A history professor friend of ours submitted the following for our enlightenment:
Railroad tracks, words of wisdom………….
This is fascinating.
Be sure to read the final paragraph; your understanding of it will depend on the earlier part of the content.
The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number.
Why was that gauge used? Because that's the way they built them in England , and English expatriates built the US railroads.
Why did the English build them like that? Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that's the gauge they used.
Why did 'they' use that gauge then? Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing.
Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing? Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break on some of the old, long distance roads in England , because that's the spacing of the wheel ruts.
So who built those old rutted roads? Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (and England ) for their legions. The roads have been used ever since.
And the ruts in the roads? Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear of destroying their wagon wheels. Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome , they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing. Therefore the United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot. Bureaucracies live forever.
So the next time you are handed a Specification/Procedure/Process and wonder 'What horse's ass came up with it?' you may be exactly right. Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the rear ends of two war horses (two horses' asses.) Now, the twist to the story:
When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRB's. The SRB's are made by Thiokol at their factory in Utah . The engineers who designed the SRB's would have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRB's had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains, and the SRB's had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses' behinds.
So, a major Space Shuttle design feature of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse's ass.
And you thought being a horse's ass wasn't important?
"Ancient Horse's Asses" control almost everything... and - "Current Horses Asses" are controlling everything else.
And that brings us to the congress of the United States.
One other thing, the entrance to the office of the Speaker of the House and Senate Majority leader is 4’ 8-1/2”

That’s the funniest thing I’ve read in a while. LOL!
Hey, I work with those horses’ asses, too!
A Lady Named Irena
I researched this and it's definitely true, as much as I hate it (read through to the end, please). That's okay, though; those things done in secret, God shall reward openly. Her day is coming, and she'll get a better prize than Nobel.
Amazing story - great lady
A Lady Named Irena
There recently was a death of a 98 year old lady named Irena.
During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw Ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist.
She had an ulterior motive...
As a German she KNEW what the Nazi's plans were for the Jews.
Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried. In the back of her truck was a Burlap sack, (for larger kids).
She also had a dog in the back. She trained the dog to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in, and out of the ghetto.
The soldiers of course wanted nothing to do with the dog, and the barking covered the kids/infants noises.
During her time and course of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants.
She was caught, and the Nazi's broke both her legs, and arms, and beat her severely.
Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out, and kept them in a glass jar, buried under a tree in her back yard.
After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived it, and reunited the family. Most of course had been gassed by the Nazis.
Those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes, or adopted.
Last year Irena was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize....
She LOST.
Al Gore won, for doing a slide show on Global Warming.
One final note on Irena Sendler –
In 1943 the survivors rose in rebellion in the Warsaw ghetto, knew their fate was sealed whether they won or lost. From January to April they fought a hopeless, doomed battle, astonishing the Germans with their courage. Eventually, to subdue them, Nazi forces had to fight block-by-block through the ghetto, blowing up every building. Almost 57,000 Jews were eventually killed in the fighting or deported to concentration camps (where most suffered the same fate).
Irena was finally exposed and arrested by the Gestapo in 1943 as well. They tortured her brutally, leaving scars on her body which never faded. Despite their tortures, she never gave away even one of her assistants, or the identity of a single Jewish child she had rescued. She was sentenced to death, but her associates bribed a German guard to smuggle her out of the prison. She was dumped in the woods, arms and legs broken, unconscious, and later rescued.Even this did not deter her. She recovered, and for the rest of the war worked under an assumed name, in constant peril of instant execution should the Germans have discovered her. After the war she recovered her records of rescued children, and identified them to the authorities. Most emigrated to Israel.
Irerna or Big Al?
No contest.
Amen!
