Yep ... would have been different if she had found a StG-44 (Sturmgewehr 44 practically the worlds first assault rifle)
Still not really historically significant to find one ... but they are very rare and sought after by weapons collectors nowadays and therefore would fetch you a very good price
(they were somewhat common at the end of the war, but AFAIK most of them were recycled for their metal in the years thereafter ... so only few of them nowadays remain ... although it is claimed that some of them actually still are used in militias all around the world)

I wonder if something like that has any historical significance?
About as much as an 75mm AP round from a M4 Sherman tank......Technically yes but, they were produced in such large numbers that i'm sure there are no shortage of Museum quality ones..

An American tourist caused the baggage hall and part of the arrivals hall at Vienna International Airport to be evacuated when she arrived with a World War II grenade.
An american tourist (60 yers old lady) went on Vacation to Austria. During their hiking tours she found an unused WW2 75mm grenade somewhere in the woods.
What did she do?
Well, of course she brought it "home" to her hotel room and cleaned it thoroughly (so that it wouldn't soil her luggage) ... and when it was time for her voyage home, she went to the customs counter of vienna airport, opened her bag adn asked if she could take her "little souvenir" with her in the plane
Needless to say that the airport hall was immediately evacuated and a bomb disposal squad had to come and determine that the bomb was a dud ... and that the lady faces a several k Euro fine
I am afraid most people are ****ing idiots about UXO. I used to pass out posters showing pictures of unexploded ordnance witg local language warnings to not touch them or pick them up but people usually would and some of them would go boom. Hell, even our translater, who had spe t months hansing these posters and warning carss out stupidly picked up a clusterbomblet.
Kid is more concerned about a few tears than the final verdict. What a moron. He's going down.
I would like to note that judges tend to be harder on the side which has a stronger case. This helps upon the inevitable appeal, in that it gives the judge plenty of examples where he or she did not play favorites with the winning side.
This morning, it was so obvious the judge apologized in front of the jury:
now that ypu said american tourists, it got me thinking. there is a brand that makes uitcases that it's called "american tourist" americans are frecking hated the world over why would ANYONE would want such a suitcase? That basically bans you from half the world... and it's a pity because they make really good suitcases

Perhaps that is another conspiracy theory spread by QAnon, that Donnie brought all white cops under white supremacist control and that therefore, if you are a white person getting arrested by white cops, you just have to mention your whiteness in order to get free
We didn’t suspend Alex Jones or Infowars yesterday. We know that’s hard for many but the reason is simple: he hasn’t violated our rules. We’ll enforce if he does. And we’ll continue to promote a healthy conversational environment by ensuring tweets aren’t artificially amplified.
That's hilarious. After the midterms are over? When they lose control of the House and possibly the Senate? Nunes own seat is in trouble... Andrew Janz is turning out to be a pretty strong challenger.
Seems like the senate can only do so much before the midterms ... and they had to prioritize to either work on the election of Kavanaugh as supreme judge, or on the impeachment of Rosenstein. Kavanaugh seems to be more important to them.
Also I guess they rightly they fear the negative impact that Rosensteins impeachment may have on the midterms (and therefore their own (re)elections
But you can do that elsewhere, with a larger group of clowns. Twitter. Facebook. Offtopic.com. You've exhausted the opportunities here... congratulations, you have successfully made the posters at Apolyton.net think you're an idiot, and you have successfully made your opinions of us well-known.
I don't buy the clown-show theory, not in the slightest. I do buy the mental disorder theory, and I do buy the theory that you get validation from coming here because so much of the OT's activity comes from you, responses to you, and discussions about you. "Kidiot" references abound in the moderation thread. Your threads here are the longest and most active. You have, in many ways, turned the OT into the Kidicious forum*... with a few sidebar discussions, true, but the majority of the activity centers upon you, and that is why you come here: to achieve the validation that you are unable to earn in your real-world life, where the vast, vast majority of the planet ignores you and the few that don't ignore you are either working with, or related to, you.
So you come here, where you aren't ignored and our words have no true consequence to your day-to-day life. Not to watch the clown show, but to be the ass you can't be in the real world and to watch how people respond. Safely. Virtually. Like a common internet coward.
Again, I don't think this is healthy... for you or the OT, but that's one persons opinion.
*Yes, I am "newish" here, but to a relative outsider it is shocking how much of the OT revolves around a single poster who is universally disliked. Not even Alexander's Horse or Agathon dominated the OT as you do... and they were nowhere near as disliked as you are, not even close. The best example I can come up with is Ming, but then again much of the reaction to him was in relation to his role as a moderator, not that people disliked him in general. People here... by your design and desire... detest you.
