there to make fellatio an important part of their daily routine," said Dr. Inserta Shafteer, one of the researchers. "Since the emergence of the research, I try to fellate at least once every other night to reduce my chances."
The study is reported in Friday's Journal of Medical Research.
In 1991, 43,582 women died of breast cancer, as reported by the National Cancer Institute.
Dr. Len Lictepeen, deputy chief medical officer for the American Cancer Group, said women should not overlook or "play down" these findings.
"This will hopefully change women's practice and patterns, resulting in a severe drop in the future number of cases," Lictepeen said.
Sooner said the research shows no increase in the risk of breast cancer in those who are, for whatever reason, not able to fellate regularly.
"There's definitely fertile ground for more research. Many have stepped forward to volunteer for related research now in the planning stages," he said.
Almost every woman is, at some point, going to perform the act of fellatio, but it is the frequency at which this event occurs that makes the difference, say researchers.
The reasearch consisted of two groups, 6,246 women ages 25 to 45 who had performed fellatio on a regular basis over the past five to ten years, and 9,728 women who had not. The group of women who had performed fellatio had a breast cancer rate of 1.9 percent and the group who had not had a breast cancer rate of 10.4 percent.
"The findings do suggest that there are other causes for breast cancer besides the absence of regular fellatio," Shafteer said. "It's a cause, not THE cause."

They actor who played Scotty on Star Trek was shot 3 times on the beaches of Normadie, you will never see one of his hands on tv (i don't remember which) becuase he had a finger blown off that day.

Snopes, ever heard of it?

And, Mr. Rogers was not a Marine Corps sniper.
How do you know that Snopes isn't full of shit? Who is around to police the internet police??? They could be a bunch of guys with a sense of humor who like to screw with people on the internet. What makes them right??? I like the idea of Mr.Rogers being a tatted up bad-ass Navy Seal with a bunch of kills. Makes it more exciting that way. :D :D :D
