Every second, Americans collectively eat one hundred pounds of chocolate.

A person uses approximately fifty-seven sheets of toilet paper each day.

PIGS Have Been Used in Battle

In ancient times, if you were being attacked by war elephants the thing to do was to release the pigs. Elephants are distressed by the sound of pigs squealing. Attacks would be broken up as the pachyderms did anything to get away from the noisy porkers. Flaming pigs were also launched by catapult much like the Mongol use of flaming cats. It is of interest to note that the explosive charge loaded into naval guns is still referred to as "The Pig".

If someone wants to launch flaming pigs at me, all I can say is... bring on the BACON!!!  It's breakfast time!!! 


Seriously... what an awesome way to restock your supply line!  "Hey, lets go attack Hannibal in the morning!  He's just a couple of leagues from here, and he flings crispy bacon!"...

The term, "above board," today means someone who is honest and forthright.  Its origin comes from the days when pirates would masquerade as honest merchantmen, hiding most of their crew behind the bulwark (side of the ship on the upper deck).  They hid below the boards.

So, Ladyfae, I'm left-handed.  What are you trying to say?

I'm sure it's not that you're  fluffy and good at swimming.

Possibly that ...all southpaws are special (says the mom of a lefty).

It is against the law to mispronounce the name of the State of Arkansas in that State.

A barber is not to advertise prices in the State of Georgia.
