    not jackson – but eisenhower. jackson was made a major general (2 star), not a general

    sorry, anonymisss. I was correcting moish, who listed 4 when there are only 3.

    moish’s list was

    squeak, washngton, jackson, and grant.

    The first one was obviously wrong, the third was wrong but not as obvious.

    How does everyone know he was stuck in the bathtub? Any secret service people here?

    Squeak, a Major General is still a General, it is the lowest level of Generals.

    (check Wikipedia)

    Interestingly enough, a Lieutenant General outranks a Major General, even though a Major outranks a Lieutenant.

    ok, aussie, so if I would say (now, I know you will tell me that I’m asking a question now and not stating a fact, sorry,) “President Taft got stuck in the bathtub.” Would that be acceptable for this thread?

    The longest English word that does not repeat any letters is 17 letters long.

    That would make a great hangman word, if you wanted to let just about every guess be correct. Unfortunately, I’m not that nice and I haven’t ever visited the hangman thread.

    Pepsi is commonly used by wooden boat owners to clean mold from decks. They leave it on for about thirty seconds, then it must be rinsed off as not to cause erosion.

    Just another reason to drink Coke….

    squeak, coke isn’t any better? you know that science experiment that they do in like sixth or seventh grade? take a tooth and put it in coke for a little while. it gets holes in it – it’s disgusting.

    How cool: Did you know that: 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321?

    interesting how “right-wing” people seem to put more emphasis on the “right side of the luchos” – ben adam lamakom, & people who are more to the “left” seem to focus more on the “left side” & ben adam lachaveiro.

    Isnt it the “right-wingers” who want the people to have more power and the “left-wingers” who want the government to have more power?

    Maybe I am just misunderstanding what was said.

    moish01: …trying to figure out what to say to that…

    i’m sure there’s a fuzzy middle ground though, i see it more as a spectrum than just “2 categories”

    anonymisss: i don’t remember if i heard it from somewhere or came up with it myself (i didn’t just think of it now though).
