Interesting Trivia


Hagar

Recommended Posts

Being as my daughter describes me (and my son) as a walking encyclopedia of useless knowledge, I've started this thread so we could bore each other.  We did this a few years back, but we'll start again.  I forget who's quote this is, although I just read it several days ago, but it's worth sharing.

If you think an Apache doesn't know right from wrong, you wrong him and see what happens.

 

Gentlemen, the floor is yours.

@baddog In many cars, the Driver side wiper hits the far left edge of the windshield where it meets the "A" pillar.  The Passenger side stops in the middle of the windshield before returning to the lowered position.

Total guess.

Has to be a guess. Neither of my wipers hit anything. Sounded good though.

If you are curious about who loves you more, your dog or your wife, lock them both in the trunk of your car for two hours. When you open it up, guess which one will be glad to see you. (Can't remember author).

Be one less conservative poster on the Political Thread.

Classic!

Just read this to my wife.  She said she would beat the he*" out of me.  

My wife said my dog would die from a panic attack and that I wouldn't want to open that trunk. She says she would have already escaped and be sneaking up behind me when I opened it. I don't think I will try it.

How come the driver's side windshield wiper wears out before the passenger side?

Speaking of wipers, how can they make a tire that'll last 60 or 70 thousand miles going over rough, hot, roads, but a wiper hardly lasts a year?

Here's some trivia.  Most of you've heard the expression, "Play it again Sam", from the movie Casablanca.  He never actually said that line in the show.  He made Sam play it though.

An opinion relative to that movie, Ingrid Bergman in that picture was about as pretty as any women I've ever laid eyes on.  Not to be repeated to Mrs Reb :)

    • Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level. 
    • I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an easy and obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
    • @CIS_org National Security Senior Fellow @BensmanTodd tells Steve Bannon how the U.S. State Department and USAID have been sending American taxpayer funds to religious nonprofits to facilitate mass immigration to our southern border. Bensman says 248 nonprofits are participating in the United Nations’ 2024 agenda to distribute $1.6 billion in cash, transportation, food, and shelter to U.S.-bound immigrants across Mexico and Latin America.
