Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

INTERESTING STUFF

 In the 1400's a law was
 set forth in England that a man was
 allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence
 we have 'the rule of
 thumb'

 -------------------------------------------

 Many years ago in
Scotland , a new game was
 invented. It was ruled 'Gentlemen Only...Ladies Forbidden'...and thus
 the word GOLF entered into the English
 language.

 -------------------------------------------

 The first couple to be
 shown in bed together on prime time TV were Fred and Wilma
 Flintstone.

 -------------------------------------------

 Every day more money is
 printed for Monopoly than the U.S..
 Treasury.

 -------------------------------------------

 Men can read smaller
 print than women can; women can hear
 better.

 -------------------------------------------

 Coca-Cola was originally
 green.

 -------------------------------------------

 It is impossible to lick
 your elbow.

 -------------------------------------------

 
 Intelligent people have
 more zinc and copper in their
 hair.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

 The first novel ever
 written on a typewriter: Tom
 Sawyer.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

 The San Francisco
 Cable cars are the only mobile National
 Monuments.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Each king in a deck of
 playing cards represents a great king from
 history:
 
 Spades - King David Hearts - Charlemagne
 Clubs -Alexander, the Great Diamonds - Julius
 Caesar

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

 111,111,111 x
 111,111,111 =
 12,345,678,987,654,321
 
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

 If a statue in the park
 of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died
 in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air the person died as
 a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on
 the ground, the person died of natural
 causes.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Q.. Most boat owners
 name their boats. What is the most popular boat name
 requested?
 
 A.
 Obsession

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Q. If you were to spell
 out numbers, how far would you have to go until you would find the
 letter 'A'?
 
 A. One
 thousand

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 Q.
 What do bulletproof vests, fire escapes, windshield wipers, and laser
 printers all have in common?
 
 A. All were invented by
 women.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Q.
 What is the only food that doesn't spoil?
 
 A.
 Honey

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 In
 Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by
 ropes.
 
 When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened,
 making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase......... 'goodnight,
 sleep tight.'

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

 It
 was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a
 month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law
 with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their
 calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month, which
 we know today as the honeymoon.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

 In
 English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts... So in old
England , when customers got
 unruly, the bartender would yell at them 'Mind your pints and quarts,
 and settle down.'
 
 It's where we get the phrase 'mind your P's and
 Q's'

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Many
 years ago in England , pub frequenters had
 a whistle baked into the rim, or handle, of their ceramic cups. When
 they needed a refill, they used the whistle to get some service. 'Wet
 your whistle' is the phrase inspired by this
 practice.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

 At
 least 75% of people who read this will try to lick their
 elbow!

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now....
Don't
 delete this just because it looks weird.
Believe
 it or not, you can read it...
