SERVED HOT




USELESS


INFORMATION

1. 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"

(Nasty bit of info that. As an aside there is nothing funny about battered women. However there are a few Republican men I would love to use the rule of thumb on. Over and over again.)

2. 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.

( As a man I just find that embarrassing. I guess only men can put their balls in small holes, hopefully their own holes. )

3. The percentage of Africa that is wilderness: 28% (now get this...) The percentage of North America that is wilderness: 38%

(Personally I blame this fact totally on Canada, unless they count Downtown America as wilderness)

4. The cost of raising a medium-size dog to the age of eleven: $ 16,400

(If that figure is true my dogs must of all been Extra Large even the very small ones.)

5. Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair.

(With the cost of commodities soaring I'm going to start mining my hair immediately, Nov, 9 2008 or NOT!)

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

( I'm just taking a wild guess, would the second one of been Huckleberry Finn )

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

( Wow cable cars that you can use as cell phones...mobile! )

8. 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321

( ...and know The Great Houdini will answer a complex multiplication question. "You there in the front row, the one on my payroll what is your question and make it really hard!" )
