Lord give me the strength to carry this burden. Give me the physical task please, You know I have the muscles for it but in all honesty I ask for it because mentally I am beginning to break.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Random Facts I know, but cannot for the life of me figure out why...


1.) In a very early draft of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones carried brass knuckles instead of a bullwhip.

2.) Gustave Eiffel, designer of the Eiffel Tower, enjoyed a successful career as an architect despite having dyslexia and a paralyzing fear of heights.

3.) On Christmas Day, 1968, a scheduling mix up left Checkpoint Charlie unmanned for 12 hours.

4.) Adolph Hitler played chess daily. He always played the white pieces, and insisted on being allowed to replace one of his bishops with a second queen.

5.) The site where the Parthenon was built had to be cleared of hundreds of dinosaur bones (then called giants' bones) before construction could begin.

6.) The Red Baron wasn't particularly patriotic - he just wanted to fly. He applied to both the German Army Air Service and the British Royal Air Force.

7.) First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt was so convinced the White House was haunted that she kept a vial of holy water on her nightstand.

8.) The practice of shrinking heads, strongly associated with primitive tribes of South America, was also a common custom among the Knights Templar.

9.) Princess Diana had her navel pierced - and fitted with a 2.8-carat diamond stud - just a few hours before her fatal accident.

10.) The striped mittenfish, a deep water species recently discovered in the Java Sea, can change its sex at will by turning its entire body inside out.

11.) Archimedes endured a tragic fate at the hands of drunken Roman soldiers. After forcing him to cut off and eat his own nose, they boiled him in oil.

12.) Timothy Leary was afraid of barbers. He learned to cut his own hair at the age of nine, and never again visited a barbershop.

13.) The lion used in the original MGM movie logo killed its trainer and two assistants the day after the logo was filmed.

14.) In 2004, a lab at a university in Texas received a $6 million federal grant to breed radioactive armadillos for possible use in warfare.

15.) In 1903, a stone phallus weighing 2.2 tons was unearthed in rural Ohio.

16.) Sesame seeds were so prized during the Middle Ages that in some parts of the world they were worth their weight in gold.

17.) The face of Uncle Sam, the fictional personification of the United States, was modeled after a door-to-door salesman from Canada.

18.) At the 2006 World Gourmand Expo, Asian desserts took last place in every category: taste, texture, aroma, appearance and presentation.

19.) Roman governor Pontius Pilate had a tattoo of an angel across his back.

29.) Nomadic herdsmen of northern Africa commonly used the "Pythagorean theorem" two centuries before Pythagoras was born.


That concludes today's little segment of "Shit I know...but why do I know this shit?"
