There's a hill in Kentucky called Brit's Knob.
Made me laugh.
In Kentucky is a region called The Knobs, named for a narrow, 230 mile arcing row of isolated hills and cone-shaped earth mounds that wraps around the northern part of the state from border to border, separating the northern and southern Blue Grass regions.
Some geologists assert that the conical mounds, known as knobs, are man-made. Others strongly disagree, noting that capstones on many of the knobs is indicative of erosion. Some are several hundred feet in height.
Many of the knobs (if not all) are named for an historical owner of the property it sits upon, including Britt's Knob.

We have long known this is true, but people keep using this poison. Good for the Aussies!

Yes, the Beatles included a high-frequency, ~15-20 kHz tone at the end of the original UK vinyl release of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) that is primarily audible to dogs.

I don't think that sound is still included on modern CDs. The first time I heard this story, it was claimed that John wanted the noise on the record.I had to google this to be sure it was true....... IT WAS.....

I remember having a vinyl import of Sgt Pepper years ago and after the final note of the piano (on A Day In The Life) faded out there was a screeching, annoying sound and then one time you heard Paul saying something difficult to understand.
On a recent anniversary CD, there's no longer a screeching sound and whatever Paul said is looped over and over again into a fade.
