Random knowledge thread, for when you find funky stuff that you just don't think people would know. Also a good place to post the day's accumulated knowledge or something interesting or funky you found out today.
Tonight I discovered that hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia is a fear of "666" the number of the beast.

Today's discovery: going in a drive-thru in a horse carriage is a good way to attract attention! That's what I did two days ago!  |

Today's discovery: going in a drive-thru in a horse carriage is a good way to attract attention! That's what I did two days ago! ROFL! I've never tried this! I've tried moving furniture from one flat into another by a tractor (attracts some attention in a town), I've tried moving furniture from one flat into another by a night tram with my drunk friends (also attracts some attention), and I've even tried commuting in a horse-pulled-sleigh into basic school when I was a child (no other mean of transport in winter sometimes). But I've never tried taking a horse carriage into a drive-through. Wasn't the poor horse a bit nervous? |

Ok, a little explanation: I was with my bodies from the local community TV and they asked me to take part in their special Xmas show. For this, we went to a the local Christmas Market (copied on the Alsatian counterpart) where there is a guy making tours with his horse carriage. The guy was bored and so we decided to film a part of the show aboard the carriage while moving around in the city's streets. And then, we thought that it would be fun to go to the drive-through.
The horse wasn't scared: it's just that he stopped way too far from the take-out window. So I had to get down the carriage and get our order. ;D
