    many websites decide on which language to serve you content in based on the whois results of your IP address, rather than then useragent.locale substring. seems like bullshit to me, and leads to many pages being displayed to me in russian, or chinese .. the chinese is particularly difficult ;)

    Maybe not SO useless,as information goes;knowing this may just save your life,fellas....

    If a female says "Does my bum look big in this?"

    The correct response is NOT

    "Well,in fairness,this is a VERY small room"....

    You fell of the roof four times?

    Did you know we would not exist at all without gravity? ;)

    Many people are still arguing over what Doc Holiday (Val Kilmer) said in the movie: Tombstone.

    Did he really say "I'm your huckleberry"..

    Because it sounds like he said "I'm your huckle bearer".

    Both sayings are period correct. The script says "huckleberry" which is a Mark Twain (Huckleberry Finn) reference,
    probably meant to say "here comes trouble".

    But if he actually said: "I'm your huckle bearer", that's ten times worse because it means 'Pall Bearer' (handles on caskets are called Huckles).

    Good one. Still applies today. In the Army we were trained to immediately close one eye if a flare or star-cluster was tripped at night to retain some night vision after it burned out. Tripping a flare could trigger a firefight, you need to be able to see to fight.

    One of our common sayings, usually said as a joke, was "It's all fun and games until someone loses their nightvision".

    Contrary to popular belief, less than half of Gen. Custer's 7th Cavalry Regiment was killed at the Battle of Little Bighorn. Most of the regiment survived.

    It's often said the only survivor was a horse. Not only is this not true, but there were many witnesses to the fight that took Custer's life. They had been ordered to hold ground on other hilltops and witnessed the fight.

    The 7th Cavalry is also the only US Army unit to adopt a drinking song as their Regimental song. It's an Irish drinking song. The lyrics were changed in 1905 to reflect a more traditional military tune.

    I served in 5th Cav, 12th Cav, and 7th Cav. Scouts Out!

    The ending of the movie 'War Of The Worlds' was a pretty gruesome end for those aliens (if you remember).

    The rest of us must all get along, that includes the tiny peeps, lol.

    Ants, in fact, do fart. They let out only a single atom when doing so.
