Did you know that Mattel used to make machine guns?
Yeah, Mattel. Ken, Barbie, GI Joe. THAT Mattel. How do you go from making machine guns to "Barbie's Tropical Dream House?"
Here's some more dumb ass trivia:
The average chocolate bar has 8 insects legs in it.
Marilyn Monroe had 6 toes.
If the population of China walked past you in a single file line, the line would never end becasue of the reproduction rate.
"I am." is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.
Over 2500 left-handed people are killed, annually, by using products designed for right-handed people.
A hummingbird weighs less than a US penny.
5% of Canadians don't know the first 7 words of "O Canada" but do know the first 9 words of "The Star-Spangled Banner."
There are no words in the dictionary that rhyme with: orange, purple, silver, and month.
In England, in the 1880's, the word "pants" was considered a dirty word.
Father's Day boasts the largest number of collect calls than any other day in the year.
10% of the Russian government's income comes from Vodka. The export of AK-47 assault rifles accounts for most of their GNP.
Only two people signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, John Hancock and Charles Thomson. Most of the rest signed on August 2, but the last signature wasn't added until 5 years later.
Actor Tommy Lee Jones and vice-president AL Gore were freshman roommates at Harvard.
The Eisenhower interstate system requires that one mile in every five must be straight. These straight sections are usable as airstrips in times of war or other emergencies.
Most American car horns honk in the key of F.
Every time you sneeze some of your brain cells die.
And last but not least:
The ball on top of a flagpole is called the truck. On military installation in the US, something is stored in the truck. Ten +2s to the first person to tell me what it is and why it's put there.
And now a Camwhore......

Good post but theres nothing in the ball its an urban legent but the legend goes a razor to cut the flag up, a match to light the flag and a bullet to shoot an enemy or yourself. the legend is based around that these items were to be used in case of a soviet invasion during the war. the things that ppl believe lol.

( Ive read a number of arguements about that, some people say it is, others say the shortest is simply "Go")
___________
'Go.' is not a complete sentence. A verb without a subject is incomplete.
'I am.' has a subject and a verb, making it complete.
___________
Actually, in commands the subject i often implied, o "Go," is a complete sentence, least in my book.

There are NICE PRS's, and NOT SO NICE PRS's.. just as there are NICE strats, and NOT SO NICE Strats (Fenders, whatever)

Yeah, Mattel. Ken, Barbie, GI Joe. THAT Mattel. How do you go from making machine guns to "Barbie's Tropical Dream House?"
( Ive found (with a whole 3 minutes of interwebs searching) no evidence for this other than they used to make TOY machine guns)
Here's some more dumb ass trivia:
The average chocolate bar has 8 insects legs in it.
( False, there is a legal maximum of insect PARTS that can be in food eg Peanut butter: Average of 30 or more insect fragments per 100 grams)
Marilyn Monroe had 6 toes.
( False: Urban Myth)
If the population of China walked past you in a single file line, the line would never end becasue of the reproduction rate.
( Probably true in the way that all stupid speculations of this nature are true, for a given value of "true")
"I am." is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.
( Ive read a number of arguements about that, some people say it is, others say the shortest is simply "Go")
Over 2500 left-handed people are killed, annually, by using products designed for right-handed people.
(Possibly true)
A hummingbird weighs less than a US penny.
(Which species, theres more than one type of hummingbird. A US penny weighs roughly 3 grams, the pargest hummingbird weighs around 24 grams. The smallest weighs about 2 grams. So this is "true", again for a given value of "true")
5% of Canadians don't know the first 7 words of "O Canada" but do know the first 9 words of "The Star-Spangled Banner."
(People are idiots so probably ture)
There are no words in the dictionary that rhyme with: orange, purple, silver, and month.
( True )
In England, in the 1880's, the word "pants" was considered a dirty word.
( Found plenty of sites claiming this but no actual evidence. They were sites that also had such "facts" as "In England, the Speaker of the House is not allowed to speak" which is total rubbish.
Father's Day boasts the largest number of collect calls than any other day in the year.
(Maybe, who cares)
10% of the Russian government's income comes from Vodka. The export of AK-47 assault rifles accounts for most of their GNP.
(Bollocks, what about all the oil and gas and shit. Total nonsense.)
Only two people signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, John Hancock and Charles Thomson. Most of the rest signed on August 2, but the last signature wasn't added until 5 years later.

The razor is to shred the flag, so it isn't desecrated.
The matches are to burn the remnants of the flag.
Since this is the last resort, the last man living is supposed to perform this action, and then chew on the bullet.

I had to replace a flagpole that was hit by lightning last month. The base shattered, and the flying stones broke windows two blocks away.
Anyway, I put a razor, a box of matches, and a .270 round in the ball on the top. It just threads on the pole. And, yes, I know it's not the correct caliber, but it's all that I had laying around the house.

a mexican strat is not so bad. even a shithead with a les paul still sounds like a shithead. ive herd guys play royal junk and get a wicked tone and a catchy riff (kurt cobain played dimestore junk and look where it got him - well, aside from BLAM!)if you play an LP through a shitty amp, it will sound like shit. if you play a sears roebuck vox copy (wish i had one) through a 100W marshall and you know how to play, you will get laid. expensive guitars are overated, though i would kill for a black beauty LP - ok, kill is to much, maim then.
i dont like fenders, i have a jap tele and never play it.
anyone want it? has a seymour duncan hot rail innit to get rid of that god awful nasal twang.
i can justify having an expendable guitar in an area where you may loose it, so +1 for thinkin.

Other dude,
Yes, it's a standard strat made in Mexico. The reason i have it is because I am in Afghanistan right now and I really didn't feel like having my nice SSH American Strat, nor my Les Paul out in this environment. So I bought that piece of junk coz if something happens to it out here, I wont be too disappointed.
