stupid facts

[wedgewood]

What do Doc Hollywood, Knocked Up and Law and Order have in common? They all had a main character named Ben Stone. Also, my best friend years back bought his dope from a guy named Ben Stone who he called Ben Stoned. He called the kind bud Bill Kill. Not really sure why. But everything I've just written are stupid facts. Thought I'd share.

Why, when we send stuff by sea, it's cargo and when sent by land, it's a shipment?

Why don't they make the whole plane out of the black box ?

Gotta love that this factoid came from Flash. You're my hero.

And the ~ over an N is called a "Tilde". The name comes from the Latin "titulus", meaning a title, and is a relative of the Tittle. It was originally put over a letter as an abbreviation but is now a diacritic mark also known as the "swung dash, twiddle, or squiggle". Or, as I used to call it before I found about all of this, a "Senor", since it usually is seen in Spanish.

Because then the plane wouldn't be able to fly because of the weight. And, to add to it, the box is actually orange.

An addendum to the cargo thing, by sea, and by air, it's cargo.
