Cool Info
Hey, I know you guys haven't commented on my last post, and I still want you to, but I just found out a cool little known fact that I didn't know before, so obviously I assumed you guys would be just as interested as me. Did you know, regarding statues, that:If a statue of a man on a horse displays the horse on two legs (that is, rearing up) then whoever the statue was made of was killed in battle.
If the statue has a horse with one leg up (I've never seen this before, and I lived in Europe where they actually had these statues) then that person died of injuries caused by battle.
If the statue is just of a guy on a horse with all of its hooves on the ground, then the guy was military but lucked out and got to die of natural causes.
This is the kind of stuff I'm going to need to beat Ken Jenning's record in Jeopardy!

That is cool. Seriously. And yes, you will undoubtably be the next Ken Jennings. Wanna promise me 5% of all your winnings? I could use a new car. :)
hmm.. I've actually heard that somewhere before. Really couldn't tell ya where but I have.
What if his horse kept getting shot out from under him? Is there a special statue for that, like the guy is trapped underneath his fallen horse and is waving his arms wildly about?
What about being sentenced to have his head cut off because the king didn't like his popularity? Does the statue have stitches like Frankenstein?
P.S. could you limit the number of posts you have up on your blog so it doesn't take too long to load?
Hey, dial up rocks!
(yeah, right.)
