Post facts, 'Nuff said.

The eariest non-locked thread in the "Games" Board is Neverending Sentence, started by Viper on August 5th, 2006.

That being typed, The latest locked thread in the "Games" Board is Corrupt a Wish, started by desertshadow75 on January 17th, 2012. The thread was also fairly short-lived, lasting a whole 34 minutes.

That is four minutes shorter than the world's shortest war.

Fact: The Pant Devil is highly irritating. :thumbsdown: Oh, you want real facts. Well, today in history, the first color TV was manufactured. The screen was 12 1/2 inches and cost $1000. :headset:

The longest web address in the world is llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobllllantysiliogogogochuchaf.com. Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobllllantysiliogogogoch is a town in Wales, and is also the longest place name in Europe, and the suffix,

-uchaf, means upper, so it is referring to the upper, or the older, part of the town. You can also reach the site using www.longestintheworld.com.

 

(No, I didn't copy and paste any of that.)

Fact: The International Date Line is not actually straight. It bends a little to have small groups of islands have the same time zone.
