A literal translation of a standard traffic sign in China: "Give large space to the festive dog that makes sport in the roadway."

That must be why the pedestrian crossing signs are running.

The Great Lakes contain enough fresh water to flood an area the size of Great Britain in over 100 meters of water.


So you Brits better watch it!

Birthdays are good for your health. Studies have shown that people who have more birthdays live the longest.

Hey Platapus, what ya going to do, wash us to death?

El Whacko, you lot weren't so feisty when we Brits burnt the White House down were you, your President ran away like a whipped cur.

Quote:
On August 24, 1814, as the War of 1812 raged on, invading British troops marched into Washington and set fire to the U.S. Capitol, the President's Mansion, and other local landmarks. The ensuing fire reduced all but one of the capital city's major public buildings to smoking rubble, and only a torrential rainstorm saved the Capitol from complete destruction.
Next time we'll come in the dry season.

Does this mean you burn more calories if you fall asleep in front of the TV ?

Larry Lewis ran the 100-yard dash in 17.8 seconds in 1969, thereby setting a new world's record for runners in the 100-years-or-older class. He was 101.
