Re: There is an elephant on the loo!

The amount of information now available through the Internet, if formatted into books, would fill all the world's libraries nine times over.

Re: There is an elephant on the loo!

In May 1913 Hitler left Vienna for Munich and, when war broke out in August 1914, he joined the Sixteenth Bavarian Infantry Regiment, serving as a despatch runner. Hitler proved an able, courageous soldier, receiving the Iron Cross (First Class) for bravery, but did not rise above the rank of Lance Corporal. Twice wounded, he was badly gassed four weeks before the end of the war and spent three months recuperating in a hospital in Pomerania.
"Dr. Fritz Hubener was a rarity in Austrian 19th-century medicine. Against the dictates of the powerful Austrian Catholic Church, he advocated the right of women to terminate dangerous pregnancies, particularly when they were trapped in relationships with powerful, abusive men. One day, a woman named Klara came to him for medical advice. She was pregnant and frightened. Not the least of her fears was the manipulative fear of hell that had been put into her by a cold and uncaring parish priest. She was a timid girl and not sure she was ready to be a mother. Dr. Hubener was, at present, the only one who knew she was pregnant besides her. He urged her to terminate the pregnancy, but in the end, out of her fear of hell, Klara declined. Eight months later, her son, Adolf Hitler, was born."

Texas is also the only state that is allowed to fly its state flag at the same height as the U.S. flag.

90% of which is pure hokum. If you removed from the internet:
anything with more than one bang per paragraph
anything with unpredictable caps
anything with garish colors
anything with unexplained graphics/typeface/fontsize
Sigh! It would only make a small dent in the cr*p - but it would be a start

Re: There is an elephant on the loo!

I'm not sure if this is still true, but when my dad went to the University of Illinois (in the '80s), either Champaign or Urbana had a law on their books requiring all monsters to be out of town by nightfall.

It must be true as I googled it and found it on a site called "There is an elephant on the loo"

Intensive research has determined that chimpanzees were the ones that invented the "thumbs up" sign.
