In my email today: INTERESTING FACTS
Did you know that the words "race car" spelled backwards still spells "race car"?

That "eat" is the only word that, if you take the 1st letter and move it to the last, spells its past tense, "ate"?


And if you rearrange the letters in "so-called tea party Republicans," and add just a few more letters, it spells: "Shut the fuck up you free-loading, progress-blocking, benefit-grabbing, resource-sucking, violent, hypocritical douche bags, and deal with the facts that you nearly wrecked the country under Bush and that our president is black."

Isn’t that interesting?

1. More interesting facts
Did you know that many major league baseball teams are known by nicknames that are actually shortened versions of their original nicknames? It's true! The Cincinnati Reds were originally known as the Redlegs. The New York Mets were originally the Metropolitans. And, of course, Yankees is short for Yankeessuck.

7. LOL I think that correlates to my posts. So just thinking outloud
Edited on Wed Aug-18-10 02:12 PM by RandomThoughts
I have done some fun things with words like that. It has the 'interesting' also a word I say often, and Bob is same forward and backwards.

Plus, some people have told me to shut up before. Maybe its Glenn Beck again and a comment on 8 pennies? And some post on Glenn lately have been trying to pick a fight.

Although the stuff with words, there are thousands of ways to see things like that.

However I am not a Republican Tea partier, nor the other things in that meaning.


I find post like that really interesting. They have some correlations, but then flip and miss the whole idea or point with false attribute attachments. But they are fascinating, I have no reason to fight anyone, so not worried about such stuff.

I would guess some people do not see what I think or post, or try to add to what I think or post by such comments. I also have seen a few post in a row trying to get a reaction.

And of coarse there is the idea of use of correlation to get someone to post, I wonder why though.

Hmmm....


Note, Someone, but not anyone, needs to correct issues still. Although nobody exist that is responsible for that. Funny thing that is. And the irony is terrific. And although of coarse I don't do anything, that would be narcissistic to think that, as would replying to your post possibly be, and if someone were to threaten such destruction, it would not matter, I don't worry about such things.


To the actual poster if that was not your intent, this post is not to you.
