Impressive Just A Dude.
I didn't know any of them!
So thanks to everyone who loves making me feel stupid.
=D

Oh, uh, nope didn't know bout the (another name for a rooster) tail thing either, but I never actually wondered that..

I actually ponder over even more retarded (Can I say that?) things..

Like, in one of my earlier posts, was my one dollar bill ever in the crack of a stripper?

Why didn't Albert Einstein like wearing socks and why did his inspiration for science begin with a compass??

or knowing stupid things like...

Coca-Cola would actually be green it coloring wasn't added.
Did you know that there is a city called Rome on every continent?
Or that and Ostrich's eyes is bigger than it's brain.

Did you know elephants are the only mammal that can't jump?
or that most dust particles in your home are actually made up of dead skin?

I know retarded things..
..and idk why..

Oh yeah, and let's not forget that giraffes can clean their own ears with a 21-inch tongue! Nasty!

A raisin dropped into a glass of fresh champagne will 'bounce' from the top to the bottom of the glass continously.

When Elvis Presley was young he worked at a trucking company that was owned by Frank Sinatra.

If you hold your nose and cover your mouth while sneezing, you can actually blow your eyeballs out of the socket.

..and lastly..

Why did a man named Charlie Osborne have the hiccups for 26 years straight?!

Beauty and brains...
Who'd'a thunk it, eh?
:D

I'm impressed you know any of them.
All news to me. =]

Number Five:

The author, his name was Nathaniel Hawthorne.

Hawthorne wrote back-to-back best sellers:

"The Scarlet Letter"

and

"House of the the Seven Gables"

Holla!

I just learned a bunch of things I never realized before..

One.

According to the Guiness Book of World Records, the most commonly stolen book from bookstores each year is... the Guiness Book of World Records.

Two.

The first woman to ever perform a 'nude' scene within a movie was also the designer of the revolutionary frequency jumping. Which is used in modern day cell phones, wi-fi, etc. She was quoted for saying, ironically enough, 'Any woman can be glamorous. All she has to do is stand there and look dumb.'

Three.

Betty Crocker, who in her early days, held an audience to equal that of modern day American Idol doesn't exist. She was a made up character by General Mills.

Four.

The free world already knew the world was round BEFORE 1492 when Columbus was proclaimed to have proven its validity. The globe was already invented prior to. (Though it didn't include America, because that wasn't known to exist yet.)

Five.

Franklin Pearce (Pierce, idk how you spell his last name) got his old buddy, a famed author, to write his biography. This author, who I can't recall the name of off hand, was famous at the time but the biography was only partially true and failed to mention that Pearce was an alcoholic among other things. He then became one of the worst presidents in history.

Relevance? Barbara Bush's maiden name is Barbara Pearce; which makes her a direct descendant of Franklin Pearce... Yup, that explains alot.

Six.

Paul Revere didn't ride his horse through three states or whatever it was; a man named Israel Bissell did. Revere actually only rode 15 miles; which in that time, meant he probably only warned about 15 people.

Seven.

"Yankee Doodle came to town riding on his pony, he stuck a noodle in his hat and called it macaroni." This catch phrase was actually the British mocking American's because of a club called the 'Macaroni Club'. (A group of men who got around and discussed fashion.) This song was actually made up to make fun of Yankees, but instead, as Americans, we know a catchy beat when we hear one.

Eight.

Jose Cuervo opened one of the first mexican winery's in a little place called, 'Tequila'. How ironic...

Nine.

While Little Debbie and Chef Boyardee (who changed the spelling of his real name, though it was said the same) are both real people; Aunt Jemima wasn't. Aunt Jemima is actually a woman named Nancy Green. 1983, Chicago World's Fair, where the Ferris Wheel and Electricity were both introduced to the public, Nancy Green was 'said to be' one of the most popular ideas there. A former slave, she was also the first African-American spokes(wo)men of our time. Based on a hit pop song of that time; Aunt Jemima was so impressed with her, that made her their spokesmodel for life! Unfortunately, she was run over by a car and passed away in 1923.

Ten.

During the 100 year war between the French and the English, the English had a weapon called the longbow (or something like that) which was made from a strong tree called the Yew. The French hated and feared this bow, well, anyway, after having the English surrounded the French began to celebrate their victory prematurely. However, long story short, the english had to use their middle finger to pull back the string and flick it and the arrows would launch 250 feet. To counter this, when the French captured and English soldier they would chop off their middle fingers.

During this battle, in which the English ended up upsetting the French, the English taunted the French by holding up their middle fingers and saying, idk, some wierd word.. Later to be translated as eff you. Thus, point in fact, this was the origin of the middle finger.

Eleven.

The term 'Upset' was actually derived years ago when a horse named, whatever it was, raced seemingly unstoppable and finished it's career 20-1. That one loss came to a nobody horse named, 'Upset'. So, from that point on, anytime an underdog defeats a projected winner, it's referred to as an 'upset'.

Twelve.

The first 15 presidents of the USA had no facial hair. The next 7 of 8 did. The only reason that one didn't, well, after Lincoln was assassinated it's safe to assume he didn't have time to grow a beard.

:D

Interesting things..
I just never knew...

"..good.."

::He smiles as he kisses her again softly.::

"..but you down to go to the kitchen wit' me? I'm starving!"

::as his tummy growls beneath her tightly wrapped arms::

Funny thing is, I did work in a butcher shop/slaughter house.
I still love meat. Which isn't to say I'm heartless, it's just saying I never made a distinct 'relationship' with the animals there.

Another odd thing about veggies, is that when they order out in, let's say, an italian restaurant (like my friends) they order pasta of some sort, but what cracks me up is that they don't realize half the sauces made in restaurants are cooked in a meat concoction, although it's not always in the final product, it is sometimes (no, not always) made with meat originally.

I understand vegetarianism (is that even a word and, if so, did I spell it right?) and the ideas associated with it; but at the same time, most of the vegans I've met are also highly religious... didn't they like sacrifice a lamb or something for that supper thing?

Either way, I'm not against it. To each their own, eh.

But no offense, I love steak...
..but that's just me..

"Well..."

::He chuckled softly as he kisses her forehead continuing to rub her back.::

"..looks like we're both stuck here forever together. Cause if neither of us wanna leave without the other.. well, we ain't going anywhere."

::He pulls her even closer, if that was possible.::

::He smiles to himself as his nails of his one hand run up and down her back. For the first time in years.. he was happy.::

"..even if you did, I would follow you anywhere.."

"Yeah, well, that's the way of things.."

::He shrugged slightly as he pulls her over and bck on top of him s he holds her close.::

"..well, I'm not going anywhere.."

"..nice?"

::He pondered over that a moment. One was a pompous ***, while the other tried to kill him; he merely shook his head.::

"..your experiences were better than mine apparently."

I don't have a girl..
So, therefore, I got noone to sing them to personally...
But thanks. :D

Right...
Can I borrow your d. camera? :D

(That's why I did it. :D)

>>Several Hours Later<<

::He runs a hand up along her arm as he pulls the sheets up a bit more.::

"..so, ya think this place is really ours anymore?"

When I figure out how to put them up there. :D

"Oh, it's already been broughten!"

::Kisses her again softly::

This is the fifth song I've written BUT;
Only the second that will be sung for people.
Lemme know wutcha think, yo!
And this one I wrote in it's full entirity.

I took your advice Anjel.
I'm writing song lyrics for local artists 'n friends.
:D

"Somewhere Inbetween"

What’s it-what’s it mean

When ya-when ya stuck in between

What’s it-what’s it mean

When ya- when ya can’t be seen



Lost within the middle

Like a psychedelic riddle

We forgot where we were headed

All those tears that we regretted

Yet here I am still reminiscing

Memories of things I’m still missing

Stuck (Stuck) here still in the middle

Missing you more than just a little

My heart was stolen; within those eyes

My soul took off; within those skies

Now I’m broken; within these lies

Empty with you; sealing my demise



What’s it-what’s it mean

When ya-when ya stuck in between

What’s it-what’s it mean

When ya-when ya can’t be seen

You were-you were my only queen

But ya-but ya left this scene

Now ya-now ya broke the routine

So, what’s it- what’s it mean

When life-when life ain’t so serene



Tearing me apart

Since this start

I can’t find the meaning

As doubts keep intervening

Where, oh, where did your little love go?

Why, oh, why must I ignore the flow?

Life is (ever changing in its direction)

Love is (never changing with a connection)

You’re not just my flavor of the week

You’re from my dreams; the woman I seek

Every day (yes every day) I want spent with you

I don’t know how to make my words become true

All I know; is that I only love you (you)

Please, God, give me the power

Just let it rain (let it rain)

Let my love be her shower (and empower)



What’s it-what’s it mean

When ya-when ya can’t see in between

While-while most remains unseen

My love-my love will always be serene



So, what’s it-what’s it mean

When ya-when ya just can’t be seen

According to the last few views..
I don't know what I am anymore.
I believe in a 'higher power'.
I don't believe in the Bible; in any way.
So, in the eyes of most (not all) Christians..
I'm a blasphemer.
At the same time, I don't give a f*** what they think.
Because I believe that religion is based on lies and deception.
An concoction forged merely to keep order and the masses in check through fear.

I do, however, believe something put us here.
That 'something' is powerful, but idk if He/She is actually as kind, gentle, and warm hearted as often portrayed either..

So, anyway..

If an agnostic person 'cannot know' if there is a God or not, then we are ALL agnostic, are we not? Believers, do just that 'belief' but they have no solid, concrete proof of such existances.

I always thought an agnostic was someone who believed in a higher spiritual power but that this entity didn't necessarily have a name or religious organization inspired in that diety's name...

Then again, idk what I really am anymore.. lol.

Me, personally, I'm not on the side of athiests, becuz that's just saying we are becuz we are.. and that, IMO, is truly niave. However, at the same time, it could be, oddly enough true. Maybe we are just descendants of apes or whatever, but then my question is.. where did the ape come from that we descended from?

Now from the Christian stand point; I understand the concept of wanting to believe in something higher and better than ourselves, but at the same time, the desperation in uncovering this answer has led many to a false-pretense of security in a church built on lies and arrogant demeaning behaviors.

I'd defend that last statement; but that's not what the topic is about, is it?

I think I forgot my point unless I made it already, lol. >.<

Nicely put.
I woulda done the holds thumbs up thing..
..but that's so Mirrors. :D

" I was thinking..."

::As he crawls onto the bed and hovers over her as he leans down and steals a kiss.::

"..both."
