| | What do you think of Ronald Reagan on the Fifty Dollar Bill? | | I just heard that people in congress are considering putting Ronald Reagan's face on the Fifty Dollar bill. I guess it is in celebration of one hundred years of his birthdate. I thought it might be a good idea, yet I also know people are accustomed to having President Ulysses S. Grant. Do you think this is okay to do? Who do you think has a better picture or profile? | |
| | The Rebel Flag and Joe Wilson | | With the talk of Joe Wilson and former President Jimmy Carter calling him a racist I looked for some info on the flag because of some comments here and in the media.First some quotes from Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flags_of_the_Confederate_States_of_America"The Confederate FlagThe "Confederate Flag", a 20th century combination of the Battle Flag's colors with the Second Navy Jack's design. Actual historical flags of the CSA have become more obscure.
What is now often called "The Confederate Flag" or "The Confederate Battle Flag" (actually a combination of the battle flag's colors with the Second Navy Jack's design), despite its never having historically represented the CSA as a nation, has become a widely recognized symbol of the South. It is also called the "rebel", "Southern Cross, or "Dixie" flag, and is often incorrectly referred to as the "Stars and Bars" (the actual "Stars and Bars" is the First National Flag, which used an entirely different design).
During the first half of the 20th century the Confederate flag enjoyed renewed popularity. During World War II some U.S. military units with Southern nicknames, or made up largely of... | |
| | an English question | | In the sentence "He met with President Ulysses S.Grant and poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, among others, to promote his project and figure out, as he said,"if the dream could become reality.", can I turn "met with" at the beginning of the sentence into "met",and what's the meaning of "among others"? | |
| | Do you believe in myths? add some more myths plzz. | | One legend claims stealing someone's shadow (by measuring it against a wall and driving a nail through its head) can turn the victim into a vampire.Avoid people who talk to themselves. According to Ukrainian legend, that could indicate a dual soul and the second one doesn't die! Also watch out for the seventh son of a seventh son, a person born with a red caul (amniotic membrane covering the head), or a child born with teeth. A vampire can result if a cat or dog walks over a fresh grave, a bat flies over the corpse, or the person has died suddenly as a result of suicide or murder. Unfinished business can also cause a body to rise, as can inadequate burial rites, including a grave that is too shallow.Most vampires are described in folklore as flushed and ruddy, with swollen bodies and bloated faces. Often, they can be identified because they're sitting up in the grave.According to folklore, there are a number of ways to protect yourself from vampires, including the ever-popular wearing of garlic or a religious symbol. You can slow a vampire down by giving him something to do, like pick up poppy seeds or unravel a net. (They're quite compulsive.) Cross water and he can't... | |
| | Bizarre Presidential Facts | | I subscribe to "Bizarre News Newsletter this is on their page today. I thought it interesting also.+--------------- Bizarre Presidential Facts ---------------+ Abraham Lincoln did not write the Gettysburg Address on
the back of an envelope. In fact, he worked on that
address for two weeks. It was Cicero, not President John F. Kennedy, who first
said words to the effect of, "Ask not what your country
can do for you, but what you can do for your country." Some scholars believe Andrew Jackson was born at sea in
1755, not 1767, and thus was not eligible to be president
of the U.S. However, at least two states, North Carolina
and South Carolina, claim his birth place, about a mile
apart. In 1824, Andrew Jackson received more popular votes than
John Adams, yet lost the election. The vote was so close
that neither candidate received a majority of the
electoral votes. The decision then went to the House of
Representatives, which elected Adams. Zachary Taylor, twelfth president of the U.S., did not
vote until he was sixty-two. He did not even vote in his
own election. President Ulysses S. Grant was once arrested during
his term of... | |

| | Franz Ferdinand Rocks but What Does Ulysses Mean? | | I don't know if this is a dumb question or not but I will ask anyhow. Franz Ferdinand is an awesome band and I think the song Ulysses is very cool but... What exactly is the song about? I'm assuming it's about some kind of drug or something but I could be wrong. Does anyone know? | |
