2long Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 There's no need to give information to show off your intellect, or comment on each others posts. Just enter a fact that you know and others might not. The best posts will be those that can help people. My start; Did you know that there's no need to type www. at the start of most websites? Some Thai websites, UBCTV for example, seem to need it, but most don't. There's four keys fewer to press ffrom now on. Did you know that the "ok" button on your ubc remote control pauses the picture (but not the sound or program)? I'm not sure how useful this is, unless you're watching a dirty movie or debatable piece of sports action, but there you are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Croc Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Did you know if a statue in a park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

libya 115 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 If you get a Trebor 'extra strong mint' and snap it or crush it in a very dark room, when your eyes have already adjusted to the dark, it will glow a curious luminous green colour.

AlexLah Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 The can opener was invented 48 years after cans were introduced Cans were opened with a hammer and chisel before the advent of can openers. The tin cannister, or can, was invented in 1810 by a Londoner, Peter Durand. The year before, French confectioner, Nicolas Appert, had introduced the method of canning food (as it became known) by sealing the food tightly inside a glass bottle or jar and then heating it. He could not explain why the food stayed fresh but his bright idea won him the 12,000-francs prize that Napoleon offered in 1795 for preserving food. Durand supplied the Royal Navy with canned heat-preserved food while Appert would help Napoleon's army march on its stomach. Tin canning was not widely adopted until 1846, when a method was invented to increase can production from 6 in an hour to 60. Still, there were no can openers yet and the products labels would read: "cut around on the top near to outer edge with a chisel and hammer." The can opener was invented in 1858 by American Ezra Warnet. There also is a claim that Englishman Robert Yeates invented the can opener in 1855. But the can opener did not become popular until, ten years later, it was given away for free with canned beef. The well-known wheel-style opener was invented in 1925. Beer in a can was launched in 1935. The easy-open can lid was invented by Ermal Cleon Fraze in 1959. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkok Barry Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Many years ago in Scotland, a new game was invented. It was ruled "Gentlemen Only...Ladies Forbidden"...and thus the word GOLF entered into the English language. In England in the 1400's a law was set forth that a man was not allowed to beat his wife with a stick if it was thicker than his thumb. Hence we have "the rule of thumb" In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase......... "goodnight, sleep tight," evolved. It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his new son-in-law with all the "mead" he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month ..... which we know today as the honeymoon. In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts.... During the old days in England, when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them to "Mind your pints and quarts" to get them to settle down. .... This is where we today get the phrase "mind your P's and Q's". Many years ago in England, pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim, or handle, of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill, they used the whistle to get some service. The phrase "wet your whistle" evolved from this practice. The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time TV were Fred and Wilma Flintstone. Every day more money is printed for Monopoly than the US Treasury. Men can read smaller print than women can; women can hear better. Coca-Cola was originally green. It is impossible to lick your elbow. The State with the highest percentage of people who walk to work is Alaska. The percentage of Africa that is wilderness: 28%..... Now get this...... The percentage of North America that is wilderness: 38% The cost of raising a medium-size dog to the age of eleven: $6,400 Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair. The first novel ever written on a typewriter: Tom Sawyer. If a statue in the park, of a person on a horse has: Both front legs in the air, the person died in battle ... If the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle ... If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes. Q. Half of all Americans live within 50 miles of what? .... A. Their birthplace. Q. If you were to spell out numbers, how far would you have to go until you would find the letter "A"? .... A. One thousand. Q. What do bulletproof vests, fire escapes, windshield wipers, and laser printers all have in common? .... A. They were ALL invented by women. Q. What is the only food that doesn't spoil? .... A. Honey >~~~~~~~~~AND FINALLY~~~~~~~~~ At least 75% of people who read this ................ will try to lick their elbow.

libya 115 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 If you eat a whole durian then drink a whole 70cl bottle of Mekong you will die an unpleasant death. The core body temperature increases to 108 degrees F and death by gastro-intestinal swelling exacerbated by heat stroke follows in just a few hours.

libya 115 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Why do farts 'follow the farter'? Years of scientific research by Dr. Rick Tumm has dicovered the reason for this phenomenon, in which one tries to 'run-away' from a silent, yet deadly emission, with the fart still 'clinging' to the instigator. The reason is: That the turbulence that follows in the wake of the moving person, the fart then 'slip-streams' and is actually pulled along in the farters direction by the air currents behind the person.
