If you drink alcohol, you'll appreciate a Salty Dog. Vodka and grapefruit 
juice, salted rim, wedge of grapefruit as a garnish. There was a bar I used 
to go to in Oakland, CA called Cafe Van Kleef that would squeeze a half a 
grapefruit into your glass when they made it. Doesn't get any fresher than 
that.

I just read a story about the Germans building fake wooden airfields during 
WW II to draw off the Allied bombers. They made wooden vehicles, airplanes, 
hangars, and plowed a fake airfield.

The British waited until they were complete and dropped a wooden bomb on it.
