Random facts just for the fun of it
« on: March 15, 2007, 06:03:58 PM »
Origins of the word "liquor":
Getting liquored up in the old days wasn’t nearly as much fun as it is now—the original Latin (liquorem) meant any liquid in general. It wasn’t until 1300 that it came to mean something you were wise to hide from your castle-mates.

What about 10 flagrant grammar mistakes that make you look stupid for the grammar and spelling nazis out there. I've been guilty of at least one of those... well two or three. Anyone has a perfect score in this?
Do not correct me, I know I am wrong.

You don't need your eyes to see: humans can master echolocation.
P(A|B) = P(B|A)*P(A)/P(B)

By the power of Bayes!
