The fastest recorded time of Dogginess

The Fastest Dog

Greyhound is the fastest dog breed in the world over short distances.  According to Guinness World Records, the highest speed at which any greyhound has been timed is 41.8 mph (67.3km/h) in Wyong, Australia  1994

 Most dog breeds enjoy running. However, Greyhounds are one of the fastest animals on land. Originally come from the deserts of the Middle East, and are one of the oldest breeds around. Greyhounds had arrived in Europe by around the 6th Century. Today, it is mainly used for hunting and racing. Greyhounds have very short hair, which is easy to maintain. The fastest dog species also have a very deep chest for enlarged heart and lung capacity, long, powerful legs and a long tail. The Greyhound is not an aggressive dog, they are sociable with people and with other dogs. This very ancient breed is moderately easy to train, they rarely bark and are good with children, are gentle and affectionate, and very intelligent. They make excellent house pets. The life span of these dogs is over ten years.

The First Typewriter

    It was called the "Sholes & Glidden Type Writer," and it was produced by the gunmakers E. Remington & Sons in Ilion, NY from 1874-1878. It was not a great success (not more than 5,000 were sold), but it founded a worldwide industry, and it brought mechanization to dreary, time-consuming office work. With the key of an old telegraph instrument mounted on its base, Sholes would tap down on his model, and the little type jumped up to hit the carbon & paper against the glass plate. There was nothing for spacing, line advance or any "normal" typewriter feature. Those were all to come. It seems silly, but in 1868, the mere idea that type striking against paper to produce an image was totally new. It needed proving, and the little telegraph key model did the trick.
.
With the point proven, Sholes proceeded to construct a machine to do the whole alphabet. The prototype was eventually sent to Washington as the required Patent Model. The original still exists, locked up in a vault at the Smithsonian:
Sholes' original prototype and patent model.

May 1st, Cold War Remembrance?

    Most Americans associate May Day with the hanging of flower baskets or the National Day of Prayer. With the Cold War now a distant memory, we seem to have forgotten that May 1, or May Day, while traditionally representing the coming of spring, has been for over a century the most important calendar day of the year for communists, socialists, and anarchists. This was the traditional day in the Soviet Union and the communist bloc countries for massive parades, replete with missiles, tanks, rank upon rank of goose-stepping troops, red flags, and huge posters of Marx and Lenin. This has not changed in countries that are still officially communist, such as China, North Korea, Cuba, and Vietnam. In non-communist countries of the world, the communist and socialist parties have continued to hold May Day celebrations, usually under the banner of International Workers Solidarity Day.

   Andy McInerney, a staff member of the communist Workers World Party and a leader of the ANSWER Coalition's illegal alien organizing effort, extolled the glories of May Day in the Spring 1996 edition of Liberation & Marxism. McInerney wrote:

Every year, the ruling classes around the world are again reminded of their vulnerability and of the power of their gravediggers. On May 1, the world working class displays its strength in demonstrations and strikes. May Day — International Workers' Day — is a reminder to the ruling classes that their days are numbered.... From 1919 onward, the success of May Day in the United States would depend on the success of the communist movement....

   I for one, will not let the dirt bags of communistic societies claim a day to show of what they don't have.
