Useless fact of the day:

For every memorial statue with a person on a horse, if the 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 of battle wounds; if all four of the horse’s legs are on the ground, the person died of natural causes

You ought to try Chicago at rush hour on Friday evening of a holiday weekend. I had a little 4 cyl. Ranger pickup at the time. I needed a Sherman tank.

The shortest "spance of time", known to man, is when you are sitting at a red light in NY City ,the light turns green and the car behind you blows his horn.

According to an article in the Reader's Digest, Snopes is owned and operated by a husband/wife team & they run it from their mobile home outside of Los Angeles.

I've been using Snopes for years. They've forgotten more about research than most of us will ever know. I've even been able to debunk a few medical myths that my patients thought were solid fact. Not that they believed me, you understand, just that I was able to do it.

(IIRC) there are no clocks in the Alantic City casinos. No windows either!!!
We were just there for 4 days this past weekend!!!

Hey guys, I was dragged out of the house yesterday, and we ended up at the outlet mall..NOT!!! But I did come up with something cool, they put in a Disney character outlet, and they have some pretty cool stuff.

For us campers, they have some really cool hanging stars and stripes mickey heads (bout 12" round with round ears)

They also have the mickey outline lighted lawn ornaments both the xmas and the Halloween ones. These are the ones that are kinda rope lights in the outline of mickey, and they are all really cheap, so if anyone is looking for stuff like this, let me know, we can work something out.

If all 4 of the horses legs are in the air, the horse died in battle.

If all 4 of the horses legs are in the air, the horse died in battle.

But what would be holding the horse up???.... oh never mind
