Bet you didn't know this about that

I had no idea it took so long!

In the fall of 1781, American and British troops fought the last major battle of the American Revolutionary War in Yorktown, Virginia.

A combined American and French force, led by George Washington and French General Comte de Rochambeau, completely surrounded and captured British General Charles Cornwallis and about 9,000 British troops during the Siege of Yorktown.

When news of the British defeat at Yorktown reached England, support for the war in America faded in both the British Parliament and the public. England agreed to begin peace negotiations with the Americans to end the Revolutionary War. The negotiations would take nearly two years!

The Treaty of Paris - signed on this date - September 3, 1783 formally ended the American Revolutionary War. American statesmen Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and John Jay negotiated the peace treaty with Great Britain. In the Treaty of Paris, the British Crown formally recognized American independence and ceded most of its territory east of the Mississippi River to the United States, doubling the size of the new nation and paving the way for westward expansion.

Let's celebrate this piece of shit's birthday today, too. Whitey Bolger - maybe the biggest scumbag bad guy of all time...

Whitey Bulger was a notorious Boston Irish crime boss who controlled the Winter Hill Gang from the 1970's into the 1990's partly due to his role as an FBI informant. He was an FBI rat for 20 years! For years Bulger ruled the South Boston gang with violence, including a number of murders - the number being something like 30. The dooshbag avoided prosecution for many years by informing to the FBI on Italian crime family activities. This also lets you know what kinda scumbags the FBI can be, don't it?

In 1994 Whitney learned he was about to be prosecuted and went on the run. Whitney then spent 16 years on America's most wanted list, often as the No. 2 behind Osama bin Laden. In 2011 Bulger was arrested in the US and convicted on long list of charges, including murder, and sentenced to life in prison. He was thankfully killed by a number of his 'fellow inmates' in prison in 2018.

Ever own a pair of Haggar slacks?

The have always been known for being comfortable, right?

Well, this guy liked 'em...

Years ago, audio surfaced of then-President Lyndon Johnson demanding that a tailor named Haggar  (yup - that Haggar) alter his pants so that they could accommodate his balls, which droop down near, in Johnson's words, his "bunghole." The size of Johnson's Johnson is the stuff of legend evidently.

This five year old kid from Africa is touted as 'the most beautiful girl in the world'.

Five-year-old Jare, a kid from Nigeria, has "set the internet on fire" with her striking looks and has been crowned the ‘most beautiful girl in the world’ - probably by some jerkoff you never heard of and whom you'd probably smack the living fuck out of given the chance. 

Her photos have put people into a "frenzy" over her smooth, un-photoshopped skin and luxurious hair, with comments about how “absolutely stunning” and “doll-like” she is. Jare’s new fame is thanks to lifestyle-and-wedding photographer, Mofe Bamuyiwa, who captured and shared three portraits of the girl on social media for a project, writing “Oh yes she’s human! She’s also an angel! 

Wudda buncha jerkoffs. How do they come up with shit like this?
