Here's some for all of you Chicago people. I'm not sure if these are bullshit or not.

• If you're an unmarried female in Chicago you must be careful how you address any bachelors you might meet. The proper title to use is "Master," not Mister.

• Drivers are required to contact the Chicago Police Department before entering the city in one of those dangerous, life-threatening contraptions known as an automobile.

• A hat pin is considered a concealed weapon in Chicago. It is part of the same law that makes it illegal for people to carry switchblades.

Where did you dig up those old draconian laws, Mister Vito?

I think not on that first one.

By the way...

Did you know that the Ozark Mountain range in Missouri and Arkansas is the oldest mountain range in the entire world? This is not, and never was, the 'New' World. It was only 'new' to Europeans who are and are not Indigenous to this land.

 

[PowerMetalNerd]

DYK...that whoever decided to make Chocolate Peanut Butter Chex mix is a friggin' Genius?

Also....did you know that the Saladbar is now legally considered the 9th Wonder of the World?

I just googled "weird chicago facts" and the first page that came up had those old laws. Every US city has some really really messed up old laws that just never made it out of the books.

 

[wildfyr]

Ah, I see. Well then, those old laws probably came along with (from) those thar original European "settlers", eh?

Those nutty, nutty people.

DYK that we gotta take the power back?

To expose and close the doors on
those who try
To strangle and mangle the truth
'Cause the circle of hatred
continues unless we react
We gotta take the power back

No more lies

DYK...that left and right feet float differently?

There have been severed feet found on the banks in Vancouver, BC ... right ones found washing up on one side, and left feet washing up on another side. They are showing up with a sock and shoe on. Officials were speculating they were probably from plane crashes in the area, however, no other remains have been found. They said that because feet are designed to be exact opposites, the currents are catching them differently and delivering them to opposite sides of the banks.
