The official name for the dot over the letter i or the letter j is tittle.

~ <--See that thing? It's called a tilde.

I am disappoint. I thought for a moment that Rhianne had begun posting again. Nope, not a jot OR tittle.

You cannot see the Great Wall from space...I learned that last night. And it stemmed from me watching an episode of Doctor Who, so...thank you BBC!

Lemmy Kilmister...Lead singer, and bassist for the rollicking metal band Motorhead:



His first record was "Knee Deep in the Blues", by Tommy Steele:



You can really hear Mr. Steele's influence on Lemmy's vocal style.:lol2:

One mile more than the Blues Brothers' nighttime trip to Chicago in sunglasses.

There are 14 McDonald's within 5 miles of where I'm sitting right now. The nearest is 1.1 miles away.

I could walk to it, buy a double quarter pounder with cheese(780 calories), eat it and walk home. A 300 lb person burns 159 calories per mile at 3 mph. I would net 430 calories if I did.

Gotta love the Double QP.:yum:

The Double QP's around here are juuust a little greasier than the regular QP. Just the right amount of greasy, though.

I would have sworn that I learnt this here, but...

Most mammals take around 21 seconds to pee.

I long for the days it only took 21 seconds. :(

I once peed 130' into a tugboat.

Here's a really fun fact:

Attachment 58387

According to Wikipedia, the most rain measured in 60 seconds, 1.5 inches, fell on Barot, Guadeloupe, on Nov 26, 1970.

The most rain measured in 24 hours, 71.9 inches, fell on Cilaos, Réunion, on Jan 7 - 8, 1966.

The yearly rainfall record belongs to Cherrapunji, Meghalaya, India. From 1860 - 1861, 1,042 inches of rain fell from the sky.

That's nothing. After a few years of that, Cherrapunji, Meghalaya, India will be under 1042 feet of ocean.
