* In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts... So in old England, when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them "Mind your pints and quarts, and settle down!" This is where we get the phrase, "Mind your P's and Q's"
* 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321* It is impossible to lick your elbow (... Take my word for this one!)
