United Kingdom Car Registration Plates

April 10th 2008 10:52

Just a little something we noticed recently about car registration plates in the UK. They all have a white plate on the front of the car and a yellow on the back? Hmmm.....

You can also tell a lot about somebody's car from their licence plate over here - it's built into the numbers and lettering of the plates as to the year model of the car, the time of year it was originally registered at and the region the car was purchased.

UnRhymable Words

February 25th 2008 10:37

There are some words in the English language for which there is absolutely no rhyming counterpart. you might think that I'm talking about some obscure word in the dictionary like agathokakological. But no, I'm actually talking about common, every day, garden variety, words.

Levi's are NOT Really Jeans!

February 13th 2008 10:15

When Levi Strauss invented jeans during the late 1800's, he did not call his 'strange' pants denim jeans or even jeans at all.

Supposedly these strange trousers were originally made out of sailcloth and canvas for miners and prospectors to wear as they had been complaining about how their ordinary pants would stretch and split while on the job.

January 13th 2008 00:05

With so many people living all over the world and with so much of our planet consisting of water, if you had to make a guess at the world time zone in which most people live, where do you imagine it would be?
