“Soaking,” “patching,” or “plugging” refers to an early method in baseball where a fielder could put a baserunner out by hitting them with a thrown ball instead of tagging them, similar to how players are put out in kickball.

The Beano T-13 grenade was an innovative hand grenade developed by the United States during World War II. Its unique design and engineering represented an ambitious attempt to create a more effective and user-friendly grenade. Although it never saw widespread use, the T-13 remains a notable example of military innovation.
