Clans of long ago that wanted to get rid of unwanted people without killing them used to burn their houses down -- hence the expression "to get fired"

The term "thug" is originally derived from the Indian (India) cult "Thuggie" which is credited with over 2 million murders.

Along those same lines, someone tried to convince me a few years back that anyone who actually watches a game live on TV or in person is a moron. He said he DVR's every game, and literally watches the entire game in 15-20 minutes tops. Where do they find these people?

Elephants are the only mammal that can't jump.
Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

Hitler dated 3 women during his reign. All 3 tried to commit suicide. 1 was his neice. Her and another were successful in their attempts.
1 nut, and all his gf's tried killing themselves. No wonder he tried to take over the world. He had a lot to compensate for!

The Soviet Union (under Joseph Stalin) tried multiple times to create a "super soldier" by making a half-man, half-ape. Ironically enough this "should" have been possible except humans have a genetic anomaly where our 2nd and 3rd chromosomes somehow fused together leaving us with only 23 chromosomes, while great-apes have 24.
The fusing of chromosomes in any species can only be done in a laboratory as no disease or natural genetic condition has ever caused the altering of any species genetic structure.
I gave you all a 2-fer! ;)

In Germany, if you are ordering a "pepperoni pizza," you will actually get a pizza with green peppers on it. I found this out the hard way. :/
