    Default Interesting Facts......

    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"......

    LOL! Depends on the woman....... Just Kidding.

    How about this one:

    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"

    Are you sure about that? Cuz I read that printing press apprentices would always get the "p" press and the "q" press mixed up, and therefore mess up the print.
    So the masters always said "Mind your P's and Q's" as not to get them mixed up.

    Its illegal in a city in [can't remember exact city] Kansas to sleep naked. I guess it would cost to much money to bypass it, so one enforces it!

    "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" uses every letter in the english alphabet.

    Speaking of alphabet, the word alphabet is derived from the Greek words Alpha and Beta.

    Ambrose Everett Burnside was a Union Army General during the American Civil War. Burnside was noted for his unusual facial hair, joining strips of hair in front of his ears to his mustache, but with chin clean-shaven; the word burnsides was coined to describe this style. The syllables were later reversed to give Sideburns

    Since this is Friday the 13th, here's something positive about the number 13...
    in merrie olde England, breadmakers got into big trouble if they shorted their customers who ordered 12 rolls . . . so they got an idea of sticking an extra roll into the customers' orders...

    THUS: "THE BAKER'S DOZEN!"

    The usage of the term "Give someone the cold shoulder" came from an old english tradition of having roasts at dinner parties. If the host however did not like a guest, they were given a cold cut of the shoulder of the roast.

    In Arkansas it is legal (not sure if it is still) for a man to beat his wife, but not more than once a month.

    In Florida, if an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle.

    In Texas, when two trains meet each other at a railroad crossing, each shall come to a full stop, and neither shall proceed until the other has gone. A recently passed anticrime law requires criminals to give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and to explain the nature of the crime to be committed. and finally or the texans, Homosexual behavior is a misdemeanor offense. - I want to know what constitues "Homosexual Behaviour"?
