CM's completely useless factoid thread.

In this city there is a law still on the books that makes it illegal to tether a horse to the curb on the north side of the street on Sundays. :eek:

One of my favorites....where I currently reside, Missionary is the only legal sexual position.

I've always wondered how they'd regulate that. :devil:

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK* Sex police open up!

*door is battered in after three seconds counted*

*husband and wife in a rather raucous "cowgirl" position, turned surprised to see three officers in riot gear burst into their room*

Husband: "WHAT THE ...?"

Wife: /Shriek in terror, trying to cover her chest with her arms/

Officer 1: "OK you two, thats enough. Coveryourselves while we read you your rights."

Officer 2: "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law"

Husband: "What are you doing? what law? What did we do?"

Officer 3: "You were having sex in a illegal position sir. Cowgirl, Woman on top, the sit and spin, you know what you were doing pervert."

Wife: "How'd you know? I'm not that loud!"

Officer 1: "Your neighbor across the street called in the tip line. You must have forgotten to close your blinds."

Husband: "That cow!!!"

Officer 2:" Look here sarge, there's handcuffs on the bed and a blindfold, and what looks like avibrator down here at the foot of the bed."

Officer 1:" Thats a 2712 and a 1492. Possibly even a 1494 too. You people disgust me."

*Husband and Wife are lead out in handcuffs and pajamas as Officer 2 finishes the Miranda rights. Officer 3 slips the vibe into his pocket and whistles as he walks out*

LMFAO! :D :D :kiss:
 
Camilla Parker-Bowles is a direct descendent of Edward VII's mistress (or one of them, at any rate). Evidently, some things do run in families. ;) :devil:
 
The last Stuart monarch was also the first sovereign of the United Kingdom: Queen Anne (1702-1714). So, yes, the very first ruler of Great Britain as such was a woman. ;) :D :)

Male lions sleep over 18 hours a day. They don't participate in hunts but always get the first bites when food is brought back.
What they do well though, is kill hyenas that would otherwise try to decimate the pack. It's basically their single job.

... The word "tarse" is a long-unused word for penis. The last time it was used, basically, was in 1646, in a poem by John Wilmot. He used it because it rhymed with "arse" :D
 
I love useless factoids!

Here's one...hmmmmmm!

A single coffee tree yields only one pound of roasted, ground coffee annually.
 
13 years before becoming a legally admittted state, Vermont abolished slavery- in 1777. It was not recognised as separate from New York until 1790, when it became the 14th state. So, in a sense, it was the first free state in the USA.
 
Oak trees do not have acorns until they are fifty years old or older.

*Did not know that!*
 
Henry VIII was originally intended to be a priest of the Roman Catholic Church, the very same church that he later took over. One can argue that he was especially prepared for his later role as head of both church and state. ;)
 
Hugs to CM! :) I love being called "darling", Darling...hee hee!

Here's a useless factoid that hits home...my 2nd cousin, Ralphie, had a similar situation for a while. It's been resolved for years though...last I knew. We don't talk about it much in the family...:eek:

The squirting cucumber (Ecballium elaterium), when brushed by a passerby, ejects its seeds and a stream of poisonous juice that stings the skin.

:devil:

The scientific name of rattlesnakes is Crotalus, derived from a Greek word. It means "castanet," a percussion instrument.

Well now....that makes sense! :)
 
The highest mountain in Florida is only 345 ft tall. It's the shortest "mountain" in the U.S and only qualifies as a hillock.

Yes, it's one of the more charming British expressions, wouldn't you say? :cool: :rose:
 
I'm a major fan of the film The Dogs of War and took the first part of my user name from the Christian name of the lead actor: Christopher Walken. :cool:
 
Koala bears are not bears, they're marsupials. They get the name "bear" because they remind people of the Teddy bear.

A cow will not cross a Cattle Guard (pic below) on a road although there is nothing to stop them. I don't know why.

They won't even cross one if it's a fake and only painted on the road. I think because they ain't too smart. :rolleyes:

Yep.

The same reason some horses have to be conditioned to walk through a puddle of water. They don't intrinsically know that there's a bottom to it (sounds dumb, I know, but think about it - we only know because of experience and logic), so in their minds, if they step in something like that, they're going to take a bad fall.

Some horses will walk over a cattleguard, but I've never seen one do it with anything but distaste.

I suspect there aren't a lot of people in the AH who have ever seen one, Sherry :D
