    I had a professor who taught a class, "Fishs, a resource",.. he said theoretically, a carp (goldfish), frozen in ice, can absorb enough oxygen through it's fins to live for three days,.. thaw the ice and the fish swims away.

    For extra credit, he challenged his students to test that theory,.. he said in 27 years of teaching, not one fish survived.

    There is a portion of the Gettysburg National Battlefield - about an acre, at the site where Pickett's Charge began - that is legally part of the State of North Carolina. NC bought it early in the 20th century to put up their battlefield monument, then decided not to sell it back to Pennsylvania. North Carolina pays local people to tend the grounds, and though tour guides may take groups through the property, the National Park Service maintenance is not allowed.

    Should be illegal nationwide, just kidding but its stealing talent that could go to truly American sports. Besides they kill each other at major soccer events.

    I think most soccer players in this country are kids that aren't very good at football or basketball. And some whose mommys won't let them play football because the might get a bruise or a boo boo.

    I think both are true and the boo boo thing is the sissyfication of males world wide.
