They hold the world record for most tattooed seniors. 


I bet you wished your grandparents were as cool as them! Meet Charlotte Guttenberg and Charles Helmke from Florida. They have a few Guinness World Records under their belts. 

They met while Charlotte was at a tattoo parlor getting some work, and he helped her out by holding her hand. 

They’ve been together ever since, and they have become a lovely sight to behold. Charlotte started her tattoo journey when she was in her 50s after her husband, who didn’t fancy her getting tattoos, passed away. As soon as she got her first tattoo, she knew that she wanted to cover her whole body. 

Now, Charlotte has 98.75% of her body covered with Japanese-inspired tattoos. Because of it, she has the record for being the most tattooed female senior citizen, the most tattooed woman ever, the most tattooed woman living, and the most feathers tattooed on the body, with 216. Her partner Charles has a few records himself, with 97.5% of his body covered in tattoos. 

He is also the most tattooed male senior, plus the most skulls tattooed on the body with 376. They stop to compliment and judge. Nevertheless, the couple sure loves the attention of having so much art on their bodies.  

I'm sorry ... this is a bit much.  But, then again, I don't even have one tattoo.  Who else can say the same?

A great story about a little bit of 'humanity' during a terrible war.

A great story about a little bit of 'humanity' during a terrible war.                                                                                      In April 1945, 2nd Lt. Peter During was a South African fighter pilot (N.7 Squadron) running missions over Italy when his Spitfire was shot down by German AA fire. He managed to crash land his plane behind enemy lines where he was immediately captured.   Whilst been escorted to a German Lufwaffe Prisoner of War (POW) camp (he was a pilot and thus his interrogation and imprisonment was the responsibility of the German airforce), he opened a conversation with his captors. He was quickly able to establish that they could already see the writing on the wall, that the war was at an end and Germany would lose it. ...

French woman accused of sleeping with Germans during the occupation has her head shaved by vindictive neighbors in village near Marseilles.

French woman accused of sleeping with Germans during the occupation has her head shaved by vindictive neighbors in village near Marseilles.  Antony Beevor wrote: "... In Paris, there were cases of prostitutes kicked to death for having accepted German soldiers as clients. (...) A large number of the victims were prostitutes who had simply plied their trade with Germans as well as Frenchmen, although in some areas it was accepted that their conduct was professional rather than political, others were silly teenagers who had associated with German soldiers out of bravado or boredom.  In a number of cases, female schoolteachers who, living alone, had German soldiers billeted on them, were falsely denounced for having been a "mattress for the boches. (...) Women accused of having had an abortion were also assumed to have consorted with Germans.  Many victims were young mothers, whose husbands were in German prisoner-of-war camps. During the war, they often had no means of supp...

After the end of world war 2,this letter was found in nazi concentration.

After the end of world war 2,this letter was found in nazi concentration camp,which contains following message adressing the teachers.  Dear Teacher, I am a survivor of a concentration camp. My eyes saw what no man should witness: Gas chambers built by learned engineers. Children poisoned by educated physicians. Infants killed by trained nurses. Women and babies shot and burned by high school and college graduates. So, I am suspicious of education. My request is: Help your students become human. Your efforts must never produce learned monsters, skilled psychopaths, educated illeterates. Reading, writing, arithmetic are important only if they serve to make our children more humane. Don't forget to leave your thoughts in the comment section below.
