Twist: The unit never existed and was just an elaborate ruse to take attention away from the real landings in Normandy. It worked ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acute Posted August 28, 2017 Author #438 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Captain Pugwash is a fictional pirate in children's comic strips and books created by John Ryan, and later turned into a TV series. There is a persistent urban legend that ascribes sexually suggestive names -- such as Master Bates, Seaman Staines, and Roger (meaning "have sex with") the Cabin Boy -- to Captain Pugwash's characters, and indicating that the captain's name was an Australian slang term for oral sex. In 1991, Ryan successfully sued two British newspapers for printing this nonsense as fact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it’s estimated there are over 5,000 federal crimes, and that number is constantly increasing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
