There is no such thing as a white horse.The double white gene in horses is fatal.
There is a grey horse gene though.
So all white horses are, in fact, grey! |

Also on pewter, whisky reacts with pewter to form a poison that renders the drinker into a coma, convincing death like state.
Many people were buried thought dead because of this (moved coffins were found with scratches on the lid) and so the practice of placing the deceased in an open coffin for several days to see if they would 'wake' started. Thus came the wake. |

There used to be no word for the color orange.
Oranges existed of course but the name of the color came later. That is why it's a red red robin when it is clearly not red. |

Houses had dirt floors, and in the kitchen people placed thresh on the floor (straw).
However of course the thresh blew all over when the door was opened, and so a piece of wood was placed across the door at the bottom to hold the thresh in, aka the threshold. |

That's not true, he was a carpenter but he read for the part when an actor didn't turn up. Lucas knew he was an actor as he'd appeared in another film for him |

The size of your foot is the same size as the inside of your arm elbow to wrist.
If you hold your arms out to the side and measure from tip of your middle finger all the way to your other middle finger it will be the same as of you measured from head to toe.
It is impossible to lick your elbow.
The only part of your body that is same size from birth and doesn't grow is your eye balls.
No one's ears are perfectly level.
You can't sneeze with your eyes open. |

In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything had to be Transported by ship and it was also before the invention of commercial Fertilizers, so large shipments of manure were quite common. It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when Wet, but once water (at sea) hit it, not only did it become heavier, But the process of fermentation began again, of which a byproduct is Methane gas of course. As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles You can see what could (and did) happen. Methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone came Below at night with a lantern, BOOOOM! Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was determined Just what was happening
After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the Instruction ' Stow high in transit ' on them, which meant for the Sailors to stow it high enough off the lower decks so that any water That came into the hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start The production of methane.
Thus evolved the term ' S.H.I.T ' , (Stow High In Transit) which has Come down through the centuries and is in use to this very day. |

Yes if they catch it early they can either give them laxatives to help whatever it is pass through or if there is a necrotic patch (often from a twisted bowel they can sometimes remove the dead intestine and sew it back together. |

You would think the other male wasps would have noticed their mates kept dying after shagging a female? (unless wasps shag in private? ? ) and I thought wasps were clever! Just the female wasps clearly! |

Cats are dopey. I just heard meowing and realised cat must have gone in my garage when I mowed the lawn last night. Has been in there all night. Now I've had to go out in my dressing gown and scare the neighbours. |

"Harrison Ford was a carpenter. Here was offered the party of Han Solo when he turned up at George Lucas office to fix a problem with the office door.
He had already appeared in American Graffiti by then, it is true about him being a carpenter though "
Was he Karen or richard ? |

"On the old cruise liners 1st class cabins were always on the left because they offered the best views, so anyone who bought a 1st class ticket had port out starboard home on their tickets, this was shorted to p.o.s.h, this is where the term posh comes from, "
Not actually true; though a common theory; mainly because travellers to Indua seldom booked both an outward and return trip at the same time , and this explanation first surfaced in the 1930s, but the word posh had been in common usage since the 1850s to mean a rich person, and since at least the 1700s when it was just a slang for money.
So most likely comes from a Romany word " posh-houri", which meant halfpenny ; the word posh became the word for money. " He has a lot of posh"......

If it doesn't exist, how did you manage to write it?  |

When the typewriter was invented, the layout of the keys were deliberately put in the QWERTY layout we are familiar with today to slow typists down by spacing the popular keys further away from each other. When a key was pressed, an arm would swing forward towards the paper and the letter shape at the end would hit the ribbon against the paper. Typists got too fast, causing a jam when too many letter arms would collide. |

Octopuses are alien.
His Little Wrinkly is the end of one of his arms, and he pokes it up one of her nostrils. He has to do this very carefully, because if he puts a foot wrong, she will gobble him up.

Octopii "
The standard plural in English of octopus is octopuses. However, the word octopus comes from Greek and the Greek plural form octopodes is still occasionally used. The plural form octopi, formed according to rules for some Latin plurals, is incorrect. |

"In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything had to be Transported by ship and it was also before the invention of commercial Fertilizers, so large shipments of manure were quite common. It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when Wet, but once water (at sea) hit it, not only did it become heavier, But the process of fermentation began again, of which a byproduct is Methane gas of course. As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles You can see what could (and did) happen. Methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone came Below at night with a lantern, BOOOOM! Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was determined Just what was happening
After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the Instruction ' Stow high in transit ' on them, which meant for the Sailors to stow it high enough off the lower decks so that any water That came into the hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start The production of methane.
Thus evolved the term ' S.H.I.T ' , (Stow High In Transit) which has Come down through the centuries and is in use to this very day. "

When you look at the stars on a night you are seeing the past, it takes time for the light of a star to reach earth. If there is another civilization out there in the cosmos and they study our sun, they seeing the past and not now. |
