Brody’s Weird West

Ol’ Brody’s been interested in weird goings-on ever since Hector was a pup (and Brody, too). As a kid I read Frank Edwards’ “nonfiction” stuff with glee. Weird hauntings and improbable things happening, like the story of a Revolutionary War battle being won when the fort ran out of shot and used stale cheese. Now, Brody’s trail biscuits are good for both breaking a tooth and being shot from a Sharps buffalo gun, but cheese?

In 1865 Uruguay and Brazil shot it out using cheese balls.

That hardly seems possible, but Mythbusters showed that it was.

Just between me and you, stick with lead.

It’s easier to clean the gun after shooting the bad guys.
