I'll start.

When James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickock was murdered in a Deadwood saloon in 1876, the poker hand he was holding was reputedly two pairs - black aces and black eights, known since the 1920s (nearly 50 years later) as the dead man's hand. History does not record the 5th card.

However, several other combinations of cards have also held that nick-name, including the full houses Jacks and tens and Jacks and sevens. Some of these were recorded between 1876 and the appearance of the Wild Bill legend in the twenties.

Your turn.

The fact must be a) vaguely interesting and b) utterly pointless. Conveying useful information on this thread is very poor form old boy, very poor form.

Toodle pip.
 
If you throw a cat out of a window it lands on its feet.If you drop a piece of bread and butter it lands butter side down.What happens if you tie a piece of bread and butter to the cats back then throw it out the window?

You get arrested?
 
As of today: if you type "coventry plumbing and heating" into google search, you'll find my website
coventry plumbing and heating and coventry boiler services
and my facebook page:
https://www.************/coventryplumbingandheating
are now both on page 1 Google SERPS for the search term entered.
I believe this to be the most pointless, pointless fact which will be entered on this thread today.

If you can change Vaillants that cheap you can do a few for me and I'll keep the rest of the money.

Nobody will google that phrase mate, or not as many. Tailor it to Coventry plumbers and plumber Coventry etc think about it you wouldn't put Coventry plumbing and heating if you was looking for a plumber

You send the cat into an existential and paradoxical turmoil.

It's an experiment Shrödinger considered before he shut the cat in a box proving, without doubt, it was possible for the cat to be alive, dead and every stage in between.

Electricians have never heard of Shrödinger's cat.......

Trumped!

The offers or only there as a "test" as is the site, as it's still being updated and upgraded. In fact nothing more than a skeleton site, as I'm still trying to get my head around Googles Algo which seems to chop and change on a daily basis. I could well find coventry plumbing and heating and coventry boiler services on page 3 google serps this afternoon!
Once I've sorted out just what offers can be placed thereon, I'll sort those tags and redo all the content in order to sustain good google serps...touchwood.

That's the one I'm working on now; however I cannot do what's required until December, as that's when the new easy to remember phone number and contact details will be placed on the site, plus all other new links and good content, which is king etc. My hands are tied until then.

The biggest problem , I see, we all face is: yell and yellow pages and such like being given priority by googles algo. That is one big hurdle, plus the parked sites which forward link information about local plumbers and such like.

Search for Coventry plumbers:
My facebook page is SERPS 7
WEBSITE SERPS 11
Would as well being on the moon with those SERPS results.

I could attain Google page 1 SERPS for the search term Coventry plumbers within a week or so, but this woud be pointless, as I'd only be passing work on to others. December/January is the time for that SERPS search result. As the site will be totally live then.

P.S. As a little tester, I've, only now, just changed a few pieces on site and now show for the search term "Coventry plumbing" not Coventry plumber, as I do not wish to be on page 1 now.
Google page 1 for the facebook page
Google page 3 for the www.coventryplumbingandheating.co.uk

SIMPLES.

Read the first line and thought we were talking about "Red Dwarf"

If you're googling from the same computer every time it will give you false readings as it remembers your results etc. good luck
 
The word "loan" was never a verb until some years ago; it used to be only a noun.
 
If teleportation was possible , ie move matter around and re assemble the human body could be transfered , but all your knowledge would not , so you would end up being a fully grown adult with the brain of a new born baby !!

So they say !!!

Judging by the mental aptitude of so many uk citizens it apears someone is teleporting whole city populations.
 
Nicholas cages real name is nicholas coppola and his uncle is francis ford coppola

Nicholas Cage named his son Kal-El after the fictional hero Superman's Kryptonian name.
Kal-el roughly translated from the hebrew means The Voice of God.

That light green paste nestled next to the pink ginger in your box of sushi? It is most likely a mix of mustard, European horseradish, and food colouring.


In fact, by some estimates, only 5% of the wasabi served in Japanese restaurants around the world comes from the rhizome, or root, of a wasabi plant.

Lego bricks are made from ABS.
ABS stands for Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene.
Solvent weld waste pipe is made from ABS too.
