If you remember this discussion from several years ago...

Traditionally eaten at Christmas in the UK, Mince Pies contain no meat. While the spicy dried fruit filling is called mincemeat, commercially produced pies have 0% meat content. However, as the name implies, originally chunks or minced cuts of lamb, or other meats, and the ingredients were based on Arab foods and spices brought back to Britain by 13th Century Crusaders.

During the English Civil War, to the Puritan authorities, the mince pie was seen as being associated the Catholic Idolatry, and subsequently it was illegal to eat them.

2nd is the most common street name in the country. Most 1st Streets are renamed for a famous resident or historical figure.

If you have 3 quarters, 4 dimes, and 4 pennies, you have $1.19. You also have the largest amount of money in coins without being able to make change for a dollar.

Your "wingspan" (fingertip to fingertip across your shoulders) is the same as your height.

Your foot is as long as the distance along your forearm from your wrist to your inner elbow.

On average, women say 7,000 words per day. Men, just over 2000.

Because heat expands the metal, the Eiffel Tower always leans away from the sun.

Interesting & true fact: The vocalizations of some parrots can be heard for up to 1 mile.





Or, in the case of the internet, much farther.

Fernando Tatis of the St. Louis Cardinals is the only player to hit two grand slams in one inning. He hit them in '98 against Chan Ho Park of the Dodgers.

In 1963, baseball pitcher Gaylord Perry said, "They'll put a man on the moon before I hit a home run." On July 20, 1969, a few hours after Apollo 11 landed on the moon, Gaylord Perry hit his first home run.
