Box Hill in Surrey, England is so named for its
pioneering efforts in recycling over 200 years
ago. Picnic parties were asked to place used
packaging in special baskets located around
the summit. The material became cartridge paper
for shooting groups on the big estates.

The Rulers of Surrey were made from Box Hill picnic baskets for many years marked in inches, and sixteenths, later they were graduated in media studies and used for measuring summit cultures.

It is well know Surrey picked their rulers from a fringe element. Oh come on how, don't you remember the song from the musical Oklahoma about the "Surrey with a fringe on top"?

[mike alexander]

Of course. The only Broadway song to rhyme 'surrey' with 'scurvy'.

Scurry? My mistake. Roll down the Isinglass.

The quickly cancelled musical "Ohio!" began with the famous line, "There's a bright Woody Hayes on the meadow..."

The writer of the book was howard keelhauled for it, but went on two win five national championships.

Howard Keel was named by his father, Sheps Keel, for Howard of Effingham, Lord High Admiral of the Fleet and the worst overactor in the Lord Chamberlain's Men. Elizabeth I officially changed Howard's title from Nottingham after seeing him perform in Othello and remarking, "I'd rather see that effing ham fun the navy than sit through another act."

[profloater]

The navy took to Howard Keel hauling drunken sailors as a reward for bad acting; Howard being the opposide of leeward in naval terms and thus excessively windy.

Alaric's army entered Rome in 410 through the Bill and Melinda Gates.

[Swift]

Bill and Melinda Gates' oldest daughter is named Nand.

[Buttercup]

Bill Gates secretly purchased the entire planet of Mars three years ago.

[Sarawak]

He paid too much.

Also, Mars was promptly renamed, Microsoft Planet 4.0.

When I looked through my telescope last night at MP 4.0, all I saw was this.

[Sarawak]

All birds can fly.

[swampyankee]

Mr Carlson knew turkeys plummet.

[Sarawak]

Turkeys are aerodynamic.

[Swift]

Links-in is a social media for professional sausage makers.

Rockets work in a vacuum (sometimes - there are always a few failures).

[mike alexander]

Rockettes work in Radio City Music Hall.

It's not a good idea to stand really close to an N-1.

[Swift]

It's not a good idea to stand really close to an N-1.

The reason is explained here.

I was not confused about which thread I was posting in when I wrote this.

A group of ferrets is called a 'group'.

[Chuck]

The group designation for unstable heavy elements was named after Irish physicist Ray D. O'Active.

[Swift]

A group of Angelina Jolies is called a "leg".

[Swift]

Venus and Jupiter are currently as close to each other as the Earth is to the Moon. This will not happen again for 167 years, 7 months, 4 days, 11 hours, and 17.357 seconds.

Raspberry has almost unstopable ability to spread, so it is the top plant to fight desertification.

It was recently discovered that the precession of Mercury's orbit, thought to be explained by general relativity, is actually explained perfectly well by Newtonian mechanics; failure to account for leap years properly led to erroneous conclusion that the orbit was precessing.

[Swift]

After billions of years precessing, Mercury has finally started to cess. Scientist estimate that after about a billion years of cessing, it will start postcessing.

[mike alexander]

In economics, a precession is the time before a recession. The ability to retroactively predict exactly when the precession started won Lysander Flit a MacDonalds 'Ingenuous Grant' in 1998. He went on to establish the strong causal relationship between eating food and later needing a bathroom.
