Pushups For Puddles Day.

I bet you didn't know that John Milton wrote Paradise Lost sixteen years after losing his eyesight

Puddles is the name of The Oregon Duck Mascot. He is such a spitting image for Donald Duck that for years Oregon had to receive permission from Disney to use the mascot, which Disney graciously gave and in the last year or two gave Oregon the rights to the mascot. Every game this year whenever the Oregon Ducks score, Puddles does pushups. If the Ducks score seven points he does seven points, if they score again and the total is fourteen points he does fourteen pushups. This year he has done thousands of pushups since the Ducks almost fifty points a game. I am declaring this Pushups For Puddles Day on the blog.

Comment at will.

WHO AM I

I was born in 1858. My family had a tradition of radical politics and I stepped into that mould becoming a passionate campaigner for women's right to vote. I married a dude who supported the women's suffrage movement. After his death I threw myself into the women's suffrage movement forming the Women's Franchise league in 1898. In 1903 I formed the more militant Women's Social and Political Union. It was through the WSPU that the political action gained the group the term women's suffragette movement. I led a passionate group of women who were willing to take part in drastic action such as tying to railings, smashing windows and launching demonstrations. The government and establishment were somewhat shocked at the tactics we used and many of us were arrested. When we went on a hunger strike they were forced to feed or release us only to be rearrested - something known as cat and mouse. When WWI broke out I used my campaigning tactics to support the war effort - announcing a temporary truce in the women's suffrage campaign. In the war effort women were drafted into factories and took on many jobs previously the preserve of men such as bus drivers and postmen. The radical social change of the first world war helped to diminish the opposition to women getting the vote. In 1918, women over the age of 30 were given the vote and in 1929, the voting age for women was reduced to the same age as men. I died shortly after my life's goal was achieved. If you search two organizations you may be able to answer the question, Who Am I?
