Here's a look into the corporate mind that is very interesting, educational, historical, completely true, and hysterical all at the same time.
The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number.
Why did the English 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.
So who built those old rutted roads ? Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (including England) for their legions. Those roads have been used ever since.And the ruts in the roads ? Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear of destroying their wagon wheels.
So the next time you are handed a specification/procedure/process and wonder 'What horse's ass came up with this ?', you may be exactly right. Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the rear ends of two war horses. 
When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory in Utah...
So, imagine a major Space Shuttle design feature of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse's rear. Ancient horse's rear ends controled almost everything...
1. You Forget 90% of Your Dreams

If u like getting random interesting spam like emails, this is the the best thing. You just have to join a yahoo group and see. The hard part is to find a good group, after that, its all automatic. they'll email the shit outta you. there are ones i have joined which some send me about 5 emails a day and there are some groups sending me about an email a month. They are pretty interesting, actually i love them.
The thing with these groups is that you dont know what will happen till you join. Well they do tell you an estimate of how many emails per day or month but there isn't a preview of emails they send. And you cant see what previous posts are either.
Even though the concept is good, there isn't a system to browse through groups. yes you can browse them like an idiot but it's not smart. Its not in a particular order. Anyways here is a link to such group.
