They hold the world record for most tattooed seniors.

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?

THE TERRIBLE STORY OF LT. COL.RONALD SPEIRS.

 THE TERRIBLE STORY OF LT. COL.RONALD SPEIRS. Lt. Col. Ronald Speirs, one of the toughest soldiers in Easy Company (Band of Brothers) was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, April 20, 1920. His family moved to Boston, Mass, when he was 7. He enlisted in 1942 & trained as a paratrooper, becoming a platoon leader in Dog company and later company commander of Easy Company, both of 506th PIR, 101st Airborne.  In January 1945, when Easy Company's initial attack on the German-occupied town of Foy bogged down due to the commander 1st Lieutenant Norman Dike, being wounded, battalion executive officer Captain Richard Winters ordered Speirs to relieve Dike of command. The selection of Speirs was incidental; Winters later stated that Speirs was simply the first officer he saw when he turned around. Speirs successfully took over the assault and led Easy Company to victory. During this battle, Lt. Dike had ordered a platoon to go on a flanking mission around the rear of the town. To countermand th

femina agabbadòra hammer

“In Sardinia, the use of the "femina agabbadòra hammer" was a women's practice.  Whenever an elderly man or woman of a given family was dying and in great pain, the family would call for the Accabadòra or Lady of the Good Death.  She would usually be a widow dressed entirely in black, who likely inherited her role from her own mother or grandmother. The title Accabadora means "She is the One Who Ends." She arrives with a large hammer of carved olive wood wrapped in heavy wool, and is left alone with the individual who may yet be screaming in agony and terror. A witness testimonial of the practice translates: "It was dark. The room was illuminated by a single wick in mastic oil.  The Accabadòra entered the house -- the door had been left open for her. She passed no one as she enters her patient's room at at the bedside.  "She caressed the face of the dying person, chanted the rosary, sang one of the many lullabies usually sung to children.

US executes first woman Lisa Montgomery on federal death row in nearly 70 years.

US executes first woman Lisa Montgomery on federal death row in nearly 70 years. Montgomery was the first female prisoner to be executed in by the US government since 1953. Montgomery, 52, was put to death by lethal injection of pentobarbital. The US government executed convicted murderer Lisa Montgomery, the only woman on federal death row, on Wednesday, after the Supreme Court cleared the last hurdle by overturning a stay. Challenges were fought across multiple federal courts on whether to allow the execution of Montgomery, 52, who was put to death by lethal injection of pentobarbital, a powerful barbiturate in the Justice Department`s execution chamber at its prison in Terre Haute, Indiana. The U.S. Supreme Court, with its conservative majority, cleared the way for her execution after overturning a stay by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Kelley Henry, Montgomery`s lawyer, called the execution "vicious, unlawful, and unnecessary exercise of authoritarian power." &quo
