First off, before I dive into history...

I re-use water bottles. To save on money, I re-use a few water bottles every day. My fridge at home has a filter on it, so I just re-fill them every night for the next day. I clean them out as much as possible to.

So, yesterday, I put my "sport" water bottle in the work fridge. Quitting time rolls around and I go to the fridge to grab the water and then head to the gym to work out.

WTF?

It's gone. Someone has stolen my re-used water bottle. Fuckers. I didn't clean it out the night before.

I hope you get sick and miss work.

63 Years Ago Today



The Battle of Iwo Jima took place between the United States and the Japanese Empire in February and March 1945 during the Pacific Campaign of World War II. The U.S. invasion, known as Operation Detachment, was charged with the mission of capturing the airfields on Iwo Jima.

The actual flag raising didn't occur until February 23rd.

The battle was marked by some of the fiercest fighting of the campaign. The Imperial Japanese Army positions on the island were heavily fortified, with vast bunkers, hidden artillery, and 18 kilometers (11 mi) of tunnels. The battle was the first American attack on the Japanese Home Islands and the Imperial soldiers defended their positions tenaciously. Of the 21,000 Japanese soldiers present at the beginning of the battle, over 20,000 were killed and only 216 taken prisoner.

I've had a couple incidents where my Boston Market meal disappeared out of the freezer at work and an apple from the fridge. I've heard rumors that developers working late raid the fridge. bastards

We didn't take your water to drink it. We took your water to get DNA samples so we could clone you for medical experiments ... Silly Soup.
