    While I was in Afghanistan in 2011, the uncle and a Lt of then Afghan Border Patrol Colonel Abdul Razziq was killed by a suicide bomber while at his local barber shop in Spin Boldak. The building was a rectangular shaped brick/concrete structure with mirrors running the length of the building on both sides. More people were killed/injured by lacerations from flying glass than from the blast. There was a lot of blood.

    Also of note, most of the injuries during the Khobar Tower bombing were from broken glass.

    Leon Vitali, who was Stanley Kubrick’s right-hand man. There’s a documentary about him, I think it’s on Netflix.

    Former heavyweight boxer Earnie Shavers, who was regarded as one of the hardest hitting punchers in the history of the sport.

    Huh. Just read a little bit on him. So he taught Benny Hinn everything he knows.

    Yup. Pound for pound, his power was up there with Foreman and Julian Jackson.

    Shavers also auditioned for the role of Clubber Lang in Rocky III. During a sparring match with Stallone he was initially holding back, but after Stallone told him to punch him for real he did just that and Stallone had to go to the bathroom and vomit.

    Muhammad Ali also called Shavers the hardest puncher that he ever fought.

    Yep, was just thinking that. They're calling it "health concerns" but also their entire family is coming from around the globe to visit her. It's probably much more imminent than they're publicly saying for now.

    Some people in Internet Land are speculating that she's already dead, and they're waiting to announce it tomorrow - that way the morning period is over the weekend.

    BBC banners gone black, normal programming suspended until 6pm. That's right in line with their London Bridge protocol in case of her death, it's a whole thing.

    So the Queen met Liz Truss, realized this was Britain's new PM, and promptly died instead of carry on.

    We'll never see her kind again, and with any luck we'll never again need to.

    I hope King Charles realizes that no man should wait until they are almost 70 before beginning their life's work. I would like to see him rule for 10 years or so and then abdicate to William. Certainly it is a profound day in England.
