Helen of Annoy Posted April 17, 2013 #1051 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Schism of 1054 divided Christianity into Catholic and Orthodox Church. And believe it or not, my life is still a bit more complicated than it could be because of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ouija ouija Posted April 17, 2013 #1053 Share Posted April 17, 2013 1056 yeast is the starter for several classic American ales. 1056 is also the true date of the Battle of Hastings. The official recorder of events on the battlefield had the misfortune of his pencil snapping just as he wrote the '5' and the ensuing graphite splodge was interpretated as a '6' centuries later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen of Annoy Posted April 18, 2013 #1056 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Croatian king Petar Krešimir IV was crowned in 1059, but only after he and 12 of top noblemen (not to bother you with unpronounceable original titles) swore to the Pope he didn’t off his older brother. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ealdwita Posted April 18, 2013 #1057 Share Posted April 18, 2013 1060 - Henry I of France dies. 1056 is also the true date of the Battle of Hastings. The official recorder of events on the battlefield had the misfortune of his pencil snapping just as he wrote the '5' and the ensuing graphite splodge was interpretated as a '6' centuries later. Damn n' blast it! *Ealdwita begins the month-long task of updating all of his files, notes and records in the light of fresh information received about the Battle of Hastings. (Which didn't take place in Hastings either!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen of Annoy Posted April 18, 2013 #1060 Share Posted April 18, 2013 And the reason why no one knows about that is because Americans showed up in Hastings, the place where the Battle of Hastings didn’t took place. In 1063 river Thames was frozen for 14 weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen of Annoy Posted April 19, 2013 #1063 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) So the Battle of Hastings re-occurred on 14th October 1066, approximately 10 km (6 ¼ miles) northwest of Hastings. Maybe it was re-enactment, since the Americans arrived? Don’t look at me like that, I read that somewhere on the Internet ( ) so it must be true.

J. K. Posted April 19, 2013 #1064 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (Someone just forgot to wind their calendar. That happens all the time). Louisiana Highway 1067 (LA 1067) is a state highway in Louisiana that servesTangipahoa Parish. It spans 3.5 miles (5.6 km) in a southwest to northeast direction. It is known locally as Old Covington Highway, a designation which includes both the state-maintained LA 1067 and the locally maintained and unnumbered stretch on the same trajectory between LA 3158 (Airport Road) and US 51 Business in Hammond. The length of all of Old Covington Highway (both the unnumbered stretch and LA 1067 continuously) is exactly 6.0 miles (9.7 km). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you’d probably shoot yourself in the foot At least that’s what everyone always told me. Rule no. 1072 from thatonerule.com: Don’t be afraid to change.

+ouija ouija Posted April 20, 2013 #1070 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Okay, I just googled 1073 and copied out an amusing piece about a microphone preamp(don't ask!), then I thought it would be fun to add a dancing smiley. I went to Photobucket and my computer started to make a loud grinding noise and then coughed up a notice informing me that Internet Explorer had blocked the page 'to protect my computer' .............. what the? So 1073? The number of mini-tantrums I've had this year that are computer-related 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
