Hettmoe Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I guess my math skills are lacking. I did not know that numbers divisible by 100 are not all divisible by 4. I still can't quite believe it..... Link to post Share on other sites
EB&Me Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Did you know that "A man a plan a canal Panama" spells the same thing forward or backwards? More of that useless info. Link to post Share on other sites

Years divisible by 100 are not a leap years, unless they are also divisible by 4. So 1600 was a leap year 1700, 1800, 1900 were not 2000 was 2100 will not be a leap year. This is the way I saw it stated. As all 100's are divisible by 4. A year is not a leap year if it's NOT divisible by 4, OR if it's divisible by 100 AND NOT divisible by 400 Seems they have to skip a few as the rotation isn't exact on the 4 years.

jeff88 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Did you know that the sentence: "Hurricane Harvey is heading to Houston." is alliteration? That's about the only good thing I can think of right now as I head outside to batten down the hatches (and yard furniture). Link to post Share on other sites

Be safe, I've got several friends down in that Houston to San Antonio area, most have packed their trash and headed for higher ground but a few are going to ride it out. Harvey is looking nastier and nastier as it hits shallower water. Link to post Share on other sites

Felix Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Did you know that, in baseball, all foul tips are caught and count as a strike. Any ball "tipped" and not caught is not a foul tip it is a foul ball and may or may not be a strike (not if the batter already has two strikes). No foul balls are caught (in the air) and play is dead. A ball caught in the air in foul territory is a fly-out, play continues (runners may advance). Link to post Share on other sites
Brad Eden Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 Seriously, the reports for the storm hitting Texas sends shivers down my spine. That deluge of Water and wind are devastating components. Hunker down and best of luck. Link to post Share on other sites
rawhide Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Yep. It looks like its going to be a bad one. My rounds this morning took me from Richardson down to Dallas on Central Expressway (US 75), and I saw a caravan of electrical service trucks, about a dozen, headed south. They were from OK. Wish y'all down there good fortune through it all. Link to post Share on other sites

Did you know that in baseball there are only 8 players in the field of play? The catcher is the only one not between the foul lines. Did you know that in baseball that a catcher can be called for a balk if he leaves the catchers box before the pitcher releases the ball? Did you know that in baseball a first baseman can be called for a balk if he has one or both feet outside the foul line at the time of the pitch while holding a base runner to the base? (same for 3rd basemen) Did you know that there are 108 stitches on a major league baseball. Did you know a base runner in baseball can tag up and leave the occupied base as soon as a fielder touches a fly ball, not when it's caught. This rule is to stop fielders from juggling the ball on purpose to confuse the base runner. Virgil Link to post Share on other sites
