Its been claimed by some that Francis Bacon wrote Shakespeare's plays.

And in other news:

Shakespeare invented over 1,700 words that we use today. Or maybe Bacon did. It hurts my head.

I heard that. I think Wow was one of them.

There was a law in one of the mid-western cities, I dont remember exactly where, it was illegal for pigeons to fly over the city.

The longest street in the world is Yonge Street, which runs through Toronto, Canada. (I've been on it!) It's 1,178 miles (1896 km) long.

I actually got this from facts.randomhistory.com because I love that website but did you know that "in folklore, one can become a vampire not only through a bite but also if he practiced sorcery, was excommunicated, committed suicide, was an illegitimate child of parents who were illegitimate, or died before baptism. Also anyone who was a 7th son, was the child of a pregnant woman who was looked upon by a vampire, was a nun who stepped over an unburied body, had teeth when he was born, or had a cat jump on his corpse before being buried could also turn into a vampire." Yeah seriously. I love folklore.

Did you know that according to the Bhagavad Gita (Hindu Holy Book) the Bhagavad will reincarnate in bovine form.

The good news: "We've located your deity"

The Bad News: "Yep...a cattle ranch in East Texas" or

Even Worse News: "What do you mean...A Big Mac????"

That would be something. McDonalds a holy shrine.

The actor Lionel Barrymore as a child had pet rats that would come when he called them. They scared the bejeebers out of his family. Another fact about the Barrymores. Their real name was Drew. They changed it to Barrymore after a famous English actor.

Very interesting. Very good actor as well!

During an average lifetime, a man will spend 3,350 hours removing 8.4 meters of stubble. Not me though.

Thats a thought. I can think of better uses for 3350 hours of time.

The first VCR was the size of a large living room wall and the tapes were as big as a no.3 washtub.
