    Who was the wise guy to invent cans without thinking of making an opening device at the same time instead of almost half a century later?

    I am surprised Focus on the Family would allow a flight to be named 666!

    Bet those cans were past date when they were finally opened.

    It’s entirely possible to open a can without a can opener. Before the can opener was invented, they used a knife to open cans. I’ve tried it myself a few times, it’s surpringly not that difficult.

    So I’ve got a question about the house. They make it sound like these five were the only ones to put in labor. So what about those tasks that required licensed work (electrical, plumbing, etc…)? Or maybe Arkansas doesn’t require a licensed person to do the work in order to pass inspection?

    It would be a lot weirder if can openers had been invented 48 years BEFORE cans…

    There were also 17 black cats on board, 12 broken mirrors and 8 failures to “knock on wood”.

    The last time I was called for jury duty, we were called by the last three digits of our numbers. I heard, “Juror #666, please take seat 13.” And I wasn’t the only one to notice: A nearby man said, “What a combination.”
