Esau Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 quote: 16. The first Harley Davidson motorcycle built in 1903 used a tomato can for a carburetor. I think my '71 750 Bonneville had one of those. Here's some more useless facts: I have 14 pennies stacked on my desk. I still haven't had sex with Morgan fairchild. I don't like yams. The male Platypus has a sharp, hollow, horny spur about 15 millimetres long on the inside of both hind leg ankles. This is connected to a venom gland which produces a very strong toxin. The spur can be used in defence against predators (the venom can cause excruciating pain in humans and is strong enough to kill a dog.) but the fact that it is restricted to the male - and that the gland reaches its greatest development in the mating season - suggests that it is normally employed in aggressive encounters between males.

Schwa. Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 The term "the whole 9 yards" came from W.W.II fighter pilots in the South Pacific. When arming their airplanes on the ground, the .50 caliber machine gun ammo belts measured exactly 27 feet, before being loaded into the fuselage. If the pilots fired all their ammo at a target, it got "the whole 9 yards." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
