At President Trump's swearing in yesterday,
some criticized him for not putting hand on the Bible when
taking the oath of office. ''Do
you solemnly swear that you will tell the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?''
Anyone testifying in a court of law in the United States
hears this phrase, and agrees to the statement. This is
customary in many judicial systems, as it is important to
affirm the validity of statements made in court. The
controversy comes when attempting to define the proper oath,
and what to swear on. Swearing on the Bible in court is no
longer done as universally as it once was. More |

Pie-rats sail the starry night,
seeking treasures baked just right. Pie-rats don't want gold
doubloons, their bounty comes on forks and spoons. Many

see a full pantry. But when the amount of food gets to be

From the article: ''
Peeing in a standing position means you're ready at the
slightest hint of danger to bounce. I longed to relieve

gave me the spoon-funnel invention.'' More |

If you are a new author,
beware of possible vanity press scams that lure you in with
the promise to publish your book. Some companies you find,
or perhaps ones that contact you unsolicited, often mask
their true intentions with grand promises and minimal
transparency. These publishers often shower you with
complimentary talk about publishing your wonderful
manuscript but shy away from mentioning the costs or how
they will help you sell your book. More |

According to the author, Dr. King was
a profoundly dishonest charlatan who regularly associated

It's not the fastest fighter
jet in the Air Force's arsenal -- that title goes to the F-15E
Strike Eagle -- but it's up there. Just how fast it goes depends
on its altitude, because a lower altitude comes with a higher
level of drag while a higher one means less drag. At sea level,
it can get up to 921 mph or Mach 1.21. At higher altitudes,
however, it exceeds Mach 2 or 1,534 mph.
