That's great, I'll add it to my list of useful facts.

Here's another one: 1600, 2000, 2400 are leap years. 1700, 1800, 1900, 2100, 2200, 2300 are not leap years.
and another: September 1752 in the US, Canada and England had only 19 days. Other parts of the world switched in other years.

And one that I remember from MAD Magazine in 1961. It is the last "upside down year" for a long, long, time.

And Russia didn't swap until in the 1920's IIRC, been a long time since I studied Russian. That's why the October Revolution actually happened in Nov.

Did anybody see you doing that? :laughing:

He couldn't tell, his eyes were shut.

My cousin was born 6 months prematurely, he believed it for a few years.....
Was bad form in the early 50's

Fact I never knew. I needed a certified copy of my birth certificate, On it was a block to be checked "ligitimate Yes No. Mine is checked yes so I have definite proof that I am not the ******* that people call me.

<snert> Yeah, both my Mum & Dad were first-born 'premature' births (1930s).

It was amazing how fast people could count on their fingers as soon as a newly wed bears fruit.

The "old" math was remarkable in that regard.

FWIW...

Camelhair brushes are usually made from squirrel hair...

Catgut strings are not made from cat anything...usually sheep or donkey intestines...

Shameful and shameless mean the same thing...

Valuable and invaluable mean the same thing...

Rice paper is not made from rice...

Why do we park on driveways and drive on parkways...?

Cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny...

Powdered orange juice.
Powdered milk.
Baby powder?

Rice paper is usually made from the rice paper plant. But it can also be made from rice straw, and rice flour mixtures.

Mars bars don't come from Mars.
Echidnas have four penises (imagine deciding which one to use when at a urinal)

OK...So what was the little tree known as "The Rice Paper Plant" called before rice paper was invented?

 

[Industrial Toys]

Aren't Mars bars made by a pet food company or the other way around?
