Some call him the "unluckiest man in the world". But the two events he survived also make him the luckiest

Agreed,

Nice to see someone actually read the story instead of just thumbing down without reading.

The surprising history of "Blue for Boys, Pink for Girls". When do you think it became a concept?

There was a time when it was believed women couldn't travel at speeds of 50 MPH or more. The reason why will have you howling.

I found this quite funny that is the way men thought back then. Of course it was years before women got to vote, but that is another story.

Do you know what a barber's pole represents? In the past, they did far more than just cut hair...

That if people wanted to “know” about quirky things they could just go to the website themselves?🤔 I’m no techie but this thread must take up a lot of “digital space”.

Thanks for your point of view on this thread.

Same could be said about the Last Word Game, and many other threads much longer than mine. (Should we remove ALL OF THEM?)

I will tell you like I've told others don't look at it if you don't want to contribute something of any value, being critical is of no value. Perhaps a few green thumbs for you if that is what you're looking for. 😉

Have A Great Day!

As I said, I’m no techie but, don’t videos take up a lot more of the “room” that a bunch of letters?🤔

A better question to ask a tech guy, perhaps Russ?

So do you think all videos should be removed also?

Videos are linked in from other servers, so they aren't using any storage or bandwidth from RHP's server(s) / server cluster / mega-AI that's about to pop and achieve quantum sentience.

Johnny Carson's side kick for years on the Tonight show! 😉

There are lots of things on here that I am sure people didn't know, but don't bother to take the time to read it, just give it a thumb down, which is sad.
