Armored knights in medieval times raised their visors to identify themselves when they rode past their king. This custom has become the modern military salute.

At the deepest point in the ocean the pressure is more than 8 tons per square inch, or the equivalent of one person trying to support 50 jumbo jets.

The Salomon 727 is the basic design of almost all current heal piece designs.

That's an interesting factoid. It seems like the mice and the ducks were being raised by unmarried uncles or aunts. very weird for a "family" oriented company. Same thing with Popeye, Olive oyl and their bastard child, Swee'pea. Was that some kinda foreshadowing of the future?

I spoke too soon. I take back anything bad I've ever said about you. Except the one about the chimpanzees, that one's true.

I think Swee'Pea was adopted. Otherwise, Olive Oyl would've been shaped more like a bong.
:lol:

Hmm, Olive sure didn't have breeder hips, good point. I think I'll do some research on it today, cuz I can't make a profitable trade if my life depended on it. Much like the casinos, walking away and sidelining can be the better option.
What's the deal with Swee'pea? Whose kid is he anyway?
First, he is neither Olive nor Popeye's child. There are two versions of his origin. In his first appearance, he is sent as protection from the Demonians who want him because of a group of moles on his back that look like the number 7 on a pair of dice. The other story is that he has been made Crown Prince of Demonia and an uncle wants to kill him so he is again sent away. In any case, he appears to be Demonian in origin and is adopted by Popeye. He first appears on July 28, 1933.

From a trivia website:
In the cartoons, Swee'pea was Olive Oyl's cousin.
FROM WHAT POD SPRANG SWEE'PEA?
Lil Swee'Pea, as Popeye likes to say, is an "adoptid infink." Historians of newspaper comics say he first appeared in his long nightshirt on July 28, 1933. The expressive babe appeared in his first cartoon short film in Max Fleischer's 1936 "Little Swee'Pea," in which Popeye blusters:
There's no ifs or maybes
I'll never has babies!
I'm Popeye The Sailor Man!
Popeye first appeared on Jan. 17, 1929, in the comic strip Thimble Theatre, which had already been drawn for 10 years by E.C. Segar.
The strip originally revolved around Olive Oyl's family. Her parents were Cole and Nana Oyl and she had a brother named Castor Oyl and a boyfriend, Ham Gravy. She was also — believe it or not — a tad pudgy in the beginning. (Too much Ham Gravy, no doubt.)
Popeye quickly eclipsed the other characters to become the star.

In 1933, Popeye received a foundling baby in the mail, whom he adopted and named "Swee'Pea".
