This is Jim Thorpe. Look closely at the photo, you can see that he's wearing different socks and shoes. This wasn't a fashion statement.
It was the 1912 Olympics, and Jim represented the U.S. in track and field. On the morning of his competition, his shoes were stolen. Luckily, Jim ended up finding two shoes in a garbage can.
That's the pair that he's wearing in the photo. But one of the shoes was too big, so he had to wear an extra sock. Wearing these shoes, Jim won two gold medals that day.
Margaret, 90, had gotten outside twice before her son Keith installed cameras. He expected to find footage of the problem.
He found something else. Every single night for nine months their golden retriever Flynn had already been at the front door before Margaret reached the hallway.
Blocking. Redirecting. Taking her sleeve and guiding her back to bed. Thirty-seven documented nights. Not once had she made it outside. Margaret's neurologist watched the recording and said: "I have worked in memory care for twenty-three years. Flynn is performing structured redirection. He built every component of it on his own." Keith said: "He figured it out the first night."
@KPO4015@freakoutsideofx I think he said Four dads because of Desi Arnez Jr and step father Mike Pearce. Patty Duke John that Desi was the real father and they got to know eachother and bonded before the real truth came out.
@nuel_flow@DiscussingFilm Idk if it's fresh because it reminds me of an episode of Tales of the Crypt the guy loves his neighbor but she doesn't like him.
So he somehow got a love potion and she became obsessed with him. So much so he had to kill her.

These two giant turtles have been fighting each other for more than 120 years.
According to the zoo, one turtle stole the other’s food 120 years ago, and since that day they became enemies.
There hasn’t been a single day where they don’t fight for 2–3 minutes😂
@marrhwang@Caleya125@nochaveznada The Greeks made a big deal out of Helen because she was Blonde which was really rare. It wasn't the face that launched a 1000 ships it was her hair
POPE LEO CONDEMNS ISRAEL:
“I carry the image of a Muslim child killed in Lebanon, who, during my visit to Lebanon, was standing there holding a sign that said "Welcome, Pope Leo," and in this latest phase of the war, he was killed.
I cannot be in favor of war.”
