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!

Booger Hollow, Missouri. Population: 7 and one coon dog.

Stopped there with my dad on a trip to Branson one year. It's just as exciting as it sounds.

Two for One...
1.) The Germans are not an issue any longer so Cleveland PD is replacing its Shepards with Coon Dogs.

2.) East Liverpool, OH is Home to the Ceramics & Potery Hall of Fame & Museum.

Re: Useless Trivia 1 year ago #107906

I've heard that at any given time you are never less than three feet from a spider..not sure if that's true but definately something to think about

Re: Useless Trivia 1 year ago #107908

That was supposed to say Rover's sore pee pee (auto correct)

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
