More proof the world runs on irony, and that it is HILARIOUS:

"Why are the men dodging so from single bullets?...They couldn't hit an elephant at this range." -COL Sedgwick RIGHT BEFORE HE WAS SHOT UNDER HIS LEFT EYE during the Civil War. On a side note, there's a legend that if you spin his spurs (they move) on his monument at West Point, in the middle of the night, before a big exam, you will ace it (or at least pass it with a C).
