    Strange But True

    IN the 1400s, a law was set forth that a man was not allowed to beat his wife with a stick any 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 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 for the US Treasury.

    Men can read smaller print than women can, but women can hear better.

    It is impossible to lick your own elbow. (Disputable, I Know)

    Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair.

    The first novel ever written on a typewriter was 'Tom Sawyer'.

    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 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.

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

    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 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 the calendar was lunar-based, this period was called the honey month, which we know today as the 'honeymoon'.

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

    lol I tried licking my elbow (as far as I remember, first time I've ever tried).
    I can tie a snake and a cherry stalk into a knot with my tongue (I did once succeed in putting 2 knots in a cherry stalk). I don't know if that makes me a good kisser or being a good kisser makes me able to do that.

    Yeah, most of you know what I'm talking about kissing... for those that don't, it's the set of lips that isn't on your face.
