    The sandwich is named after John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich. It's said that he was fond of this food because it allowed him to continue playing cards while eating, without getting his cards greasy.


    To multiply 45 times 45, you just have to do this. 4 x 4 + 4 and then add 25 at the end. For example, 45 x 45 = 4 x 4 + 4 + (25 at the end) = 2025. This same technique works for other multiplications like 35 times 35 (3 x 3 + 3 + 25 at the end), 75 times 75 (7 x 7 + 7 + 25 at the end), etc etc

    Honey never spoils. If you ate honey from 1,000 years ago, it would pretty much be the same as eating honey from last week.

    For fiction....

    Write as a writer, not a reader.

    When you write as a reader, you don't really know the ending, so you don't know where you're going with the story, and that's likely why you aren't finishing your book.

    Sure, you spoil it for yourself, but writing like a writer forces you to know the ending so you know where you're going the whole time. Since you likely know where you're starting, it makes the trip a lot easier.

    Poker is a family of card games that share betting rules and usually (but not always) hand rankings. Poker games differ in how the cards are dealt, how hands may be formed, whether the high or low hand wins the pot in a showdown (in some games, the pot is split between the high and low hands), limits on bet sizes, and how many rounds of betting are allowed.

    In most modern poker games, the first round of betting begins with some form of forced bet by one of the players. In standard poker, each player is betting that the hand he has will be the highest ranked. The action then proceeds clockwise around the table and each player in turn must either match the maximum previous bet or fold, losing the amount bet so far and all further interest in the hand. A player who matches a bet may also "raise", or increase the bet. The betting round ends when all players have either matched the last bet or have folded. If all but one player fold on any round, then the remaining player collects the pot and may choose to show or conceal their hand. If more than one player remains in contention after the final betting round, then the hands are revealed and the player with the winning hand takes the pot. With the exception of initial forced bets, money is only placed into the pot voluntarily by a player who, at least in theory, rationally believes the bet has positive expected value. Thus, while the outcome of any particular hand significantly involves chance, the long-run expectations of the players are determined by their actions chosen based on probability, psychology and game theory.

    It is a common misconception, even among adults, that humans and dinosaurs coexisted: According to the California Academy of Sciences, around 41% of U.S. adults mistakenly believe they co-existed.[103] The last of the dinosaurs died around 65 million years ago, after the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event, whereas the earliest Homo genus (humans) evolved between 2.3 and 2.4 million years ago.

    Not true. It hardens into a solid. I only know this b/c I had to take like 20 bottles off the shelf last week due to this. It's probably why honey now has expiration dates...approx 2-3 years.

    it is true, there is a way to unharden honey to make it good as new. i recently recently read article about honey found in an ancient cave that is still good. it stays good forever.

    Hardening is not the same as spoiling. If you heat it up, it gets gooey again. Much like my peehole.
