According to the Cambridge Dictionary, the word ‘gambit’ is defined as ‘a clever action in a situation that is intended to achieve an advantage that usually involves taking a risk’.

During Operation Acid Gambit, a disastrous rescue mission that was only supposed to take four and a half minutes and be one of the opening operations of the 1989 US invasion of Panama, Delta Force found themselves in a situation so sticky that it was sheer luck, rather than tactical gambits, that got them out alive.

However, while some people tried to cure the plague by punishing others, some tried to cure it by punishing themselves.

During the 19th Century the Scottish capital of Edinburgh was leading the way in medical advancements.
None more so than in the study of the anatomy of the human body, but this in turn lead to a severe shortage of corpses for teaching and research purposes.
But for Burke and Hare this was a money making opportunity..

The idea behind the Volkswagen, or “people’s car,” was initially conceived in the early 1930’s, before ultimately coming to fruition by the outbreak of the Second World War. Adolf Hitler, the Fuhrer of Nazi Germany, commissioned a vehicle that would be affordable, practical, and most important of all, available to every member of society in the ‘Grossdeutschland’. The general production of the Volkswagen ultimately stalled during the Second World War, however, as the Third Reich was forced to mobilise its national industries in order to keep up with the demands of their military efforts.

Since the beginning of civilization, humans have been inventing tools and weapons. From flint axe and spear heads in the Stone Age to nuclear weapons in modern times, mankind has continually tried to improve and build new weapons that would give them an advantage over their enemies on the battlefield. The introduction of firearms marked the beginning of the most exciting chapter in the history of weapons. During this period, there were a lot of guns that were to be iconic of their era. But, on the other hand, there were more than enough guns that carried the title of the worst contraptions in history. This is the story of five of the top worst guns.
