I think certain casinos also have 24 hour drinking. Kinda makes sense. The more drunk you are the more reckless you're gonna be with the gambling. Those places must rake it in....

Did you know...Decca Records had first crack at signing the Beatles but instead went with a band called Brian Poole and the Tremeloes? EMI ended up with the Fabs. Decca kicked themselves for evermore. A couple of years later, Decca asked George Harrison if he knew of any good groups and he recommended a fave of his called the Rolling Stones. That's how Mick and the boys got signed.

The word "queue" is the only word in the English language that is still pronounced the same way when the last four letters are removed.

Like fingerprints, everyone's tongue print is different!

The Length from your wrist to your elbow is the same as the length of your foot.

Your mouth produces 1 litre of saliva per day.

Bernard Manning once had a part time job as a traffic cone on the set of Melrose Place.

Casinos would rather you didn't think about being late for dinner while you're trying to roll a hard 8!

Did you know they would rather you did not leave at all, I worked at one for a short time and left knowing they are just short of being the devil himself.

Did you know it's also impossible to lick your elbow!
unless you cut your arm off

Did you know that nothing is impossible.
Just improbable.. unless it's feeling pain without suffering.
