Central Australia is in Cuba????????
The village, founded in 1901, is in a sugar growing area and "dominated by the old, out-of-service sugar factory's chimney, with "Australia" written prominently down its length."[4] The village is named after the factory, the Central Australia,[5] which like others in the area were named after continents.[2]
The village was the first sugar town in Cuba to stop using slave labour,[6] and served as Fidel Castro's base of operations during the 1961 Bay of Pigshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia,_Cuba invasion.[4] ....................https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia,_Cuba

Richard Lawrence (c. 1800 – June 13, 1861) was an English born American house painter who was the first known person to attempt to assassinate a sitting President of the United States. Lawrence attempted to shoot President Andrew Jackson outside the United States Capitol on January 30, 1835. At trial, Lawrence was found not guilty by reason of insanity and spent the remainder of his life in insane asylums.
On January 30, Jackson was attending the funeral of South Carolina Representative Warren R. Davis at the U.S. Capitol. Lawrence originally planned to shoot Jackson as he entered the service but was unable to get close enough to him. However, when Jackson left the funeral, Lawrence had found a space near a pillar on the East Portico l, where Jackson would pass. As Jackson walked, Lawrence stepped out and fired his first pistol at Jackson's back; it misfired. Lawrence quickly made another attempt with his second pistol, but that also misfired. It was later determined that the weapons that he had chosen were noted for being vulnerable to moisture, and the weather on that date was humid and damp.[2]
Lawrence's unsuccessful attempts were noticed by Jackson, who proceeded to beat him with his cane. The crowd (which included Representative David "Davy" Crockett) eventually intervened and wrestled Lawrence into submission.
It is a myth that men have one less rib than women. Just because God pinched one of Adam's ribs to make Eve, doesn't mean subsequent men had a missing rib.
Men and women both normally have 12 pairs of ribs. A small number of people have 13 pairs of ribs, like gorillas.
Women's ribs are about 10 per cent smaller than men's.
The Guinness record for the smallest waist is 15 inches, achieved by wearing corsets 24 hours a day, which is not recommended.

1. Most of the earth's surface consists of water; there is much more water than there is land.
2. Water can not only be found on the surface, but also in the ground and in the air.
3. There is the same amount of water on earth as there was when the earth was formed. The water that came from your faucet could contain molecules that Neanderthals drank…
4. The overall amount of water on our planet has remained the same for two billion years.

That's right. There is no such thing as 'fresh' water. All water is recycled. The water you last drank may have once passed through the intestinal tract of a brontosaurus.[bigsad]Quote:
