    @ Bahir
    I've always known the stuff in your eyes in the morning as "sleep" I once had the unpleasant experience of waking up with both eyes so thoroughly gummed together I had to prise the lids apart with my fingers.

    @ Cesard
    Similar laws exist in York & Chester. In Chester it's the Welsh with a longbow. I think it's still the Scotish in York (again with a longbow). In fact in York it's illegal to NOT practice your archery skills once a month in what is now a large car park.

    The band "Neds Atomic Dustbin" took their name from a cartoon strip.

    Perry Farrell from Janes Adiction and Porno for Pyros is not actually related to Terry Farrell aka original Dax from Deep Space Nine.

    Yes those Normans made English and Welsh children practice archery every sunday after church, which led to the defeat of the French.

    Enagonios - I don't think that women even understand each other.

    The Knights Templar were originally a religious group created by the Pope around the the year 1100. They're mission as crusaders was to find and retrieve religious artefacts. They found a lot of them, but the most significant ones were the Holy Grail (which is made of wood) and the "I don't remember what it's called" that suposedly held the spirit of God. The group then splitted in two. The Sadesh became a croup of Templars that decided to guard the "forgot the name". It is said that the Sadesh, in time, have begun to mutate and that they are not entirely human anymore. The rest of the Templars returned to Vatican, with a lot of riches and artefacts. They eventually became a very rich and powerfull group that could be overruled only by the Pope. At the beggining of the sixtinth century, King "I forgot his name" of Spain thought that the Templars were too powerfull so he gathered hundreds of them in some square in Madrid (I think), declared them heretics and burned them. The Pope then excomunicated then. I've heard rumors that the present occultic group of Templars (in a strange alliance with the Masons) have the Holy Grail and some Holy Scrolls. I've heard that the Catholic Church would agree to officialy recognise the Templars again if they were tho give the Holy Scrolls to the Catholic Church. There are currently serious internal conflicts among the Templars, because of this offer to becone recognised. These conflicts aspecially happen between the different Templaric casts. Bla bla bla, but this stuff is true. :beer:

    Yeah, but it is interesting as to useless info....

    For my own blurb on useless info: poutine is good. For those of you who don't know what poutine is, its a Québecois dish which consists of fries, gravy, and cheese curds. It is very tastey, very fattening, but very tastey :D

    Studies show (in England) that gay men have the most sex, straight couples in second place, and lesbians come last.

    Kelvon, are you forgetting about Bapomet and the Knights Templar :)

    Well I did say along the lines of...

    You cannot bite your own ear either.

    Combine 'biting your ear' with '(attempting)touching your left elbow with your left hand' for some amusing results.

    Your feet are about as long as your lower arm (without your hand)

    My bed is 220cm long and will offer me a good place to sleep real soon.

    If you own a pig in France, you are prohibited to call it "Napoleon".


    @ Ravynn and Zurga: I wouldn't judge that theory before you don't know the whole story. A mayor argument is that omega-3 fatty acids, which are required to develop a large brain, are pretty rare in the land foodchain, but very common in marine foodchains. I suggest reading the entry at Wikipedia.org

    I'll stop now, because this shouldn't end up as a scientific discussion. :)

    The name you are searching for is Philip the Fair (Philippe le Bel) of France. It was in Paris. ;)

    Sorry to contradict. Maybe YOU can't, but that doesn't mean it applies to everyone else :lol:

    Hm, does this mean I fall in the 15%? After all, I did not try it AFTER reading this post.........

    If you stretch out your arms to the side, then the distance from fingertips to fingertips is approximately your height.

    On second thought, this isn't that useless...

    This year, Death Rabbit's birthday is on a Tuesday.

    He's 'one of the few' who might be interested in that fact.

    Hey Jazhara, I remember checking that and I was exactly equal. Scary.

    Really? Lantus? That's an interesting name. Mine is not Yirimyah. Most people call me "AHHHH!!".
