Did you know . . . ?
« on: November 21, 2016, 10:09:56 AM »
Oxford University is older than the Aztec Empire.

In 1923, jockey Frank Hayes won a race at Belmont Park in New York despite being dead.

In 1993, San Francisco declared that Police Officer Bob Geary was allowed to patrol while carrying a ventriloquist’s dummy called Brendan O’Smarty.

That's just ridiculous. Who calls their dummy Brendan O'Smarty?
I apologise, in advance.

Bob Geary. Pay attention.
