According to folklore, a single girl could beat the egg whites from an egg into a glass until midnight on New Year's Eve, and if a figure could be seen in the white the next morning, it would tell something about her future husband. If, for example. looked like an anvil, she would be happy for a blacksmith.

I claim this land in the name of bird poop.
 
Whenever any citizen of the United States discovers a deposit of guano on any island, rock, or key, not within the lawful jurisdiction of any other Government, and not occupied by the citizens of any other Government, and takes peaceable possession thereof, and occupies the same, such island, rock, or key may, at the discretion of the President, be considered as appertaining to the United States.


The Guano Islands Act of 1856... still on the books.

I wonder if it's a coincidence Willie Nelson and Billie Carter were on the roof of the while smoking a couple joints while Jimmie was president ? Did this all happen the same night ?



I guess boys will be boys. :D

King Haakon The Good born 920—died 961 decreed households were to brew Christmas beer. Skipping out on brew day became a punishable act.


"and at that time everyone was to have ale for the celebration with a measure of grain, or else pay fines, and had to keep the holiday while the ale lasted."

Low Fat foods are actually loaded with more sugars then the regular versions of the same food!

Why do you say that Jeff?
Removing the fats, That actually has no effect on weight loss, removes the flavors.
So big Sugar is added to fix the taste.
It's been proven time and again that Sugar is what makes your Wives Arse grow! Not fat.
Well. After all the Sugar her arse is fat.
But I'll leave that to you to tell her!
