In the old days cats and dogs used to get under thatched roofs to stay warm and dry, when it rained the thatch used to give way and down would come the dogs and cats Hence the saying: Its raining cats and dogs |

Approximately 10.5 gallons of water is used in a dishwasher. Washing the dishes by hand can use up to 20 gallons of water. Therefore it IS better to have a dish washer |

Frisbee got its name from William Russel Frisbee, who was a pie baker. He used to sell his pies in a thin tin pan, which had Frisbee written on it. When Walter Frederick Morrison thought of the idea of making saucer like disks to play catch, he visited the campus of Yale and noticed people there were using the pie pan to play catch so he therefore renamed his invention to Frisbee. |
