RANDOM TIDBITS OF INFORMATION!

Corn was the first fully genetically engineered plant. Its seeds do not leave the plant without human aid, so it could not survive without cultivation. It was engineered from teosinte, which is completely useless as a food. Scientists still have no idea how it was done.

When the Roman Empire left England, the Britons were taken over by two tribes: the Anglos and the Saxons. There may have been a third tribe called the Jutes as well, but they're scarcely documented. The Britons outnumbered their invaders at least 1000 to 1, but they lost or didn't put up much of a fight anyway. As a result, the land became more primitive, and it took the people there over 1000 years to rediscover indoor plumbing.

When rooms were "invented" in England, people loved them. Some rich people expanded their houses to have hundreds of rooms, and many of them were specifically for the servants. The servants, by the way, were essentially equal to the family before the advent of rooms, but as the number of rooms increased, the respect for servants decreased.

The most popular guide to housekeeping in the 800s in England was completely and totally plagiarized.

Ice was shipped to England from America, but the English had no idea what to do with the stuff. So they just watched it melt.

I should start a "I'm Horny" thread...

Why bother with a thread, they have entire websites devoted to that stuff.

I remember when I was 14 and I thought, "I can't wait until I'm older and can satisfy all these urges with a woman. Then I won't be so incredibly pent up and hell bent on sex all the time". Man was I naive.

As usual, I do not apologize for how incredible absurd this post is.
