Useless Facts

I've been over Donner Pass a few dozen times, and also read some books about the real Donner (and others) families. I also read the book about the soccer team who were in a plane crash in the Andes. I can't help but thinking if you have decided to eat human flesh, exactly what part is the tastiest?

Does gender make a difference?
Maybe I should start a new thread?
Maybe in the survival section of PreparedSociety.com?

Does it taste like chicken?

One would hope so. I live in a blue state and I haven't worked for a non Trumper in the past year.............. Our state is rigged and I'm not happy about that. Oregon never makes a difference anyway.

Our new Repub governor just cut education by 146 million.

 

[Nick]

It's just the beginning !

When do you believe education should begin to cost money? In California, it is not uncommon to see 30-40 year old "kids" still going to college full time as they suck up all the free benefits the state has to offer them. Maybe this is why California is currently in debt to the tune of $454 billion!

Much of the cut here was to elementary and high schools.

I could tell them how to cut school costs and student loan debt. Cut out all the unneeded classes. I know someone who has 84 college hours. She already has all core classes done. But since it takes 124 hours for a BA, she now needs 40 hours of electives. None of the 40 hours have anything to do with her degree.
Give a BA to anyone who completes all core classes.

 

[havasu]

Yeah, I really believe education for grades 1-12 should be left alone since this is the fundamental time for learning.

Here they raise our property taxes every year for the schools .

Actually they raise taxes on everything for Bull that never gets used for what they raise the tax for . Such a crooked state . If you move out of state they tax you on that to .

 

[Floorist]

In Kansas they charge a sales tax on labor.
When I was installing for the housing authority, they made me carry workmen's comp. It covered no one, since you can't carry it on yourself and I had no employees.

 

[Nick]

They did that here to , then they let you on for more money .

The history of the middle finger :

I never knew this before, and now that I know it, I feel compelled to send it on to my more intelligent friends in the hope that they, too, will feel edified.? Isn't history more fun when you know something about it????

Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers. Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore they would be incapable of fighting in the future. This famous English longbow was made of the native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as 'plucking the yew' (or 'pluck yew').?

Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French, saying, See, we can still pluck yew!? Since 'pluck yew' is rather difficult to say, the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodentals fricative F', and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute!? It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used with the longbow that the symbolic gesture is known as 'giving the bird.'?

IT IS STILL AN APPROPRIATE SALUTE TO THE FRENCH TODAY!?
And yew thought yew knew every plucking thing

I was totally confused when I heard the word ‘Service’ used with these agencies:
Internal Revenue ‘Service’
US Postal ‘Service’
Telephone ‘Service’
Cable TV ‘Service’
Civil ‘Service’
Federal ‘Service’
State ‘Service’
City ‘Service’
Public ‘Service’
Customer ‘Service’
This is NOT what I thought ‘Service’ meant. But yesterday I overheard two farmers talking,
and one of them said he had hired a bull to ‘Service’ a few cows.
BAM!!! It all came into focus… Now I understand what all those
agencies are doing to us…
You are now as enlightened as I am…
