More Creedmoor facts:

1. Dipping an unfired Creedmoor cartridge into polluted water will make it drinkable and sweet tasting.

2. The mysterious, curative properties of the Creedmoor are being studied by scientists. There is mounting evidence that global warming, air pollution in China (and elsewhere), and even poor driving skills can be reduced or eliminated using Creedmoors.

3. Russia and China are trying to copy the Creedmoor cartridge in order to produce their own version. So far, they have been unsuccessful.

4. The strange disappearances of many people, including several celebrities, have been linked to the Creedmoor cartridge. A partial list includes Amelia Earhart, D.B. Cooper, and Jimmy Hoffa. They were directly involved in moving or distributing sample cartridges to influencial people and nations friendly to the US, as far back as the early 1900s. Ancient alien theorists have speculated that WWII might have been prevented had Amelia Earhart managed to deliver her Creedmoor cargo to Australia in 1937. Positioning the cartridges in Oz would have frightened Japan and they would not have attacked Pearl Harbor.

Australia has long been a staunch US ally. Theorists suggest that the loss of an unknown number Creedmoor cartridges and two rifles in the Asia-Pacific region resulted in one of the largest and most expensive search efforts ever mounted by the United States. Amelia Earhart is alleged to have had several crates of Creedmoor cartridges and two Stevens-Niedner rifles in her plane. They were to be delivered to the Australian government and used as a deterrent to the Japanese.

5. In the television show, Star Trek: The Next Generation, the phrase 'Resistance is futile' was actually stolen from the US ambassador's speech to the Emperor of Japan, prior to WWII. The phrase spoken by Joseph Grew to Hirohito was,

"Your Majesty, I regret that any action taken by Japan will result in much sorrow and loss of life. I implore you to walk the high road, or you will force the US into acting to protect its interests. Resistance is futile, Sir."

At the time, the Creedmoor was being studied by Dr. Robert Oppenheimer. From it, came the atomic bomb.
