Judy: The Only Dog Officially Registered as a Prisoner of War. In 1942, as Japanese forces overran the Dutch East Indies, a liver-and-white English Pointer named Judy survived the loss of her ship and was taken prisoner along with the surviving crew. She became the only dog in history to be officially entered on a prisoner-of-war register by the Japanese authorities, complete with her own number: 81A Gloergoer Medan. Judy had served as mascot aboard the British river gunboat HMS Grasshopper. After the vessel came under attack, she and the crew endured a grueling trek through jungle and across islands before capture. In the POW camps she quickly proved her value. She barked warnings when guards approached, alerted prisoners to snakes and scorpions, and once located the only fresh water on a deserted island after a shipwreck, helping the men survive. At the Gloergoer camp in Medan, Leading Aircraftman Frank Williams shared his meager rice ration with her. When guards threatened to shoot the dog for growling at them, Williams persuaded the camp commandant, reportedly after plying him with sake, to register Judy as an official prisoner. The commandant signed the papers in exchange for the promise of one of her future puppies. From that point on she was treated, on paper at least, as any other POW. Judy spent nearly three years in captivity. She boosted morale among the men and helped them endure brutal conditions. After the war she returned to Britain with Frank Williams. In 1946 she was awarded the Dickin Medal, the highest honor for animals in wartime service. She lived until 1950, outlasting many of the humans she had protected.

How can someone be so out of shape that they can physically not get up?

The late Muhammad Ali, world boxing legend, gave this answer in an interview, when he was under pressure to go and fight in Vietnam, or else be imprisoned, which actually happened. “I'm not going to duck. I'm not burning any flags. I'm not going to run to Canada. I'm staying right here. You want to send me to jail? Fine, go ahead. I've been in jail for 400 years. I could be there for 4 or 5 more, but I'm not going to go 10,000 miles to help murder and kill other poor people. If I want to die, I'll die right here, right now, fighting you, if I want to die. You're my enemy, not any Chinese, not any Vietcong, not any Japanese. You're my opponent when I want freedom. You're my opponent when I want justice. You're my opponent when I want equality. You want me to go somewhere and fight for you? You won't even defend me right here in America, neither my rights nor my religious beliefs. You won't even defend me here at home."

This photographer should get a gold medal!

Greatest Unscripted Moments in Cinema History A THREAD 🧵🧵👇👇 1. The Godfather (1972) - The Cat in Don Vito’s Lap: An Unexpected Icon In the opening scene of "The Godfather" (1972), Marlon Brando's character, Don Vito Corleone, is seen stroking a cat. This was not scripted but happened when a stray cat wandered onto the set. Director Francis Ford Coppola placed the cat in Brando's lap, creating an iconic cinematic moment. The cat's loud purring muffled some of Brando's dialogue, requiring it to be looped. The cat added a layer of calm menace to Don Vito's character, symbolizing the hidden claws beneath his warm facade. This unexpected detail has become an enduring symbol of the film, contributing to its rich symbolism and character development.

Some of the Greatest Unscripted Moments in Cinema History—PART 2 A THREAD 🧵🧵👇👇 9. “Saving Private Ryan” (1998) - Telling the Story One of the most iconic moments in the film is a scene where Private Ryan shares a story about his brothers. This scene, which was not part of the original script, was completely improvised by Matt Damon. In the scene, Ryan starts telling Captain Miller, played by Tom Hanks, a story about how he and two of his brothers caught the fourth brother in the barn having an intimate moment with an unattractive woman. The story, while seemingly uninteresting and rambling, added a layer of authenticity and emotional depth to the film. The improvised story was initially perceived as rambling and uninteresting, but it worked in the scene because it portrayed Ryan as an average, unremarkable young man, not some extraordinary figure. This portrayal of Ryan as an ordinary individual was a deliberate choice by Spielberg, as it subverted audience expectations and emphasized the inherent value of saving a human life, regardless of their significance.

Alright , before anyone comments against it .. I think I need to clarify this .. No, they cannot go over, under, or around the car. It’s literally a life and death situation, they need as much water as possible as fast as possible, any bends or kinks in the hose will lower the water pressure significantly. If you don’t want this to happen to your car don’t park in front of a fire hydrant, it’s 100% legal and necessary for this to be done and 100% illegal to park in front of the hydrant. That’s it, no ifs ands or buts about it

Edith Macefield’s life was as intriguing as her decision to refuse the million-dollar offer. Born in Oregon in 1921, she was a polyglot, fluent in French, German, and other languages. Her adventurous spirit led her to join the military and she was sent to England. However, her service was cut short when officials discovered she was not yet 18. In England, Macefield took on the noble task of caring for war orphans. She later returned to the United States, where she cared for her mother and worked at Washington Dental Service. Her personal life was marked by four marriages, all in Europe, and the tragic loss of her only child, a son who died at 13 from spinal meningitis. After her refusal to sell her home, Macefield formed an unlikely friendship with Barry Martin, the construction superintendent for the new mall. Many speculated that Martin was trying to trick Macefield into moving, but he insisted that his intentions were genuine. After Macefield’s death, it was revealed that she had willed her house to Martin.

Some of the Greatest Unscripted Moments in Cinema History—PART 3 A THREAD 🧵🧵👇👇 18. Django Unchained (2012) - DiCaprio bleeding hand scene One of the most famous scenes in the film shows DiCaprio's character, Calvin Candie, giving one of his heated speeches. There, DiCaprio hits his hand on a table with several glasses so hard that he actually breaks one and slices his hand. The character, despite the injury, went on in full action, adding his bloody hand to what could be seen. He later disclosed the incident in an interview with Cynthia McFadden, where he said that at this point, his hand was dripping blood all over the table. And that's where he turned to his cast members, saying it was a "good time" as he saw Quentin Tarantino's and Jamie Foxx's looks off-camera. The scene was impactful and made its way into the final cut of the film.

The kid in the video is Jaycee's brother Blake-he had just spoken with Jaycee prior to the door camera clip, as Jaycee told Blake he was going into the laundry room to grab some clean laundry, etc. Except, after some time, he never came out of that room, which prompted Blake to call their mom, who was already on her way home from work. Blake was worried that something seemed off. When their mom arrived home, she went into the laundry room and found that Jaycee had taken his life. Jaycee came out to his classmates a few weeks beforehand. They responded negatively, and their persistent severe harassment and relentless bullying is what led Jaycee to take his own life. It's fucking terrible, his family immediately accepted him and he had a loving home life, but the way his peers treated him. I wish bullying was taken more seriously--it's not just teasing, it really takes a toll on people's mental health. I just have no words :( a statement from their mother hit hard as well: "I truly believe with the world being much kinder, I would have 6 living children, not 5."

Scary Movie series will never let you know their next move

On Father’s Day, a supermarket employee named Santino Burrola was fired after he recorded three men stealing approximately $500 worth of laundry detergent from a King Soopers grocery store in Colorado. Burrola, a former military police officer, was alerted to a theft in progress at the store. His first instinct was to pull out his phone and record the incident. He saw a man halfway out of the store with a food cart full of laundry detergents and scent boosters. As he walked out of the store, he saw the three thieves hurriedly loading up a black Chevy Trax. One of them was opening the doors, another was throwing a basket full of items into the back seat, and the third was struggling to unload the full shopping cart. In the viral video shared by the Arapahoe Sheriff’s Office, Burrola can be heard saying, “Really, bro, you got to resort to this? The economy isn’t that bad,”. He even joked with the men, saying, “Better gettin’ while the gettin’s good,”. The video shows the thieves having trouble getting into the vehicle as they attempted to flee the parking lot. This allowed Burrola to yank a sheet of foil covering the license plate. After the men left the area, Burrola called the police and later shared the video on social media, which helped the investigators. The video was viewed 1.5 million times and was even shared by rapper Snoop Dogg. Investigators have already identified and arrested the driver, Jorge Pantoja, 32, the man in the green shirt. Pantoja is currently in custody at the Adams County Detention Facility on unrelated felony charges. When Burrola returned to the store for his next shift, he learned he had been suspended, and a week later was fired. He sat down with the union rep and the store management, who recommended termination. Burrola stated that he didn’t break any rules or touch the thieves — all he was doing was trying to help the community. Burrola expressed that he didn’t feel he overstepped boundaries as he didn’t physically touch the thieves or alter their shoplifting in any way. He just revealed the license plate to help the community to be aware, the police be aware and to help better catch them. He hopes this incident will bring about changes to policy, giving power back to retail workers like himself.
