[QUOTE=kassios;563545]Did you know that...If you see a driver flashing the lights in daylight, that probably means that police radar is near and you should be aware of the speed limit. Cyprus is one of the few places on earth that you will see people do that!

[quote=Jenks;560899]sick work on not knowing your elements Pickle. :lol:
NASCAR was invented by and because of bootleggers. The first race was against notorious moonshine runners. Because of prohibition, alcohol was made in the woods, and delivered at night in fast cars with no lights under the light of the moon (hence moonshine) outrunning the law in the process. Several runners made names for themselves through out counties, and eventually the first race was held between them. The race was so popular, it became a sport. Ta DA!! NASCAR.[/quote]
The rest of them formed a union and became the teamsters.

I have seen this in "Mythbusters" (a TV show is a great reference I know :lol: ) and the people who tested it before were wrong in their conclusion. The sound waves of the echo are too similiar to the the sound waves of the original Quack sound so they did not recognize them in the first place.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=2] This phrase was coined many centuries ago when women used bees' wax on their faces to smooth the skin. If they sat too close to the fire, without the protection of a winged-back chair to block the heat from their faces, the wax would start to melt. At times it would be noticed that one of the women would be staring at another so she would say, "mind your own beeswax." If a woman would smile with bees' wax on her face it would crack. Hence, the phrase, "to crack a smile." [/SIZE][/FONT]
