Coan bhcrow 07-22-2007, 10:19 PM Most bones in the human body are connected to each other at joints. But there are a few bones that are not connected to any other bone. Instead, they are connected only to tendons or are embedded in muscle. These are the sesamoids. The kneecap (patella) is the largest sesamoid. Two other very small sesamoids (about the size of a kernel of corn) are found in the underside of the forefoot near the great toe, one on the outer side of the foot and the other closer to the middle of the foot. tohann 07-22-2007, 10:19 PM Uxbridge, Mass Uxbridge Fire Chief Peter Ostroskey :) jokosr 07-22-2007, 10:21 PM Mark Taylor, Fire Marshal Livingston legend burns in 8-alarm fire Huxy 07-22-2007, 10:22 PM Fire ravages old Uxbridge mill Bill Kessler, deputy chief of the Uxbridge Fire Department, was one of the few firefighters able to enter a burning mill building yesterday.

Brannock for computing a person's shoe size. The son of a shoe industry entrepreneur, Brannock spent two years developing a simple means of measuring the human foot. He eventually improved on the wooden RITZ Stick, the industry standard of the day, and patented his first prototype in 1926. Brannock later formed the Brannock Device Company to manufacture and sell the product, and headed the company until 1992 when he died at age 89. Today the Brannock Device is an international standard of the footwear industry, and the Smithsonian Institution houses samples of some of the first Brannock Devices. 17:48:49 - July 22nd, 2007 100.00 Geos were deposited into the Bavarian Lib Front account by ghetto bob.

The first electric chair was made by Harold P. Brown. On May 25, 1979, John Arthur Spenkelink became the first electrocuted person after the Gregg v.

I would rather be living in Philadelphia. * This was an epitaph Fields proposed for himself in a 1925 article in Vanity Fair. It refers to his long standing jokes about Philadelphia (his actual birthplace), and the grave being one place he might actually not prefer to be. This is often repeated as "On the whole, I'd rather be in Philadelphia.", or "All things considered, I'd rather be in Philadelphia." which he might have stated at other times. It has also sometimes been distorted into a final dig at Philadelphia: "Better here than in Philadelphia." His actual tomb at Forest Lawn in Glendale, California simply reads "W. C. Fields 1880 - 1946". ghetto bob 07-24-2007, 01:48 AM 19:14:07 - July 23rd, 2007 100.00 Geos were deposited into the HtZ account by ghetto bob.
