Little Known Facts (to diseducate future generations) updated Oct. 22, 2009

Cadence Clearwater Revival had a better beat than their rival revival. (Recently discovered recordings lend creedence to this claim.)

The last person to receive a pierced ear from a meteorite was Vera Williams in 1578. This was the fourth such occurrence of this phenomenon. All prior persons similarly struck were killed instantly.

No one has ever been crushed to death by a collapsed Winnie the Pooh umbrella. Update Oct. 22, 2009: Only one person has ever been crushed to death by a collapsed Winnie the Pooh umbrella.

Originally called the shit & spin, Alexander Cumming's new invention was renamed the flush toilet in 1775.

If we could combine nuclear missile technology with boomerang technology and leak it to our enemies, we could eliminate the need for a missile defense system altogether. (Forwarded in detail to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee)

Here’s another original idea for your consideration:
….never mind, I want to keep it original.

The modern stoplight was invented in 1921. After 2 years of gridlock the golight was invented in 1923.

The Fastest Gun in the West was owned by Slow Willie Johnson which ultimately turned out to be a bad pairing. A better pairing would have been the shrimp and cream sauce with a light French Chardonnay.

One of the eight preceding facts wasn’t actually a fact at all. If you noticed this you could be paying too much attention. To pay less attention glance away now.

If today is already in the toilet, simply flush your way into tomorrow.
Legal disclaimer: Side effects may include bad hair day and dizziness.

Qwurky:

oops, I finished reading that before I could find the Delete key.
I guess my reflexes just aren't what they used to be.

...or perhaps my reading speed is improving!

Moody: note, that that sentence had no period that could be, would be or should be delete-able.

Strange destiny, having to serve such a sentence, isn't it?
