One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do.
Two can be as bad as one, it's the loneliest number since the number one. |

An object at rest will weigh less than an object in motion, just as an object at 68 degrees Fahrenheit will weigh less than the same object heated to 150 degrees Fahrenheit.

There was no "Battle of Bunker Hill" there was however a skirmish near "Breeds Hill" where the British were dealt a nasty blow. To this day textbooks persist in the teaching of the incident incorrectly. There's even a Bunker Hill Memorial. In the fine print of the memorial there is mention of Breeds Hill.
Cheers! :chr slack :usa |

The "Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" is total BS. He road a tiny distance and got credit for the whole thing. A Civil Servant named Bissell, Rode the long and dangerous road and got little or no credit. Bissell's Family were even Libeled by Revere's when They asserted the Facts in Public. Revere was an Ass.
"Washington Slept Here" was a tongue in cheek slam because of His well earned reputation for accepting Female Hospitality as He traveled. He wasn't called "The Father of Our Country" for nuthin. Not slamming anybody, but the truth as We believe, many times is not the actual Truth as it occured. Cheers! :chr slack :usa |
Re: Interesting random facts.
The day after the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japanese trains were still running from the town. Many people used them to escape the devastation wrecked town. Hundreds of people boarded one particular train, unknowingly jumping from the frying pan in to the fire. The train they boarded was headed to Nagasaki.
In 2009, Tsutomu Yamaguchi was officially recognised by the Japanese Government as double Hibakushu. He had been in Hiroshima on the 6th, 3km from the epicentre of the bomb, and on business, when Little Boy landed, and then returned home to Nagasaki the day after, on the aforementioned train, only to be home when Fat Boy was dropped two days later. He died in 2010 from stomach cancer, at the age of 93. |
