Did you know the term "rule of thumb" refers to the width of a stick with which it was legal to beat one's wife? The stick could be no wider than the man's thumb.

I remember that one from the Boondock Saints, and one of them said it should've been rule of wrist then.

Interesting....though I already knew a lot of these.

That's the popular belief but there are numerous contradictions to that.

I'm not disputing the jumping prowess of fleas but their math is wrong. A football field is 100 yds plus 20 yds if we're counting the two end zones. Even taking a human height of 5'-6", times 350 = 1,925'. Divided by the number of feet/yard (3) = 641 yds (rounded). Divide that by 120 yds = more than 5 football fields.

Wow, never knew a lot of these.
