Dezmond 2 #8 Posted December 13, 2004 Cool site I really liked this one. ''It is illegal to be a prostitute in Siena, Italy, if your name is Mary. '' Probably on of the stupid things on that list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Athenian 1 #9 Posted December 13, 2004 (edited) Cool site I really liked this one. ''It is illegal to be a prostitute in Siena, Italy, if your name is Mary. '' Probably on of the stupid things on that list. 401872[/snapback] Not really if it shows a bad example and disrespect to the original Mary... People should stop using common names over and over, let us start being creative and eccentric when naming our offspring.

earthygirl04 1 #20 Posted December 15, 2004 Flying from London to New York by Concord, due to the time zones crossed, you can arrive 2 hours before you leave. So a newborn can be born in London and be flown to NY, and actually be alive before the time of it's own birth....... Ok, I just confused myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
