I suspect that a lot of us have similar stories, we just don't know about them because we haven't done our own geneology. Also, the UK is significantly smaller yet more 'historic' in the near-past than the US is, they had the largest city in the world just 100+ years ago AND the first industrial revolution, just a lot of people doing a lot of firsts at the time in memory of being able to look it up, but it not be totally mundane. Yes there were famous firsts in US history in the recent past, but if they took place in New York or LA, that's still states away, whereas in the UK you could go to the next town or even investigate your own and have a pretty good chance of uncovering someone from your family.

Fabio incident was at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Va. The ride was the Loch Ness Monster, and the goose flew into his face on the first big drop on the way down. There was a picture in the Daily Press that printed the still photo of the impact. I lived in the area at that time. :)

R.E. National lottery number selections. A couple of years ago the numbers selected were 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42. Thousands of people thought they had won millions but ended up with a couple of hundred quid and people who had won with 4 or 5 numbers got a smaller payout than those who got three numbers, because the £30 prize was fixed.

I have had an amazing thought. 10.24. if thats true then just sharing cells with someone can change the make up of yours, and vice versa. If memory "could" reside in cells then which cells? Swap them and you can have new memories ... Its also occurred to me that this is already happening all the time , hence ideas pop into your head from nowhere. Maybe somebody else had it and you swapped cells. Its evolutions way of getting ideas enacted?. The "idea" is flying around until it finds someone who actually does it.

I wish people would not use double negatives such as "weren't never" which, when you expand the contraction, is "were not never" and would end their fucking sentence with a full stop. Trans is not a Greek prefix (all actual phobias usually have a Greek prefix), ergo transphobia cannot be a phobia. The very simple reason being that disagreement with, or non-acceptance of, a gender identity is in no way an irrational fear! On the other hand, anal retention is a very serious issue for some people.

The original rationale has been buried by the Christian Church hell-bent on burying the pre-Christian origin of Christian beliefs..

@@StubbyandShifu yes, she did read out the Encyclopedia Britannica definition, which is wrong, for the reason i gave, which - to repeat - is that the reason was not the arithmetical convenience of abstract factorisation, which is an Rs about face way of looking at it. The numbers 5 and 12 are part of the equation, but the Sumerians' (from whom the Babylonians got their ideas) key reason for choosing 60 is the arithmetical relationship between their observations of the number of heartbeats in a day and the number of months in a year. Of course, they fiddled the numbers to fit their theory, like all three wise men do 😀
