It's not just luck that travels around china on a cycle. There are over 500 million bikes there.

I am currently reading the diary of a young man living in Georgia during the American Civil War. He had a crushed leg and tuberculosis. He died just after the war ended.

There just aren't many historical comedies around.

Perhaps because they are all still with us, despite us pretending we've advanced so much, they're not considered to be historical to be put into a historical comedy.

Monty Python had a go at it although I suppose they were more parodies than historical comedies.

A word that is another word when spelled backwards is called a emordnilap. That is palindrome spelled backwards.

An example is the words stressed and desserts.

Rhode Island Reds are popular Amerucan chickens with origins from both Asia and Europe.

Walt Kelly, writer and artist of the classic funny-animals comic Pogo, had a feline villain based on the notoriously anti-communist politician Joseph McCarthy. Said character was deathly afraid of a radical female chicken...a Rhode Island Red.

Rhode Island Reds were represented by Rocky in the 2000 Aardman film, Chicken Run, an American con-cock.


My views are my own and do not reflect those of everyone else... and I wouldn't have it any other way.
