The Funny Bone A guy in a bar leans over to the

guy next to him and says, “You

want to hear a great redneck

joke?”

The guy next to him replies,

“Before you tell that joke you

should know something. I’m six

foot four, two hundred pounds

and I’m proud to be a redneck.

The guy sitting next to me is six

foot two, two hundred twenty-

five pounds and my brother,

which makes him a redneck

also. The fella next to him is our

cousin, he is six foot five and

two hundred and sixty-five

pounds and he can whoop both

me and my brother cause he’s a

big redneck. Now are you sure

you want to tell me a great

redneck joke?”

The guy thinks for a moment

and then says, “Nah, I don’t

want to have to explain it three

times.”

Stop on Red and Go on White??? In the 19th century, rail yards all used their own signal systems. Then, in 1841,

railway bigwig Henry Booth pushed to standardize Britain's color scheme,

suggesting red signal "stop," white signal "go," and green signal "caution."

Decades later, after a train plowed through a stop signal when a red lens popped

off, causing a fake white "go" light and a nasty crash, officials decided to

eliminate confusion by giving green an upgrade.

Traffic lights, which were just appearing on American roads, piggybacked on the

new color scheme--with a few exceptions. In New York City until 1925, drivers

going east or west stopped at an amber light and drove on green, while drivers

going north or south drove on amber and stopped at green. Weird!

What Does SPF Really Mean?

SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor, and it indicates a sunscreen's

ability to block UVB rays pioneered in 1972 and published by the

FDA in 1978.

30 times longer without burning than if you were wearing no

protection at all. So, theoretically, you should have approximately

600 minutes, or 10 hours, in the sun. But it's not an exact science

because the amount of UV light that reaches us depends on a number

of factors, including cloud cover, the time of day, and the reflection

of UV rays off the ground, so it's generally recommended that you

reapply sunscreen every two hours (or even sooner!).

Think Kids Have Summers Off For Farming? Wrong! Before the Civil War, farm kids never had summers off. In 1842,

Detroit's academic year lasted 260 days! But as cities got denser, they

got hotter. Endless lanes of brick and concrete transformed urban

blocks into kilns, thanks to the "urban heat island effect." That's when

America's swelling middle and upper class families started hightailing

it to the cooler countryside. And that caused a problem. School

attendance wasn't mandatory back then, and classrooms were being left

half-empty each summer. Something had to give.

Legislators, in one of those if-you-can't-beat-'em-join-'em moments,

started arguing that kids should get summers off anyway. It helped that,

culturally, leisure time was becoming more important. With the dawn

of labor unions and the eight-hour workday, working adults were

getting more time to themselves than ever before. Advocates for

vacation time also argued (incorrectly) that the brain was a muscle, and

like any muscle, it could suffer injuries if overused. From there, they

argued that students shouldn't go to school year-round because it could

strain their brains. To top it off, air conditioning was decades away, and

city schools during summertime were miserable, half-empty ovens.

The numbers themselves stand for the approximate

measure of time a person who has applied the

sunscreen can stay out in the sun without getting

burned. Say you get burned after 20 minutes in the

sun without sunscreen; if properly applied (and

reapplied), SPF 30 will allow you to stay in the sun
