In 1960, GM gave all three Mercury 7 astronauts—Alan Shepard, Gus Grissom, and Chuck Yeager—brand new Corvettes as a publicity stunt.

Re: Share your little know fact ..Here is mine
Is a rule still a rule if no one has ever heard of it?

More often than not when they repave secondary roadways they just stripe a single solid yellow the entire length and don't bother remarking the hashes. Guess its somehow cheaper or faster to get done that way. So if you need to pass, pass if you can see down the road cause you sure won't like it if you are waiting for a hash line to appear as it won't for miles. |

Re: Share your little know fact ..Here is mine
Some ag facts. Most everyone probably knows when you cross a male donkey and a female horse you get a mule. But when you cross a male horse and a female donkey you get a hinny. Both will be sterile. Twin calves born to a cow will be fertile if they are the same sex but if born a bull and a heifer the heifer will be sterile. She is called a free martin.

Re: Share your little know fact ..Here is mine
I would think that GM enthusiasts (like those around here) would know this, but it was a long time ago, so maybe not?
The first letter of all of the GM X-body cars spells NOVA Nova- Chevrolet Omega- Oldsmobile Ventura- Pontiac Apollo- Buick

Re: Share your little know fact ..Here is mine
I don't use an electric can opener and I learned a flawless way to open cans where you always get the whole lid off clean every time. Take the can opener and turn it a quarter turn so it is cutting into the side under the lid and not the top. BINGO!

Re: Share your little know fact ..Here is mine
Here's the way to identify pine species beyond type of needle. The needles grow in clusters at their base. White pine will have 5 to a cluster, for instance, and another pine you would think is a white pine might only have 2. Pitch pine has 3 and Virginia has 2 but shorter. You need a guide of course

Re: Share your little know fact ..Here is mine
Your farmhouse's red exterior is probably paying homage to an old-fashioned tradition.
It's not a coincidence that barns and many farmhouses are painted red. "Farmers didn't have a lot of money to buy paint, and so they started to experiment with what they had on hand: skimmed milk, lime, and red iron oxide—also known as rust,"

Re: Share your little know fact ..Here is mine
Not sure if it's still acceptable to do so but in Texas people will steer over to the shoulder of the road to allow traffic to pass without leaving the right lane.
Maybe some Texans can chime in and confirm this.

Deer kill more people in America every year than any other animal.

My first job involved a lot of travel and I got to meet people from all over the country. One guy from Missouri had a Suburban and a travel trailer. He was dumbstruck when Texans pulled over to let other traffic pass. He just could not believe they would do such a thing, thought they were crazy. I said it sounded like they are courteous. I could picture him trundling along with a line of frustrated Texans stacking up behind him.

Re: Share your little know fact ..Here is mine
I still see it if (and do it) if you get waaayyyyy out of the big cities into rural Texas. Folks would also use the shoulder to accelerate up to speed before merging into the lane, or pull off to the shoulder to make right turns.

Re: Share your little know fact ..Here is mine
That is a little misleading though. While I suppose that someone has been killed directly by a deer (gored or maybe kicked?) I would be willing to bet that the vast majority of those deaths are from vehicle crashes, either from a direct strike or running off of the road to avoid them.

Re: Share your little know fact ..Here is mine
I always said statistics never tell the true story. They tell their own story. How many horses killed people vs injuries from accidents that occurred from riding one?
