Your foot is the same size as that bit of the arm between elbow and hand.


Another body fact - your armspan from fingertip to fingertip is the same as your height.


Police Fact-Police here.

Neither of those is a fact, they're both approximates.

That's a fact.

Especially with the arm-span one. I lost range of movement in my left arm so I can't stretch the arm out to full length, but I didn't shrink in height Laughing

I have a foreshortened ulna in my left wrist, and my left forearm is shorter than my right, which invalidates both facts above.

If you look on the dashboard of most cars, you'll see an arrow on the fuel gauge that points to the side the fuel filler is on.

Really boring fact but handy for those days you're not in your own car or are just having a blonde moment cos you're normally on the bike.

And yet the fuel hose will always reach to the other side if drivers have enough spatial awareness to park in the right position. It's disturbing how many lack the ability and prefer to queue, ignoring a vacant pump.

Disturbing but satisfying. I love zipping past people queuing to fill the tank up. Bunch of retards.

I had a problem like that, it's called Impingement, hurts like hell to lift up your arm and no more full use movement. I had a keyhole operation to free it up again, now it's like a new arm.

Rats laugh. If you tickle them, they laugh. It's not in the human range of hearing, but there it is.

To which small cars does this not apply?

Is Russia bigger than all small cars put together?

Which small cars are put together in Russia?

Which Russians put together small cars?

Which small Russians put together most cars?

Which cars are smaller than most Russians?

So much to learn!

He's not the only person that knows this.
You know it too.
And me now.
And anyone that has read this post.
Probably many thousands of people know this.

So how can you say I'm a Jordan Peterson fan? There are thousands of people I could have got this information from.

And a few happy rats.

I do like Dr. Peterson though. I don't agree with everything he says, but he makes more sense by a country mile than the majority of his detractors.

You'll need to do your own research, I can't solve all your problems.

You could go to Russia to learn about Russia and small cars?

Which brings me to my next interesting fact: the best way to get to Russia is to travel but remember, to walk from one side of Russia to the other would take too long. Shocked

All Kings based on people in history. Julius Caesar is one IIRC.
