I thought they called that being Irish? I used to eat bits of raw potato when I was a kid. My mother always said it would make me sick, but it never did. Unless... Maybe that is why I turned out this way! Damn your eyes, you tasty tubers!!! I use to, and still do like Raw Taters. Use to, eat slices as I was Loadin my Potato gun. No ****. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Posted August 2, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 2, 2021 The Olympic world record for the longest human long jump is greater than the world record for longest horse long jump. Mike Powell set the record in 1991 by jumping 8.95 meters, and the horse Extra Dry set the record in 1900 by jumping 6.10 meters. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can move as much as 7 inches. Does the Statue of Liberty do this at all? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly the water swirling out goes one direction in toilets north of the equator and opposite hand south of the equator. Can’t recall which is clockwise. The source was silent about water swirling direction for toilets precisely on the equator. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eiffel Tower's is a simple iron structure whose superstructure is exposed to the sun, which can act directly on it. The Statue of Liberty is a copper-clad iron frame. Any metal will expand and contract with temperature changes, but I doubt if the two structures react in the same way to sun exposure. I wonder if the Statue of Liberty has problems with fatigue cracks forming at the rivet points, since the copper skin expands and contracts at a different rate than the iron frame? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
