Re: Factoids
All right, you lot. How about a little more fact, and a little less toid, okay?

In olden times, chaff from the fields (thresh) used to be strewn on the floor of houses, as a kind of low budget carpet and insulation. A block of wood was placed in the doorways to keep the thresh from being tracked out the door. Hence, the "thresh hold."

Typewriter is the longest word that can be made using only one row on the keyboard.

A jiffy is an actual unit of time - 1/100th sec
