HAZE Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 Ever wonder where the word "shit" comes from? Certain types of manure used to be transported (as almost everything was back then) by ship.In dry form it weighs a lot less, but once water (at sea) hit it, it not only became heavier, but the process of fermentation began again, which by-product is methane gas.As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles you can see what could (and did) happen: methane gas began to build-up below decks and the first time someone came below at night with a lantern ....... BOOOOM!Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was discovered what was happening.After that, the bundles of manure where always stamped with the term "S.H.I.T" on them which meant to the sailors to "Ship High In Transit." In other words, high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start the production of methane gas.

HAZE Posted September 9 Author Report Share Posted September 9 What The FUCK?In ancient England single people could not have sex unless they had consent of the king. When people wanted to have a baby, they had to get the consent of the king, and the king gave them a placard that they hung on their door while they were having sex. The placard had F. U. C. K. (Fornication Under Consent of the King) on it. Hence that's where the word Fuck came from. Now, aren't you glad you learned something new today?
