That would depend on which version of the bible.


While it is often considered one of the apocrypha, Baruch 6:21 mentions cats.



Now how is *that* for useless knowledge. :D:up:

Apparently "they" are [statues of] Babylonian gods, and the fact that cats sit upon their heads is proof that they are not actually gods. :haha:

The original story from "Tales of 1001 Arabian Nights" begins, "Aladdin was a little Chinese boy."

Hydrogen gas is the least dense substance in the world, at .08988g/cc.



Hydrogen solid is the most dense substance in the world at 70.6g/cc.


Which makes sense.

William Shatner claims that he has never seen any of his TV shows or movies (With the exception of when he directed)


It seems that despite his ego, he really does not like to see himself on film

Digby Tatham-Warter was a British Major who during World War II led a British battalion wearing a bowler hat and armed with an umbrella.
Among other things, he defeated a German car, heavily laden with weapons and ammunition, with its umbrella, and during a shelling of enemy fire, he exclaimed:
"Do not worry about the bullets, I have an umbrella!".
Digby survived the war and did not die until 1993.
