    More Animal Fun

    This show is dedicated to Sprocket

    She was my 17 year old Wiemeraner. She passed away Tuesday Dec. 5th 2007, we'll miss her so much.

    The Weimaraner's written history begins around 1880, when this breed was first exhibited at a Berlin, Germany dog show, where they were referred to as "l'mongrels".

    The Grand Duke Karl August of Weimar (Germany), wanted to develop a multipurpose dog. It's nickname is the "Gray Ghost"; this comes from not only the Weimaraner's color, but also its ability to be quick, using an almost cat-like stealth while in the field, combined with a silent, almost shadow-like way of working.

    After World War II ended, many soldiers brought home stories of this wonderful, strangely colored dog known as the Weimaraner. As people heard of these stories many wanted this new Wonder Dog.

    Within six months a Weimaraner will go from a 3 pound puppy to a 70 pound dog with a mind of its own. It is not a plaything, nor should ownership be frivalous. Without proper training and socialization, this dog can become a neurotic, problem dog and almost impossible to manage. With hard work and love you will rewarded with an incredible companion.

    When was Chicago without a police force?

    In 1861, John Wentworth fired the entire Chicago Police Department when his term as mayor came to an end. Those terminated included sixty patrolmen, three sergeants, three lieutenants, and one captain.

    Mostly Trivial on Mostly Trivial

    From 2 loyal listeners who helped with todays trivia

    Man, I've had a Mostly Trivial orgy today.  I've been listening to your show for a couple of weeks, and downloaded all the previous episodes over the weekend.  Today, I listened to all but about 6 episodes.  I LOVE your show!  Not only do you have great trivia, but it's the best-sounding podcast I've heard since I started listening to podcasts about a month ago when I bought my first iPod.  I particularly enjoyed the "Chuck E. Cheese Hell" song on the Coin-op video game episode. Anyway, I had an idea for a show.  Trivia about Mostly Trivial.

    We at the Step Out Of Your Shell Podcast love your show, we've downloaded all of them!   Thanks and keep up the great work.

    Word Origins

    Some surprising answers for You?

    Where do thes words come from

    Some folks “sleep like a top‿ when they go to bed. Do you know where this comes from?

    Long before the days of high-tech toys and the Internet, a favorite child's toy was a spinning top. To set the top spinning, you wound the string round the shaft, balanced the top carefully upright, and pulled the string with all your might. At maximum spin, the top can appear to be perfectly still, or “sleeping‿. Incidentally; to “sleep like a log‿ has nothing to do with waking up in the fireplace, rather the sound of heavy snoring being likened to that of sawing.

    Bubblicious!

    For better or ill, I sat on a stump, And was stuck by a lump, Of gum on my rump...And am sitting there still.

    Pop goes the Bubble Gum!

    For 12 years, the selling, importing, manufacturing and chewing of gum was illegal in Singapore.  The ban was lifted in 2004 - - but the chewy stuff can only be bought at pharmacies.  Customers must give their names and show an identity card before receiving their gum.  Pharmacists who don’t follow these rules can be jailed for up to two years and fined $4,700!

    In some parts of the world, especially the South China Seas, piracy still exists today.

    Why?

    The common misconception among citizens is that personal use quantities of chewing gum are allowed into Singapore. However, according to the set of Regulations, "importing" means to "bring or cause to be brought into Singapore by land, water or air from any place which is outside Singapore ..." any goods, even if they are not for purposes of trade. The set of Regulations also does not make any provisions for personal use quantities to be brought into Singapore. Therefore, bringing chewing gum into Singapore, even small quantities for whatever purpose, is technically prohibited.

    What do you know, Joe?

    San Luis Obispo, California, is the home of 'Bubble Gum Alley'. What is it?

    A. An alley with brick walls covered with ABC (already-been-chewed) gum wads.

    B.The place where bubble gum was invented.

    C. The home of the largest collection of bubble gum machines.

    "Well Shiver me Timbers!

    AARRRRRRR!!!

    Did you know...

    Why were pirate attacks so often successful? Pirate ships usually carried far more crew than ordinary ships of a similar size. This meant they could easily outnumber their victims. Pirates altered their ships so that they could carry far more cannon than merchant ships of the same size.

    In some parts of the world, especially the South China Seas, piracy still exists today.

    What do you know, Joe?

    Throughout history, there have been people willing to rob others transporting goods on the water. These years are sometimes known as a 'Golden Age' of piracy. Thousands of pirates were active from when to when?

    "Whiskey a GO-GO

    Are we having fun yet?" [Maybe after a couple of belts]

    Did you know...

    Whisky, one of the world’s largest spirits, has a history of its own. The name ‘whisky’ itself is a variant on the phrase ‘water of life’ indicting spirits. This word, in various spellings, is found today in some Scandinavian countries, and the French eau-de-vie translates in the same way. Rendered in Irish and Scottish Gaelic, the term becomes uisge beatha [pronounced "ooshkie bayha"] or usquebaugh among other spellings. It eventually was mangled into the half anglicized whisky.

    Stanley Kubrick worked for several months with effects technicians to come up with a convincing effect for the floating pen in the shuttle sequence. After trying many different techniques, without success, Kubrick decided to simply use a pen that was taped to a sheet of glass and suspended in front of the camera. In fact, the shuttle attendant can be seen to "pull" the pen off the glass when she takes hold of it..

    The term 'poolroom' now means a place where billiards is played, but in the 19th century a poolroom was a betting parlor for horse racing. Billiard tables were installed so patrons could pass the time between races. The game of billiards and the poolroom became connected in the public's mind. Today, the two terms are used interchangeably.

    Hey, Listen to THIS!

    I was just having fun yelling at you :-)

    Pete Townshend on iPods

    “Who guitarist Pete Townshend is warning iPod users they may face hearing loss if they pump up the volume on the devices.

    “Townshend, 60, said his hearing was irreversibly damaged from using studio headphones, and he now takes 36-hour breaks between recording sessions. The band was known for loud performances. “ "Hearing loss is a terrible thing because it cannot be repaired," Townshend said on his website. "If you use an iPod or anything like it, or your child uses one, you may be OK. But my intuition tells me there is terrible trouble ahead."

    Explaination on one of the questions in this show:

    Water vapor in the air increases this speed slightly. Sound travels faster through warm air than through cold air. This is to be expected because the faster-moving molecules in warm air bump into each other more often and therefore transmit a pulse in less time. For each degree rise in temperature above 0 degrees C, the speed of sound in air increases by 0.6 meters per second. In water, sound travels about four times as fast as it does in air, while in steel, the speed of sound is about fifteen times as great as in air.

    What do you know, Joe?

    Why do people often experience ringing in the ears after a loud music concert?

    A. Some cilia in the ear have been destroyed and are "dying".

    B. The hammer, anvil and stirrup are still sending electrical waves to the brain.

    C. The brain is still processing subtle vibrations of the cilia.

    D. The pinna is still funneling trapped sound waves.

    Some Do's and Don'ts on Feeding the Birds ( I love to feed the Birds out on our deck!)

    A hanging feeder with sunflower seeds will attract numerous birds, but don't forget a suet feeder for the woodpeckers, nuthatches, titmice and chickadees, and a ground or tray-type feeder with cracked corn or mixed seed for cardinals, doves, juncos, sparrows and others that prefer feeding from the ground.

    Water is a great attraction for birds, even in winter. A heating element for birdbaths will prevent freezing.

    Placing a feeder near shrubs or other shelters will make birds feel safer. Ground feeders should be near cover such as a brush pile. A fence around the ground feeder may be necessary if cats begin hiding in the nearby cover.
