The US Standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8. 5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used? Because that's the way they built them in England, and the US railroads were built by English expatriates. Why did the English people build them like that? Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that's the gauge they used. Why did "they" use that gauge then? Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing. Okay! Why did the wagons use that odd wheel spacing? Well, if they tried to use any other spacing the wagons would break on some of the old, long distance roads, because that's the spacing of the old wheel ruts. So who built these old rutted roads? The first long distance roads in Europe were built by Imperial Rome for the benefit of their legions. The roads have been used ever since. more...

The couple were on their way to their honeymoon, when the wife suddenly said, "Honey, I have a confession to make. I'm very flat-chested."
"That's okay, dear," the husband replied. "There's much more to marriage than sex."
"I also have a confession to make," he continued. "Below the belt, I'm built like a baby."
"That's okay. Like you said, there's more to marriage than sex," the wife replied.
When they finally arrived at their room, the wife took off her clothes, and sure enough she was as flat as a board. Her husband then removed his clothes and she took one look and immediately fainted.
When she finally came to, her husband asked, "What happened? Why did you faint?"
"You said you were built like a baby," she said.
"Yes, that's right, 8 pounds, 20 inches!" replied the husband.
