Let's all learn a bit while hanging around at this mb; pick and post one 'did you know' from i'll start: "If you have three quarters, four dimes, and four pennies, you have $1.19. You also have the largest amount of money in coins without being able to make change for a dollar." |

Mustard was invented in the Smasmond Building on the American University campus. Additionally, preliminary work on the Second Manhattan Project is to be done in that building. The government used the Smasmond Building because of its phallic archtecture. If there would be any type of large explosion inside the building, the building would erupt, spraying litres of radioactive mustard on the campus. The building now houses the Dairy Science Department. |

"Studies show that if a cat falls off the seventh floor of a building it has about thirty percent less chance of surviving than a cat that falls off the twentieth floor. It supposedly takes about eight floors for the cat to realise what is occuring, relax and correct itself. At about that height it hits maximum speed and when it hits the ground it's rib cage absorbs most of the impact. So throw your cat off a building today!" [keanu]Whoa.[/keanu] |

The 'y' in signs reading "ye olde.." is properly pronounced with a 'th' sound, not 'y'. The "th" sound does not exist in Latin, so ancient Roman occupied (present day) England use the rune "thorn" to represent "th" sounds. With the advent of the printing press the character from the Roman alphabet which closest resembled thorn was the lower case "y". |
