Post Something Interesting

A 7 year old boy asked his father for bass lessons. Father made the arrangements, and the teacher was just down the street, so the boy could walk to the lessons. The first week he came home the father asked him “What did you learn at your lesson.” “I learned C today.” Father said Great!

The next week the boy came home from his Bass lesson, and the father asked “What did you learn this week?” And the boy said “I learned G.” Father said Great!

The third week, the boy came home and the father asked “What did you learn this week?” and the boy answered, “I learned F.” Father said Great!

The fourth week, the boy was late coming home from the lesson. After an hour the father got worried and called the teacher. No answer. He walked down to the teacher’s house and knocked on the door, but no one was home, and no car was in the driveway. After two hours, still no child and the father was really worried. He called the police. The police came and took his information, a photo of the boy and said they’d be in touch as soon as they could. Then they left.

About 11 pm the boy returned home, lugging his bass. The father yelled “WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN????”

The boy answered, “I had a gig.”

When Hitler became Chancellor, he announced that he would not draw a salary, but instead donate it all to charity.

What he did not reveal to the public was that he was receiving 'backhanders' and expenses from the German taxpayer to the tune of millions of Reichsmarks per year.

For example, he ordered the German Post Office to put his face on their stamps, and personallly charged them a royalty of RM 50 million for the privilege.

Every German couple getting married received a free copy of Mein Kampf, paid for by the state. Hitler was paid a royalty on each copy, worth RM 1.2 million in 1933 alone. In total, he earned around RM 7.8 million from the book, and most people didn't buy it voluntarily.

Hitler's palatial manor house, the Berghof at Berchtesgaden, was paid for by the state. As were his three private aircraft, his cars and his personal train.

The add on loo extension at my grandmas house was always cold and had a collection of daddy long leg spiders, some living, some dead.
I didn't linger too long when I went in there, but it was an upgrade on the outside toilet block at the bottom of the street tbf.
 
Are there 8 continents now?

Zealandia is an almost entirely submerged mass of continental crust in Oceania that subsided after breaking away from Gondwana 83–79 million years ago. It has been described variously as a submerged continent, continental fragment, and microcontinent. The name and concept for Zealandia was proposed by Bruce Luyendyk in 1995, and satellite imagery shows it to be almost the size of Australia A 2021 study suggests Zealandia is over a billion years old.
By approximately 23 million years ago, the landmass may have been completely submerged. Today, most of the landmass (94%) remains submerged beneath the Pacific Ocean. New Zealand is the largest part of Zealandia that is above sea level, followed by New Caledonia

Today - 21st of August - in 1920 was the birthdate of Christopher Robin ( surname Milne, son of A.A. ) - yep that is he of Winnie the Pooh and They're Changing the Guards at Buckingham Palace poem. Something I find quite enchanting.
