The hummingbird, the loon, the swift, the kingfisher, and the grebe are all birds that cannot walk. 4. If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes. 5. When a female horse and male donkey mate, the offspring is called a mule, but when a male horse and female donkey mate, the offspring is called a hinny. 6.There are four cars and eleven light posts on the back of a ten-dollar bill.

Apathy Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 P.S., If you carefully fold the front of the bill, the message reads, "Gal Tender and Private," an old trick to get into brothels (at least that's what I've heard! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
