        Imagine gathering moss daily, and selecting the softest for His Majesty. No twigs or holly thank you.

        We've only used paper for about a hundred years. One of my grandmothers was born in the 1872 and died in the 1969. Would love to have asked her about the transition from moss to newspaper to izal...

            Charles “Old Hoss” Radbourn, pitcher for the Boston Beaneaters (later the Braves), was captured giving the middle finger to a team photographer. This grainy black-and-white image is considered the earliest known photograph of someone making the gesture.

            Radbourn was known for his fierce competitiveness and iron will. In 1884, he pitched a staggering 678.2 innings and won 59 games, a Major League record that still stands. He was gruff, intense, and short-tempered, a man who once reportedly threatened teammates and argued with umpires regularly.

            The photo wasn’t widely recognized for what it was until more than a century later, when historians and fans looked more closely at the team portrait and spotted Radbourn’s subtle act of defiance.

            It is a small moment frozen in time, but it speaks volumes. Even in baseball’s earliest days, personalities like Radbourn were pushing against decorum with unapologetic flair.

              (x/100) * y == (x * y)/100 == x * (y/100)

              Yeah, that checks out.

                Not to brag, but I already knew that multiplication was commutative.

                        That's not even mildly interesting.

                        I was only joking

                          Well it was a response to the previous post. And if responses are required to be at least mildly interesting then I’m afraid we are both self defeating.
