5 Random Facts – Skateboards, Thongs & N.M. Psychologists

1.)  It's impossible to buy a flight to Delaware.  Frontier Airlines used to go to Wilmington New Castle Airport, but they dropped those routes earlier this month.  So now Delaware is the one state in the U.S. that you can only fly to on a private plane.

2.) You probably think thong underwear is a fairly recent thing but the first ones came about in New York in 1939, when the mayor told nude dancers they had to wear underwear.  Obviously they wanted something as small  as possible.

But how did a tiny thong cover up what, let’s face it, must’ve been a humongous 1930’s jungle bush?

3.)   The average American fast food worker is now 29-and-a-half years old.

Coincidentally, the average age of the meat in an Arby’s sandwich is also 29-and-a-half years.

4.)   Norway is the only country that's ever made skateboarding illegal.  Merely possessing a skateboard was  banned there from 1977 through 1989.

Diving down the sheer face of a fjord in a wingsuit, though? Totally legal.

5.)   The New Mexico state Senate passed a bill in the 1995 that required psychologists to wear wizard's hats when they testified in court. Also, they would be required to don a long white beard and punctuate their testimony by waving a wand.  Although the Senate passed the bill, someone caught the tacked-on segment before it could pass in the House so it never actually became part of New Mexico law.

“If it please the court, the State would like to call its next witness. Professor…Dumble…Dumble…dore, is it?”
