Is the dark ages and even into as late as the 1500\'s Christmas was a very.........wicked holiday, full of \"life re-affirming\" actions (sex, drugs and their version of rock and roll). The puritains who first settles the Americas actually didn\'t celebrate it because of it\'s bad rep. Later immegrants forced the issue, though. It\'s hard to keep a good orgey down! :twisted:

santa used to have a green tunic until coca cola portrayed him as having a red coat.

The current portrayal of a red-suited, jolly-cheeked, fat man with white hair is the product of Coca-cola, that\'s why he\'s red and white.

St Nick, the legend whom Santa is based off, is actually thin.

After hundreds of years of being dead, yes, he\'s positively skeletal! lol

The Greeks (?) noticed that certain stars didn\'t stay put night after night but tended to wander, thus the word planet which means to wander.

Did you know that:

-A pigs orgasm can last up to 30 minutes.

-Cat pee is fluorocent at night

-Elephants are the only landliving mamals that can´t jump

-Cows can´t control ther sphincters.

And I just found this on http://www.angelfire.com/ca6/uselessfacts/

\"At age 47, the Rolling Stones\' bassist, Bill Wyman, began a relationship with 13-year old Mandy Smith, with her mother\'s blessing. Six years later, they were married, but the marriage only lasted a year. Not long after, Bill\'s 30-year-old son Stephen married Mandy\'s mother, age 46. That made Stephen a stepfather to his former stepmother. If Bill and Mandy had remained married, Stephen would have been his father\'s father-in-law and his OWN GRANDPA.\"

I pray not! His name is Noisy Martin (to us it is anyway). He looks like a toad too! A strange man-beast.
