1. Money isn't made out of paper, it's made out of cotton.

There are two types of money, specie, which is made of metal, and currency, which is made of paper; the fact that the paper in US currency isn't made of wood pulp but of rag doesn't stop it from being paper; it is certainly not cloth.

Pulp paper with its high acid content is a relatively recent invention; the original papers were all rag and they are still flexible and unyellowed after 500 years, while crappy 70's books on pulp paper have nearly all self-destructed. And the red and blue threads in the rag paper of US currency are silk.

35. Human males have the smallest penis in the animal kingdom.:dong:

36. Only two things make human superior to other animals...

a) Animals only think of sex when it is time to breed, and humans think of sex all the time! (especially the males)

b) Humans have the ability to destroy the planet!

I didn't know Russian witches had pointy hats! I thought they lived in huts built on chicken's legs.

I adapted what I said for local culture - not much people from Russia here.

As for huts with chicken's legs. Yes. In Russian tales it is called izbushka na kur'ih nozhkah (избушка на курьих ножках).

Like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk7Aum9dNkw) ;)?

PS. Oh, I'm quickly going offtopic here. 🍑👋

A mechanical compass in a plastic case will not work in a Hybrid car, if the car is either using its' electric motors or generating electricity.
