The swastika was associated with the hammer of Thor which returned to him like a boomerang, the footprints of Buddha, the emblem of Shiva, Apollo, Jupiter, and even Jesus Christ! The swastika was the first Christian symbol and is found in the catacombs in Rome. Hindus and Buddhists to this day still revere the swastika as their sacred sign. Jains make the sign of the swastika similar to the Christian sign of the cross. In the early part of the twentieth century Rudyard Kipling used the swastika as his coat-of-arms, Coca Cola made a swastika-shaped lucky watch fob, American pilots used it on their planes when they fought for the French in World War One, it was the symbol for the Ladies Home Journal sponsored Girls' Club and the Boy Scouts. A town in Ontario was named Swastika in 1911 because of a lucky gold strike.

false story. His last remaining servant heard him.
The servant was nowhere near the scene though. Kane is clearly alone as he dies. He says "Rosebud", drops the snow globe and croaks. Alone. It's the nurse entering the room who discovers he's died.

The servant's line that he heard him say "Rosebud" seems tacked on.

Perhaps Welles realised he'd made the mistake and corrected it in the film, but the fact remains that although the servant says he was there, Kane died alone.

Felicity, California is the official Center of the World.

Not according to Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_points_of_the_world

Centre
Since the Earth is a near-sphere, its center (the core) is of course thousands of miles beneath its crust. However, one could perhaps consider the intersection of the Equator and Prime Meridian, located at the coordinates of zero degrees by zero, to be the "centre" of the human world, especially when viewed on a map. This point is located in the Atlantic Ocean approximately 120 miles (~193 km) south of Accra, Ghana, in the Gulf of Guinea.

Some people, perhaps tongue-in-cheek, have claimed certain cities to be the centre of the Earth or of the universe. One such claimant is the small town of Felicity, California, in the far southeast corner of the state, where a "Center of the World Pyramid" stands. Local resident and children's book author Jacques-Andres Istel convinced officials in China, France, and Imperial County, California (in which Felicity is located), that Felicity is legally and officially the centre of the world.

Surrealist artist Salvador Dali made an even more ambitious claim; that the train station of Perpignan, France, is the centre of the universe. On the platform is painted « perpignan centre du monde » (French for "perpignan centre of the world") 1.

In the 1990s, a local artist posted a sign in a neighborhood of Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA, identifying it as "East Hills: Center of the Universe". The sign stood for years, until the construction of a new retail development at that site, named "East Hills Center (of the Universe)". Official banners throughout the business district matter-of-factly echo the claim.

Driving along the highway from the airport just outside of Toronto towards Toronto you will see at least 3 signs telling you how far it is to Algonquin Park. Algonquin Park is at least a 3 hour drive from the airport if you remain close to the legal speed limit. No other Ontario attraction has that many signs along the highway from the airport telling you how far it is, even though Ontario Place, the CN Tower, the Royal Ontario Museum, the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Ontario Science Centre are all much closer (in the city of Toronto).

I dated the granddaughter of the man who invented Kool-Aid.I seriously used to live in the town where kool-aid was invented (Haystacks, Nebraska--don't ever move there.:o), and the Kool-aid man would walk around the grocery store. I would walk up to him, about 11 I think, and i would say "say 'oh yeah':mad:", and he'd be all like "goddamnit kid, no I hate you." And then I'd kick him and be like "say 'oh yeah'!:mad::mad:" and then he'd go "OH YEAH!" And then I'd get an orgasm. True story. :):up:

40,000 Americans are injured by toilets each year.(Wtf...?How does that happen...?)

According to Wikipedia:

In young boys, one of the most common causes of genital injury is when the toilet seat falls down while using the toilet
.
Smaller children run the risk of drowning if they fall headfirst into the toilet.

Injuries to adults include bruised buttocks, tail bones, and dislocated hips from unsuspectingly sitting on the toilet bowl rim due to failure to ensure that the toilet seat was down.

Other injuries can be caused by the feet slipping or the toilet bowl collapsing under the weight of the occupant.

Pinch injuries can also occur due to splits in plastic seats, and to the various parts of a seat in different configurations.

Older high flush cast iron cisterns have been known to detach from the wall when flushed (by pulling a chain) causing injuries to the user.

Injuries are frequently sustained by people standing on toilet seats to reach a height.

There are also instances of people slipping on a wet bathroom floor, or from a bath and concussing themselves on the fitment.

It's actually VERY easy to lick your elbow. When you put your arm in a right angle, the right angle IS your elbow, albeit your interior elbow which is VERY lickable.

While there is no limit to how hot things can get (look at Angelina Jolie!), there is a limit to how cold they can be. This is minus 273,15 degrees centigrade (minus 459.67 degrees Fahrenheit) or zero degrees Kelvin: the absolute zero. Things can not get any colder than that. The reason for this is that at this temperature all kinetic motion within particles ceases. At absolute zero, matter contains no heat energy whatsoever. It is impossible to reach this temperature on earth, although scientific experiments have been conducted to reach the absolute zero as closely as possible within controlled circumstances.

Toronto Ranks Third In The List of The World's Most Polite Cities

Tuesday June 20, 2006

Toronto The Good.

Remember when the city was known around the world by that phrase?

Well, despite the summer of the gun, SARS, downloading, amalgamation and just about everything else you can think of, we apparently still retain some of that cachet.

At least according to a new survey.

Reader's Digest conducted a test in 35 cities across the globe to test the courtesy level of the people who lived there. And Toronto placed third overall in being the most polite.

The test researchers used to determine this rare ranking may raise a few eyebrows. They walked into public buildings 20 times to see who would hold open a door; they measured how many times store clerks said 'thanks' after a small purchase; and they dropped a folder filled with papers on a city street to see if anyone would help a stranger pick up the mess.

The result: Toronto came up with a 70 percent 'niceness' rating when all the incidents were added together.
