  2. It just so happens that I stumbled across something similar at The Straight Dope the other day. It dates from 1992. http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a3_395.html

  4. “I stumbled across something similar.”

  6. My point was why didn’t you link it when you stumbled across it the other day.
