Wyrdlight Posted June 16, 2009 #126 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Not possible. Yep, they were the base sink speices for the Black Death aka, Bubonic plague that wiped out half of Europe's population and decimated most of Asia, North Africa and Europe in a succession of cyclic plagues. Marmots are the orginal hosts, thus the old Mongol tradtition of never aprocahing a dead Marmot and kiiing them on sight from a distence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rassy Posted June 17, 2009 #129 Share Posted June 17, 2009 For the sake of checking first, I just did an experiment with all three of my dogs, who happen to be three different breeds. I held their snout in place while I moved a cookie around over their head. They must all truly be wonder dogs since all three of them were able to look up.

karl 12 Posted November 7, 2009 Author #138 Share Posted November 7, 2009 According to U.K. law,a pregnant woman can urinate anywhere she wants in public - even in a policeman's helmet. Other silly British laws: * In Chester, you can only shoot a Welsh person with a bow and arrow inside the city walls and after midnight. * You may not shoot a Welsh person on Sunday with a longbow in the Cathedral Close in Hereford. * In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless in public except as a clerk in a tropical fish store. * In York, excluding Sundays, it is perfectly legal to shoot a Scotsman with a bow and arrow. * Committing suicide is classified as a capital crime. * Placing a postage stamp that bears the Queen (or King) upside down is considered treason. * A license is required to keep a lunatic. ... http://www.nowpublic.com/world/hey-its-sunday-lets-go-kill-scotsman-archaic-british-laws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolina Cottontail Posted November 8, 2009 #140 Share Posted November 8, 2009 The one about the Eskimos and the freezer cracked me up. When I lived in South Dakota, we used to keep food frozen in our garage in the winter. We would transfer it to our freezer a week or so before we would cook it, to begin the thawing process! Crazy!

karl 12 Posted November 23, 2009 Author #144 Share Posted November 23, 2009 More cheeky facts: Religions, Myths, Superstitions, and Other BeliefsThe Aetherius Society believes Jesus is alive and well on the planet Venus. One superstition to get rid of warts involves rubbing a peeled apple and giving it to a pig. The Fijiian god Matawaloo has eight stomachs and is always eating. Buddhism is the fastest growing religion in Ireland. William Blake, Winston Churchill, and John Lennon were all ordained druids. Some saints in the Middle Ages were dirty because they thought it would bring them closer to God. St. Anthony never washed his feet; St. Abraham never washed his hands or feet for 50 years; St. Sylvia never washed any part of her body except her fingertips. St. Cassian was a schoolmaster whose pupils stabbed him to death with their pens. There is no mention of Adam and Eve eating an apple in the Bible. One mariner's tale of the 15th century held that men who tried to sail south of Morrocco would be transformed into Negroes. Legend has it that after he was beheaded, St. Dennis, the patron saint of Paris,France, carried his head around and walked for quite some distance before finally setting it down. According to the ancient Chinese, swinging your arms cures headache pain. The ancient Celts believed that rivers were the urine of goddesses. Many European rivers (Seine, Severn, Danube, etc.) were named after these urinating Celtic deities. Pliny believed that the souls of the dead resided in beans. http://www.ladyoftheearth.com/stories/a-religious.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
