    Some unbelievable facts

    In the 1400's a law was set forth that a man was not allowed to beat
    His wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have "the Rule of thumb ".

    Many years ago in Scotland , a new game was invented. It was ruled
    "Gentlemen Only...Ladies Forbidden"...and thus the word GOLF entered
    Into the English language .

    The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time TV was Fred And Wilma Flintstone

    Every day more money is printed for Monopoly than the US Treasury.

    Men can read smaller print than women can; women can hear better.

    Coca-Cola was originally green.

    It is impossible to lick your elbow.

    The average number of people airborne over the US any given hour:
    61,000

    Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair .

    The first novel ever written on a typewriter: Tom Sawyer

    Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king in history:
    Spades - King David
    Hearts - Charlemagne
    Clubs -Alexander, the Great
    Diamonds - Julius Caesar

    111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321 !!!

    If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in The air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in The air the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If The horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural Causes.

    Q. What do bullet-proof vests, fire escapes, windshield wipers, and Laser printers all have in common?
    A. All invented by women.!!

    Q. What is the only food that doesn't spoil?
    A. Honey

    In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed Firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase......... "goodnight, sleep tight."

    It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a
    Month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law
    With all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because
    Their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month,
    Which we know today as the honeymoon.

    In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts... So in old
    England , when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them "Mind your pints and quarts, and settle down." It's where we get the Phrase "mind your P's and Q's"

    Many years ago in England , pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the
    Rim, or handle, of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill, they
    Used the whistle to get some service. "Wet your whistle" is the phrase
    Inspired by this practice.

    Don't delete this just because it looks weird. Believe it or not, you
    Can read it..........

    Amazing huh?

    ~~~~~~~~~~~AND FINALLY~~~~~~~~~~~~

    At least 75% of people who read this will try to lick their elbow. Did you ????????????

        thans 4 the link, i would surely check.. but I have been storing honey which is almost like 2 years and it is yummy. honey should be real natural and not the market one mixed with preservatives, which would spoil within a mnth
