Random, impulsive from-the-hip...facts

[english si]

Now I know why my size 12 shoes always fit so tightly.

Stop perpetuating the clowns' lie that big feet = big penis: if we give it airtime, more mums will believe it and pay these sadistic creeps to spend time with their children just so they can get close the supposedly massive man meat! Think of the CHILDRUUUN!

Speaking of which: Coulrophobia, outside of actual properly phobic reactions to clowns (panic attacks, an inability to be near them, etc), is a perfectly natural reaction to the unchanging smile on a clown's face (for it is that what is scary). And their sadism, of course!

I've only found two clowns funny: this chap (played by that guy) : crazy evil and openly blatant about it and Mr Jelly, who is as depressing as he feels depressed. Both have some sort of integrity of emotions (and the dark tones of the fictional works they were in helped a lot).

My region is named Aragon, which is only two letters away from Oregon. In fact, we have a show on the regional TV named Oregón Televisión, and sometimes I call this region like the state.

Madison, Wisconsin has the world's only mid-water crossing of two rail lines.

I really doubt this. Especially seeing as Madison's crossing is actually on fill, not bridge.

Yeah, you could count the whole Meadowlands on that basis.

I wear size 13 shoes. That certainly does not translate to any other part of my anatomy.

And my feet have been spreading/growing as I age. Unfortunately...

Supposedly the larger a man's foot, the bigger his penis [...] As a straight male, I have no evidence to prove nor disprove this...

Even if you were a gay man (or a straight woman)......I, for one, would still find it odd that you had taken the time to measure your partners' feet and penises over a period of time sufficient enough to notice a trend.

Where did I ever say it was via a bridge?

And if you doubt the information, contact Stuart D. Levitan, as it is also published in his book Madison: The Illustrated Sesquicentennial History, Volume 1. Incidentally, I was told this information before I read it in the book.

The length of your foot is said to be equal to the distance between your wrist and your elbow.

I just held my feet up against my arms while sitting on the couch and found this to be untrue (although I'm sure the "is said" part may have some truth).

Actually, it isn't true for me, either. But I thought perhaps my discrepancy could be explained by my birth defect and that it might be true for others. I don't remember where I read that but I guess it seemed legitimate and it was the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw this thread. Anyway, I think it's cool that you were curious enough to investigate it for yourself.

May it rest in peace.

Another rule of thumb about body measurements:  your height at age 2 is half your eventual adult height, while your height at age 3 is either 60% or 55% of your adult height (depending on whether you are a boy or girl).

I tried my damnedest to take a picture but just couldn't contort myself that far and I don't want to ask my wife to do it for me!

Big Bone Lick State Park is the only... you know.

[amroad17]

Yes, I know--considering I live only 20 miles from it.

I like Hungry Mother State Park in VA. I have never been there, but I am certain I would like it.

All banana trees that are currently used to grow fruit for popular consumption are genetically identical, essentially clones of each other.  The only way that they reproduce is through cuttings.

That is pretty much the only way I reproduce, as well.
