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 mad efrom honey, and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the "honey month", or what we know today as the "honeymoon".

The american Abrams M1 Main Battle Tank uses 10 Galleons of fuel .... to warm up, before it can go anywhere . Slightly worse fuel economy than an average yank SUV :blink:

not that it's a fact, but i find it kinda magical...

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate

(more than once but less than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2

3. Add 5

4. Multiply it by 50

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1756 .

If you haven't, add 1755.

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.

You should have a three digit number.

The first digit of this was your original number

(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).

The next two numbers are

YOUR AGE!

well i thought it was clever!

Tried this twice, first time I was younger than what I am next time I was ten years older. never was any good at maths but I'l take the first result as correct.
