I went to Carthage College... We were always in conflict with Wheaton College.

I have been her two months and have over 800 posts.

Roger Bannister, John Landy, Wes Santee and Haile Gebrselassie are all born under the sign of Aries.

Roger Bannister finished fourth at the Helsinki, 1952 Olympics in the 1,500 meters. The winner, Josey Barthel of Luxembourg, worked as a full time chemist and trained in his spare time, just as Bannister, a medical student at the time, did.

Hannibal's extensive use of elephants allowed his enemies to formulate a battle plan to deal with them. The battle line facing the elephants would split in front of each elephant, allowing the elephants to walk through the hole, and then the enemy would close ranks and attack the rest of the Carthaginian Army. The elephants wouldn't do any damage and the rest of the Army would be facing a full strength enemy who was excited at seeing their anti-elephant maneuver work.

That reminds me of something by Eddie Izzard...

Hannibal wanted to go over the alps on skis. He went to the ski shop and they were all out.
"We have elephants, sir"
"Can they ski?"
"They're tops at skiing. Why, if you've never seen an elephant ski then you've never been on acid..."
