The township takes its name from Pee Pee Creek; which was so named when an early settler inscribed his initials P. P. on a tree along its banks.[5]

The 1948 World Series was the championship series in Major League Baseball for the 1948 season. The 45th edition of the World Series, it matched the American League (AL) champion Cleveland Indians and the National League (NL) champion Boston Braves. The Braves had won the National League pennant for the first time since the "Miracle Braves" team of 1914, while the Indians had spoiled a chance for the only all-Boston World Series by winning a one-game playoff against the Boston Red Sox for the American League flag.[1] Though superstar pitcher Bob Feller failed to win either of his two starts, the Indians won the Series in six games to capture their second championship (as well as their most recent) and their first since 1920.

It was the first World Series to be televised beyond the previous year's limited New York-Schenectady-Philadelphia-Baltimore-Washington network and was announced by famed sportcasters Red Barber, Tom Hussey (in Boston) and Van Patrick (in Cleveland).[2] This was the second appearance in the Fall Classic for both teams, with the Indians' lone previous appearance coming in a 1920 win against the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Braves' lone previous appearance coming in a 1914 win against the Philadelphia Athletics. Consequently, this was the first, and to date only, World Series in which both participating teams had previously played in, but not yet lost, a previous World Series. Currently, this phenomenon can only be repeated if the Miami Marlins or the Washington Nationals play against either the Toronto Blue Jays or the Los Angeles Angels in a future World Series. :jerkbag:

trick is to find a source for something (whatever, just a news article who cares), then delete the thing while using the source for the something you wanna add. thats a high quality edit

pro tip: make a small mistake in the <ref> (eg date/url formatting) because a bot will fix that and push your edit down

In one extreme instance of self-censorship, the team explored an urban legend stating that a widely available material could be used to create an explosive. To their surprise, the seemingly unlikely legend proved true, but the material was so easy to obtain, and the resulting explosion so powerful, that the production team decided allowing such information to reach the general public would be irresponsible, instead electing to destroy all footage of the experiment and agreeing never to speak of the incident.
:tinfoil:
a significant portion of wikipedia is The Anarchist's Cookbook for people who can pass organic chemistry, and there's a lot of stuff that's simpler than that. I'll refrain from posting weapons of mass destruction recipes, but if your bathroom and kitchen are clean enough that you invite guests over a second time and they actually want to visit, "oops, I mixed ammonia and bleach" is on the low end of the damage you could do. a few kinds of high explosives, hydrazine rocket fuel, chemical irritants, and with a quick trip to the garage you can make good old phosgene/mustard gas. The possibilities only expand if you have a pool. you open up a few more high explosives for easy mixing. Then you get into poo poo like people actually trying that one weird trick the BAFTE actually don't want you to know.
