There's a street in England called "sluts hole lane"....  I see a pattern starting to develop here.... 8)

Oh, we got more than that. As we're indulging in schoolboy humour (at last, a thread at my level ;D) check this out

BTW, I tried to post this link during a brief respite at work today. Unfortunately the filter software decided I was trying to access pornography so I'm expecting a few questions being asked of me tomorrow :-\

In Prague is a little street named Perlová, traditional spot for hookers. Some joker posted there a memorial stone Padlým ženám - means To rememebr fallen women.

Čest jejich p - means we honor their p...

My city has stones like this all over the place - but mostly to victims of WW2 and the russians in 1968

Aluminum is produced since 1886, while the cheap electrolytic process that is still used today was applied in 1888.

I found out on the farm one day that if you cover a horsefly's eyes with grease, it'll fly straight up until you can't see it anymore.

Thats a great use for one. But don't have one near where you're TIG/MIG welding as it will cause your arc to dance and wander anywhere but where you want it.

A 2005 study at the University of British Columbia concluded that tipping a cow would require an exertion of 2,910 newtons of force; meaning that a 4’7” cow pushed at an angle of 23.4 degrees relative to the ground would require the equivalent strength of 4.43 people to tip the poor thing over.

A single cowboy atop a horse with a lariat does a pretty good job of bringing them to their knees rather quickly. Apparently UBC missed that whole phenomenon.
