            Because metal was scarce, the Oscars given out during World War II were made of wood.

                The name Wendy was made up for the book Peter Pan. There was never a recorded Wendy before it.

                    Are you sure? Don't think that's true.

                        THE TRUTH
                        The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12
                        Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
                        The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.

                                            It takes far more energy to manufacture a battery than the battery provides.

                                                care to explain? or shall we take your word for it?

                                                anyone else understand this?

                                                57006 is indeed correct

                                                            Orchids are grown from seeds so small that it would take thirty thousand to weigh as much as one grain of wheat.
