Guest Flashstar Posted October 21, 2005 Woman's basketball was invented in 1896. At that time, they used different rules and the court was smaller as well. Now, the only difference between men's and women's basketball is the weight of the ball. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LoArmistead Posted October 21, 2005 "Soldiers disease" is a term for morphine addiction. The Civil War produced over 400,000 morphine addicts. Spontaneous human combustion is the process of the body's temperature becoming heated to the point that the body simply bursts into flame and incinerates. No one knows the actual cause of why this happens. Some blame a chemical reaction within the body, others blame supernatural causes. Fourteen years before the Titanic sank, novelist Morgan Robertson published a novel called "Futility". The story was about an ocean liner that struck an iceberg on an April night. The name of the ship in his novel - The Titan. When the U.S. War Department was established in 1789, there were 840 soldiers in the regular army. Their job was to supervise public lands and guard the indian frontier. Chrysler built B-29's that bombed Japan, Mitsubishi built Zeros that tried to shoot them down. Both companies now build cars in a joint plant called Diamond Star. The first time an enormous amount of clothing was needed all at once was during the Civil War, when the Union needed hundreds of thousands of uniforms for its troops. Out of this need came the ready-made clothing industry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kash Posted October 21, 2005 The dark shape in the wave in this photograph IS NOT a shark, it is actually a dolphin. http://www.surfshooter.com/DolphinInfo.html 564318[/snapback] It actually IS a shark. Look at the pointy shape of its head and the tail fin, which is paralell to it's dorsal fin, unlike a dolphin, where the tail fin is perpendicular to the dorsal fin.
