Odds of 2 bullets colliding perpendicularly in a battlefield...

Well.....I once saw Chi Chi Rodriguez make two golfballs collide in the air 100 yrds away twice in a row and that was intentional. :)
btw: I barely consider golf a 'sport' yet still consider that to be the greatest single feat I've ever witnessed in sports.
I still remember that "WKRP in Cincinnati" episode when Les Nessman called him "Chy Chy Rodwigez". I think it was that same episode where he called chihuahuas "Chi hooah hooahs". Loved that show. As a bonus - never forget the episode where the boss decided to do a Thanksgiving promotion - by tossing 20 live turkeys out of a helicopter... "As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."
The turkey story reminds me of the time William Randolph Hearst had frozen turkeys thrown from a truck onto streets as a supposed program to 'feed the poor'.
After the photo session, the frozen turkeys were loaded back into the trucks and disappeared.
"As God is his witness, he thought that would fly."

LOL
.....and that was the last time Chi Chi hit two balls at the same time.....
thanks for the laugh.
You ought to try watching Bulgarian weight lifters do a clean and jerk of 400 lbs. You see it and you don't believe it. Then another Bulgarian comes up and does it again. You still don't believe it. I spent a whole day at the 1990 Goodwill Games in Spokane with my father and brothers watching this go on. It was totally captivating. Feats of Strength! I went home totally respecting Bulgarians.
And then the Bulgarian men took the stage...
(Sorry...just kidding...)
Should be called bulge-arians.
Not bad. But part of the amazement is that they look like mere mortals. Very muscular, of course, but mere mortals anyway.
Why don’t both bullets have grooves… The pierced bullet may have been in an ammo box etc when struck. Thoughts?
My thought exactly. Yes, the bullet on the bottom, pointing to the right, was either fired from a musket (just kidding) or was in an ammo box or magazine or otherwise not fired from a rifle.
Still a pretty neat pic.
I also find the physics of it to be impossible if both bullets were traveling at high speeds from the barrel of a gun...how would the one bullet have the time to penetrate into the side of the other bullet if that bullet is also traveling at high speed? Wouldn't it simply just knock the bullet off course and not go through it?
There's a lot of disinfo memes yo distract... This has been posted over the past two years
Good observation. I first saw this photo decades ago and many times since and I never thought to notice that.
Probably in the dirt,or on the ground when hit.
bullets colliding...yes Biden winning without cheating...Hell no
Our ANZACS would be mortified at the tyranny of our government and would stand with Australians fighting for our freedoms today. In a few days we Commemorate their bravery on ANZAC DAY. My Great Uncle is buried on Gallipoli. The British used our ANZACS as decoys as the Brits landed safely down the Dardanelles Peninsula. Our ANZACS never stood a chance. They were mowed down by the Turks as they got out of their boats and had to climb a sand embankment that went vertically up to where the enemy was positioned and firing down on them. My Uncle landed on the 11th May and died during a fierce battle at The Nek on 15th May. I grew in your memory a beautiful rose named ‘Gallipoli’ Uncle Stan which is in full bloom atm and is a reminder of your love of country and her freedoms. I shall pick a bunch and lay them at the Cenotaph and make this promise that I too will fight this tyranny on our soil as long as I live. Thank you for your service Uncle Stan. Lest We Forget.
Nice tribute. Thanks for sharing.
I hope their sacrifices were not in vain.
For real though the amount of munitions fired in ww1 is mind boggling and makes the odds seem like mathematicians are missing the point.
That is bad azz
Considering how many bullets there are, and how complex a battlefield is, the chance that you could actually calculate this probability is 1 in 999,762,887,321.
The chance that the denominator in this calculation's result is a multiple of 1000 is 7,000,000,002.5x Biden's chance of winning an unrigged election.
Chicago enters the chat.
What are the odds of that happening combined with the odds of someone actually finding the bullets. Astronomically higher!
