The Dixie Cup was created on March 23, 1912.

The origin of "To be stuck between a rock and a hard place" is taken from the ancient Greek mythology of "The Odyssey". In his efforts to return home, Odysseys must pass between Scylla and Charybdis. Scylla was a horrible man-eating monster (sounds pretty cool) that struck from above on the cliffs (the "rock") while Charydbis was a treacherous whirlpool (the "hard place"). Hence "to be stuck between a rock and a hard place" is to have a dilemma.

or- yer fucked!

Urban Myth type knowledge...

Started on an episode of Law and Order the other night and on there one of the characters said, "You are only ever six feet away from a spider at any given time".

Spiders live on and under the ground. They also live in walls and vents. And many species of spider are very tiny - too small to see unless you're an inch away from them.

This is one of those statistics that starts with a presumption of a) the number of people on the planet, b) the number of spiders on the planet, c) the square footage of the planet, etc, etc. It starts breaking down when you get very detailed
