17 were lost in combat during Vietnam, most to surface-to-air missiles, one to a MiG-17. In return, three B-52's shot down MiG-21s with their tailguns.One interesting fact about the B52 Stratofortress, not one of them has ever been lost in enemy combat.
"In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that bromelain exhibits various fibrinolytic, antiedematous, antithrombotic, and anti-inflammatory activities. Bromelain is considerably absorbable in the body without losing its proteolytic activity and without producing any major side effects. Bromelain accounts for many therapeutic benefits like the treatment of angina pectoris, bronchitis, sinusitis, surgical trauma, and thrombophlebitis, debridement of wounds, and enhanced absorption of drugs, particularly antibiotics. It also relieves osteoarthritis, diarrhea, and various cardiovascular disorders. Bromelain also possesses some anticancerous activities and promotes apoptotic cell death."

Yes it does. My mother used to own mallard ducks (my idiot sister bought them for her, thinking they'd be great with the chickens) and our land had a gulley with a creek bed at the bottom. Those stupid bastards quacked all day and all night, echoing off the hills and driving everyone nuts.A ducks quack does not echo
