Inside the flagpole on any miltary installation is a book of matches, and ammo used in the current caliber of pistol the General has.

The matches are to burn the flag, less any enemy capture the base, and the bullet... for the General to kill himself.

The ball at the top of a flagpole is called a Truck.

The only way to have a flag at half-staff is to raise it from the ground all the way to the top, and then bring it back down to half-staff.

When wearing an American flag on your right arm, it is to be backwards.

a pig's penis is shaped like a corkscrew. This probably means that after sex it takes him 30 minutes to "unwind".

California sea lions are voyeurs; they are stimulated by the sight of other sea lions performing sex. Oftentimes, this is the only form of sexual gratification for the younger males since the older ones jealously guard their harems. During the mating season, which lasts 2 months, the older males are expected to satisfy the sexual needs of their harem. Copulation may last an hour or longer as the pair float just below the surface of the water. Once one affair is completed, the male must hurry ashore to begin again with a new female.
