You can use each letter of Ronald Wilson Reagan's name and spell "Insane anglo warlord" and each of his three names has six letters. 666 How's that for too much time on your hands?
BTW "Barn" is a measurement of area. It's very small, used by quantum mechanics. So hitting the side of a barn might be harder than you think.

I don’t intend to come across as a “know it all” but I wish to dispute a couple of these statements.
February, 1865 enjoyed a full moon on the 10th of the month. Since the moon’s cycle is approx. 29.53 days, a number of Februarys throughout history missed out on a full moon. February 1961 and 1999 are examples. There are plenty more.
The QE2, from info on their own website, travels 50' per gallon at maximum cruise of 28.5 knots (those are Imperial gallons–it would be 40' in US gallons) and at service speed of 20 knots, makes 2.5 times the economy. Therefore, if it took a gallon to go 6", over 30 million gallons would be required to make a typical trans Atlantic crossing. The weight of the fuel alone would be triple the carrying capacity of the ship.
I guess this proves the fact that 43.61% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
Edited typo. I punched in 1965 instead of 1865.

Yeah, I knew all that stuff. Except the one about the Moon. Why would anybody want to step on Stefanie Harris?

no the american flag is not flying over parliment on the old two dollar bill(we have a $2 coin now)
and it's not flying on the $5 or $10 bills either
on the two and the ten it's the red ensign, Canada's flag until 1965 when it was replaced with the maple leaf
it's the maple leaf flying on the $5
it's amazing what some people will believe!

I beg to differ with the part about newborn's knee caps. I checked my babies out head to toe, and they did have wee little kneecaps, about the size of an Irish penny. (that's smaller than one of our dimes) And I type equally well with both hands, using my 2 index fingers at about the same rate! Love...Jill
