I found this on amusingfacts.com.
During World War II, Russians used dogs strapped with explosives to blow up German tanks. They trained the dogs to associate the tanks with food and ended up destroying about 25 German tanks using this method.


Share your amusing and pointless facts here.

On that reckoning I've already been dead for 10 years. ::)

Yes  - only it's spelled Frankfurter. :P

I think anyone who knows me will tell you that this applies to me. Saves me plenty on electricity bills. LOL ;D
