America did not invent violence and corruption (but it has learned it thoroughly) and the American Dream is not just a sentimental value. It is the Statue of Liberty, the huddled masses yearning to be free, my home is my castle, give me liberty or give me death, reverence for our fallen soldiers, a house a car and a television, your rights end where mine begin, apple pie, baseball, hot dogs, ...

Thread topic: give a piece of interesting useless information, and I did. Note politician paint the picture of the good ole days when America was great, when times were simpler, when families dwelled on farms and the internet was not available.

We believed in our leaders, god and in each other. Nowadays, due to an excessive amount of information we hear and see corruption everyday so much that we’ve come to expect it. Historically, there has always been corruption but we didn’t always know about it.

Would you prefer to go through a life that is filtered from the truth or to be aware of the world you live in spite of the evil and corrupt of mankind?

Just remember, you are what you eat, what you see and hear becomes a part of you that cannot be reversed.

Yes, those are all true, and our involvement in helping maintain and better our country is part of our civic duty...IMO. It is constantly changing and adjusting itself to these changes. Some of them are very big deals this year...the election being paramount to me.
 
An ostrich’s eye is bigger than its brain.

It’s physically impossible for a pig to look up at the sky.

Your own dead skin cells make up the majority of the dust in your house.

New Jersey grows two-thirds of the world’s eggplants.

The first ever manned flight by the Wright Brothers and the moon landing were a mere 66 years apart. Ever wonder how much we evolved our technology in such a short span of time?

“I took an arrow in the knee” is an old Norse slang for getting married. That is the reason why men get down on one knee to propose a woman.


This is my favourite....


Reading and dreaming are the functions of two opposite sides of the brain. That’s the reason why you cannot read in your dreams.
 
The British Army's Guards Regiments dress uniform includes a tall black bear skin cap. Every year 2 Canadian First Nation's bands provide about 100 new black bear pelts to the British Government, to be made into those dress uniform black fur caps. Rest assured that with over 150,000 Black bears living across Canada, there is no threat to their future, and in fact annual culls take place to control the black bear population in Canada.

A second Canadian contribution to the Royal Family is the tradition of giving a horse to the Monarch, as a gift from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Queen Elizabeths favorite mount for the Trooping of the Colors each year in June was a RCMP horse named Burmese, which she rode for over 20 years. King Charles new mount is also a RCMP horse from their breeding farm outside of Ottawa.

The North West Mounted Police were first stood up in 1874, and their mission was to patrol and protect the 49th Parallel, which forms the border between the Canadian Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, and the United States. The NWMP first force was just 400 men, and they patrolled in pairs on horseback for 3 weeks at a time. The choice of the red serge tunic was deliberate, so that the Natives knew they were not US Army troops.

One of the first NWMP Officers was a son of Charles Dickens, the famous novelist. Despite having very poor eyesight, and being very allergic to horses, he lasted 7 years until he died of a heart attack at age 38. In 1920 the NWMP became the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and they are our national Federal Police Service, with 19,000 members in 2024. The RCMP has jurisdiction in all parts of Canada. Their cap badge is a large buffalo head, within a wreath of Maple Leaves.

Hummingbirds have outstanding spatial memory and can remember feeder locations years later.
They are able to keep track of bloom peaks and remember which flowers they've visited.
This is because a large portion of a hummingbird's brain is occupied by the hippocampus, an area dedicated to learning and spatial memory.
Most hummingbirds beat their wings 60 to 80 times per second.
