TRUTH !!
The mom with the most kids is Mrs. Feodor Vassilyev of Russia.
Feodor Vassilyev (Russian: Фёдор Васильев, older spelling: Ѳеодоръ
Васильевъ) (c. 1707 – 1782) was a peasant from Shuya, Russia. His first wife
is claimed to have lived to be 76 and, between 1725 and 1765, have had 69
children (16 pairs of twins, 7 sets of triplets and 4 sets of quadruplets);
67 of them survived infancy with the loss of one set of twins: the record
for most children born to a single woman. However their name, date of birth,
and date of death are all unknown.

Vassilyev also had 18 children with his second wife, who had 6 pairs of
twins and 2 sets of triplets, making him a father of 87 children in total.
Of his 87 children, at least 82 are said to have survived infancy.

What he said.

I wonder if after the first 20, the rest just fell out without much effort.

I know someone who was a pretty large lady. She had a baby while sitting in her living room. Popped right out. She didn't even know she was pregnant!

China is the largest country with only one time zone, followed by India.
Living in a country with a common time would be comparable to the United
States having Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago and New York all in the same time
zone. - Provided by The World Almanac 2010

Semi-crap.

That was what I was taught in school but in my later life I found that things that could be loosely called fountain pens were in use much earlier.

TRUTH !!
Historians now lean more and more to the belief that the fountain pen was
invented during the Renaissance by Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519). They base
this on diagrams in his journals of a reservoir pen that works by drawing up
ink and dispersing it by gravity. Further studies reveal that the
handwriting in Leonardo's remaining writings has a uniformity throughout,
without the fading away of the ink that is usually the case with quill pens.

This news item crossed my desk today.

Truth or crap?


NEW YORK, NY—The NYPD announced it is investigating the hate crime of a man who graffitied over the city's sanctioned graffiti, changing the previous Black Lives Matter slogan to read "ORANGE" Lives Matter.
The unknown vandal snuck out to the street in the middle of the night and scrubbed the word "BLACK" off the mural, painting over it with the word "ORANGE."
"Our suspect looks to be about 6'3", 243 pounds, with orange hair and matching skin," said an NYPD detective at a press conference this morning. "We don't know who this man could be, but if anyone has any information, please come forward. We were trying to own the president with a savage burn with this mural, and we can't have our political games ruined by ne'er-do-well vigilantes."
The suspect has also sent the police a cryptic note cut out of magazine letters, reproduced below:

"The word 'Trump' at the end is of particular interest to us," the detective said. "The suspect is taunting us, saying his painting 'trumped' our painting. We'd really like to know who did this. Please, New York -- we must stop this mad man."neBee Carousel Desktop - 178

I missed this one. But, having just viewed the Da Vinci exhibit in St Louis recently, it would be sorta cheating if I answered.

The exhibit was amazing with life sized reproduction of his works in wood and metals of the period. The steam cannon, artillery shell designs, and military tanks were remarkable.

..and the answer is:


TRUTH !!
John Gilchrist is best known for his role as Mikey in the Life cereal
commercials in the 1970s. He would play this role alongside his two
real-life brothers. The commercial was filmed in 1971 and he was just 3
years old at the time. By the year 1972 it was being aired nationally.
It ran on the air until 1986.

Gilchrist and his siblings got into acting by the suggestion of a family
friend, and so this commercial was an easy shoo-in for all of them. The kids
were very comfortable in the commercial since they were all actual brothers.
All of them ended up making more money in one day than their father made in
a week!

I don't have a clue really but I would have to say "crap". We've had too many Presidents assassinated where the VP had to take over, for that to be true.

Go on, educate me. It's too late and I'm too tired to Google it.

Ford is the only one to serve as POTUS without being elected to either the

The post-civil war U.S. Army contained about 180, 000 African-American
Soldiers.

answer:
CRAP !!
Although approximately 180,000 African Americans had served in the Union
Army during the Civil War, they were not allowed to be a part of the regular
peacetime Army.
In 1866, however, Congress passed the Army Reorganization Act, a law that
doubled the size of the regular Army, including the addition of six African
American regiments, the first professional black soldiers in the United
States Army. By 1869, these six regiments were consolidated into four units,
the 9th and 10th Cavalry and the 24th and 25th Infantry.

These men came to be known as the Buffalo Soldiers, a name reportedly given
to them by Native Americans for the soldiers’ curly dark hair that resembled
Buffalo fur; though some historic accounts state the name was given as a nod
to the black soldiers’ strong fighting power.

Among the earliest stewards of the nation’s national parks were soldiers
from segregated black regiments. Starting in the 1890s, the Buffalo
Soldiers, who had earned valor fighting in the Indian Wars and
Spanish-American War, added park ranger to their titles and played a
critical role in protecting and building the infrastructure of the country’s
vast public lands.
