I finally got my shit all together and I forgot where I put it.

I thought this pic was my old avatar with a punk gas mask.

The Greek national anthem is said to have 158 verses. Anyone know all of them?

Cadiz, Spain is one of the oldest, continually inhabitted cities in Spain and has a prison built near the bay. The more rowdy inmates where placed in the bottom floor of the prison. In case of a riot outbreak, the guards would simply open the flood gates to the basement. No more riot.

We touch are glasses when toasting a drink, so that all five of the senses take part.

Bookkeeper is the only word in the English language with three sets of double letters in a row.

If someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles to frown, but it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and whack them in the head.

Speaking of pigs - and I can't believe you brought it up - they are the only animal, besides humans, that can get a sun tan.

"stewardesses" is the longest word in the English language typed only with the left hand.

A 9' Steinway concert grand piano weighs 980lbs; 1400lbs when crated. I've never seen one get UPS'd.

The latest, known record for smashing a piano in the quickest time and passing it through a nine inch ring was set in 1968 by six men representing Ireland who did it in two minutes and twenty six seconds.

The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the naughty girls live.
