Since Chevrolet has produced the Corvette there has been only one year in which there was not a production Corvette made. The year was 1983. The Corvette was undergoing a major overhaul and body modifications.

"Rule of Thumb" derives from an old English law that says that it unacceptable to beat your wife with anything thicker than your thumb...
It is still legal to shoot a Welshman with a crossbow in parts of England - the law was never revoked. (I'll remember exactly where soon - my memory ain't what it was).

The law your referring to makes it legal to shoot a Welshman in the grounds of Hereford cathedral with a Long bow on Sundays. The same rule exists in Chester but only after midnight and a similar law was enacted in relation to Scotsmen inside York’s city walls after dark.
I have to warn any would be archers though; it's a myth. Whilst the laws did exist, the doctrine of implied repeal would mean you'd find yourself caught by the Homicide Act 1957.

My useless factoid is that the small British town of Berwick-upon-Tweed is technically at war with Russia and has been so since 1853. When Britain declared war on Russia for what became known as the Crimean War, whether the town was part of Scotland or England was in dispute. It was therefore listed as a separate entity on the declaration of war. Three years later however at the conclusion of hostilities, the draftsmen negligently omitted mention of the town from the peace treaty.
The town was thusly left in the curious position of being in a permanent state of war with the Asian giant. That was of course until the 1960's when the Mayor of Berwick signed a peace treaty with a Russian diplomat, assuring the diplomat that the Russian people could now rest easy, secure in the knowledge that they were no longer threatened by the awsome power of Berwick-upon-Twead.

American history books tell us that the pilgrims were helped by two native americans called Samoset and Squanto (whose real name was pronounced Tisquantum) and thereafter prospered in the new world.
They neglect to mention the fact that when they met him, Squanto spoke fluent english and spanish and had lived in both England and Spain for some 15 years, before returning in 1619 (1 year before the pilgrims arrived) as an interpreter for an exploritory expedition of the New Engalnd coast.

You're wrong - the film showing when the Titanic sank was "A Night to Remember".
