[DeadMansParty]

DMP's first " French Kiss" in 1989 was at the mall where they filmed " Bad Santa". hehe. and by they way its not in Arizona like they say in the movie, its actually Del Amo mall in Torrance Ca. The scene when John Ritter meets billy bob, the bench right there, I still remember her name, Amy Carr. haha.

The only 15-letter word that can be spelled without repeating a letter is uncopyrightable.

There are only three words in the English language that begin with the letters "dw" (no, dweeb is not one of them): dwarf, dwell, and dwindle.

 

[Carek1230]

"Stewardesses" is the longest word that is typed with only the left hand.

Probably not--since it's French, it's pronounced something like la-ronzh, instead of like orange. Those Frenchies!

Even though it is 23 degrees, with a wind chill of 15, here in Indiana right now, it is officially Spring. And on the spring equinox (and on the autumn equinox in September), a raw egg can be stood on end. I did it a few minutes ago and took a picture to prove it; but I'm headed out of town for the day and will have to wait until later to post it!

Nobody is buried in Grant’s tomb. President & Mrs. Grant are entombed there. A body is buried only when it is placed in the ground and covered with dirt.

Believe it or not, the guillotine was created as a way of making executions less painful. Dr. Joseph Ignace Guillotin (who lent his name to the contraption but didn’t invent it) was actually an anti-death-penalty activist who suggested it as a more “humane” form of execution. And he was right—to a point. While it was France’s last form of capital punishment, it was still being used up until 1977.

Firehouses have circular stairways because the engines were at a time pulled by horses. The horses were stabled on the ground floor, and figured out how to walk up straight staircases.
