Useless Facts

The difference between jam and jelly is that jam is made from the fruit itself, while jelly is made from strictly the juice. Other than that it’s pretty much the same process.

 

The song that holds the record for the most vocal edits is 'Somnambulist (Simply Being Loved)' by electronic artist Brian 'BT' Transeau, with 6,178 edits over the course of the song's 4 minute and 21 second runtime.

 

Napalm Death has the shortest song, You Suffer, that has possibly
ever been written by a professional musicians containing notes.
(The song that doesn't have any sound, doesn't count.)

 

Or this:

 

No toll roads here in Michigan (which may account for the horrific condition of many of our roads, but ...). No safety or smog inspections either, and drunk-driving check lanes were declared unconstitutional by the state Supreme Court decades ago. All in all, a good place to be a driver (except for the auto insurance rates, which should abate next July after the new law takes effect).

The three largest US diamond retailers, KAY, Jared, and Zales, are owned by the same company.

 

Short-barreled rifles and shotguns are restricted in the US under tha National Firearms Act of 1934 due to an effort to close a loophole that was later rendered moot. According to Forgotten Weapons, the original draft of the NFA would have placed handguns under the same restrictions as machine-guns. In order to prevent people from simply sawing the barrels down on rifles and thereby "creating" handguns, the act included language which restricted the ownership or construction of short-barreled rifles. However, the restriction on handguns didn't end up in the final draft of the law, while the restriction on the other weapons remained, as in Moby Dick, where Melville writes on the fate of a slaughtered whale:

 

In the NFL, only the center can request a different football, and the clock continues to run as the exchange is made.

 

Yeah. Sloppy game, but Dallas lost, which is the main thing. Also watched my Lions lose to Washington. Washington!

 

Speaking as someone whose first instinct when she sees a ball is to duck, what difference does having a different ball make?

 

Coming from the same position as you, I had no idea this was an option. What sort of ball did they change to? I can't imagine a football player trying to catch a cricket ball....

 

I find it hard to root for the Pats when they are coached by Belial Beelzebub. He is wickedness incarnate. He has corrupted young Tom Brady and turned him into the deficient little homunculus he now appears to be, his once-mighty arm shriveled so badly he cannot throw a touchdown pass any more. He languishes, wealthy but ineffectual, in the lower half of the NFL in quarterback rating. The Pats survive only because of their superior defense. I await the crumbling of that wall with hope.

 

It was the Patriots, so Brady may order the center to request one of their 'special' balls.

Done. All of Detroit's former head coaches become legendary offensive or defensive coordinators, so it would bode well for a continuation of the Patriots dynasty (I'm seeing Joe Burrow when Brady totters off to the assisted living facility).

 

Useless fact: The SVT-38 and the SVT-40 are functionally identical.

Spoiler

I own an SVT-40. Dead sexy rifle.

 

SVT1 and SVT2 are also functionally identical, but tend to not host the same content.

 

I used to own a SKS rifle. You can't really look more badass hunting large game than when you walk out with a bayonet on.
