In ancient Egypt, killing a cat was a crime punishable by death.

Fact. Cats were considered divine beings.

The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket.

Fbone, I don't think that the chocolate bar was in his pocket. It was on a tabletop near the tube.

Yep, killing cats in ancient Egypt sentenced you to death. In India there is harder punishment for killing a cow than killing a person. Edit: Another reference on pocket vs table top. Last edited by Bikeridr; 04-26-2011 at 03:56 AM. Reason: More info |

Lady Astor once told Winston Churchill 'if you were my husband, I would poison your coffee'. His reply 'if you were my wife, I would drink it'
