The oldest “your mom” joke was discovered on a 3,500 year old Babylonian tablet.
The text read: “...of your mother is by the one who has intercourse with her. What/who is it?” There was no response on the tablet.

The average person walks the equivalent of five times around the world in their lifetime.
Ants leave maps for other ants when they walk.
Ketchup was a medicine in the early 1800s.
Grapes are fatally toxic to cats and dogs – even in small amounts.
Before 1913, you could legally mail a baby.
The first death in the American Civil War was a horse.
In the 18th Century, Napoleon and Benjamin Franklin were both defeated at chess by a machine.
Russia was founded by a group of Viking traders called the Rus.
In 1912, a French orphanage held a raffle, with babies as the prize.
If you fell into a volcano, you’d float on the lava instead of melting.
Research shows that everyone has up to 6 doppelgängers.

Stick it in a box, poke a few holes in it for air vents (hopefully remember that part), slap a few postage stamps on and pop it in the mailbox? How does that work exactly? They really didn't care much for kids around this time, did they? Or was there a surplus? Gave 'em away at raffles too, huh? |

Catman has never seen The Wizard of Oz in black-and-white. Catdad scored one of the first color TVs in town when a good friend won it in a raffle.

In 1923, jockey Frank Hayes won a race at Belmont Park in New York despite being dead — he suffered a heart attack mid-race, but his body stayed in the saddle until his horse crossed the line for a 20–1 outsider victory.
