Title: The "Did you Know" Thread
Post by: Tenshot13 on February 19, 2014, 01:44:13 pm
Figured it would be fun to start a "did you know" thread.  Post any little thing that you think other people might not know.

-Did you know Miller Lite (96) actually has less calories than Bud Select (99)?

Did you know Tampa's Bayshore Boulevard is touted as the world's longest countinuous sidewalk?  There is a pier close by I fish at.  It's also where all the rich A-holes in Tampa live.

I like this thread!  Great idea!

Did you know the $100 bill is the largest denomination that has been printed since July 14, 1969, when the denominations of $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 were retired.

They were included in the credits for the films, so if you include that as part of the film, it was mentioned.

Did you know that in Texas, until 2008, it was illegal to own a dildo, pocket pussy, or any other device that is designed primarily used for sexual stimulation?  And yes, people did sometimes get prosecuted for possession of these dangerous, evil devices.

First you question Strokes post (btw, he posted the most expensive car, not buggy), now you're wanting people to cite their facts?

How about you Google it buddy, and instead of being a wet blanket, participate.
