I first got laid in 1966.
No WD-40 was used.



Did you have to use vice grips or duct tape?


Handcuffs!


I didn't know they had those in 1966 BC:P
Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.

there are only four division NCAA division 1 football programs whose mascots meet the following criteria: they don't contain animals, colors, or end in "s".

Illinois (Fighting Illini)
Notre Dame (Fighting Irish)
Stanford (Cardinal - it's actually a tree)
US Naval Academy (Midshipmen)

disclaimer: this may be old, as ncaa adds schools to division 1 every year. was accurate when i was in college, though. ;) I answered this question correctly when i was in college while sitting at a table full of members of the Air Force Football team. :P

if you can think of more, by all means, add them!



The USNA football team has destroyed Westpoint's for the last 7 years... and will hopefully do it again tomorrow afternoon! :)

As an Illini fan I can say we play football in the loosest sense of the word.

President U. S. Grant was named Hiram Ulysses Grant. His Congressman erroneously nominated him to West Point as Ulysses S. Grant. He was unable to convince West Point to change his name back.


I don't believe you. BRB......................Ok, I believe you believe they believe it's true. :D They changed my name in the Army too...a few times! Thank God none of them stuck.
can I borrow a jump ticket real quick?

The time it takes for the planet to make one complete revolution is not 24 hours. It is actually 23 hrs, 56 min, 4.0905 seconds. This is called a sideral day.

However, the definition of a "day" is the amount of time it takes for the sun to appear in the same place again in the sky. In the 23hrs, 56min, 4.0905 seconds it took the planet it rotate, it revolved around the sun 360/365 (or .9863) degrees. Therefore it takes a little more rotation for the sun to appear at that same point. this take a little less than 4 mins, making the day 24 hours. This is called a mean solar day.
