What did most students major in back before the Aztecs became an empire?

Take care and may God bless.

I know someone who was born in 1930, the year Betty White turned 8.

I know a university that is younger than the Aztec Empire.

Take drugs and may God forgive.

[What happened to that guy from Indiana? He posted all over the place for one day, then disappeared. He had never posted before.]

Okay, is the MLK, Anne Frank and Betty White claim really that hard to believe?

When Senator Strom Thurmond turned 100 (while still in office!) The Daily Show did a skit about things that had come and gone since Strom Thurmond was in high school. The three things were:

Marilyn Monroe

Pan-American airline

The Soviet Union

Im not interested in what year Betty White turned 7….But I am interested in knowing what year she turned 11.

Betty White graduated from Oxford and did Aztec Ethnic post graduate studies at Tenochtitlan Technical. She hopes to pay off her student loan soon.

Very lame. Take those droppings and blow up this toon today.

Sure, if they can get the pigeon droppings off the statues, and the guano removed from attic rafters.

CSA used human urine to make gunpowder. Dried it produced 1 of the 3 main chemicals in gunpowder .

Bat guano was an important explosive aboard 1960s space missions. After the Mercury and Gemini capsules splashed down, they had to deploy a 6-foot telescoping radio antenna. The bat guano provided a gentle explosion that locked the antenna sections together without blowing the whole thing apart.

It’s rare that they’ll give three facts in a strip that I already knew, but I already knew all three of these. I do remember being shocked when I first heard each one.

BTW, “The Wizard of Oz” is younger than “The Book of Mormon”.

You use it to shoot the shit.

on this day in history on September 16th 1620 The Pilgrims sail from England on the Mayflower.

Hence the saying “shooting the ————“

Bat caves were sought out for the guano for the manufacture of Black Powder. Actually, Potassium Nitrate, a major part of black powder, can be leached out of any animal manure, even human.

So we gather that the Aztec empire had no institutes of higher learning.

Take care and gesundheit.

so I guess it’s good luck for Betty White to have not been shot or sent to a concentration camp

Thanks Ripley! Now if I’m blocked in a cave by a rock slide I’ll know to use the bat guano to blast the entrance open.

I am ASTONISHED!

Useful facts and I smell an old industry possibly making a comeback.

Coming soon – the Diary of Nobel Peace Prize winner Betty White.

Everyone who is a fan of “Dr. Stone” already knew the bat thing

When Betty White looked like Ann Frank use to make a Aztec blend of gunpowder out of bat poop when she lived near MLK Blvd, she sold a crate to the Oxford duck hunt club for a good price!Wear Nair. Not on the dress.

Bat and pigeon droppings can also be used to make nitrate-based fertilizer — actually a closely related substance to gunpowder.

I think Betty White was born before dirt was invented.

In the words of Rip Haywire, Ka-GUANO!!!

Betty White is actually older than sliced bread. No kidding. Look it up.

That first item reads like something Ruben Bolling would come up with.

That should make passing gas an explosive experience…

In Marine Boot Camp, in 1968, we had a DI that mentioned “bat droppings” a lot but I can’t repeat it here.
