whatever.......:)

Just watched Gran Torino with Clint Eastwood. Great movie, definitely worth checking out if (and who doesn't?) like Clint.

I have a couple of the "Uncle John's Bathroom Reader" books. The bottom of each page has a little,interesting bit of trivia. Here's but a few of them from "Uncle John Plunges Into History" (comments mine) :

The 1st ever income-tax was levied in Great Britain,to fund the war against Napoleon.(1803-1815)
No only child has ever been elected President of the USA.
Russia's February Revolution was in March, the October Revolution was in November.
Women in Switzerland didn't get the vote until 1971
Canada's 1880 Indian Act defined "person" as "an individual other than an Indian"(and then we only made them wait another 70 years to get the vote. Canada..what an enlightened country !)
In 1893,New Zealand became the 1st country to allow women to vote in national elections.
Dr. David Livingston wasn't actually lost. He just wasn't keen on being found.(who can't relate to that?)
Benjamin Harrison,who left office in 1893, was the last bearded U.S. president.(that is until Hillary get in)
Before the Boston Tea Party,the British actually lowered taxes, not raised them.
In England, in the 1700's, it was possible to buy insurance against going to hell.(the devil made them do it)
America's first nudist colony was established by three men. (hmmmmmm?where do I sign up?)

okay, time's short, see ya next time. Until then : as always, stay safe , stay happy :)
