From the web…
I recently sold two cars: a 15-year-old SUV and an eight-year-old Tesla. The SUV had an entertainment center and what we'd now consider a rudimentary navigation system. The Tesla, of course, was a rolling computer.
Both had my personal data embedded onboard. The SUV's navigation system, for example, had a pin on its map identifying "Home". There's likely additional personal information stored as well, as it was paired to a couple of our mobile phones. The Tesla has a more extensive nav system and likely kept quite a bit of performance, history, and other information in addition to the same "Home" and mobile phone pairings.
The tip is this: before handing over the keys to your car to someone else, take the time to locate and use the Reset to Factory or Remove Personal Data options for your vehicle. It'll be in different places, of course. The Tesla even required connectivity to remove the car from my online account.
This is important to avoid exposing more of your information than you expected to the car's next owner.

Herring in a fur coat salad is an Eastern European favorite for the holidays, also known as "fur coat" or shuba.

E gyptian pharaohs were seen by their subjects as gods — but sometimes, those “gods” had to prove their worth. This occurred at a jubilee-style celebration meant to reaffirm an aging ruler’s kingship, known as the Heb-Sed or Sed festival. The tradition dates back to the first dynasty of ancient Egypt, around 3000 BCE, and usually took place in the 30th year of a pharaoh’s reign (and every three years after that). The event was filled with sacrifices, crownings, and other lavish displays; the Heb-Sed of Amenhotep III, for instance, featured the construction of temples and colossal sculptures all along the Nile valley. But the main event was a footrace run by the pharaoh — dressed in a kilt with an attached animal tail — to demonstrate their physical fitness.
According to Egyptologists, ancient Egyptians likely related the health of their ruler to the overall health and virility of the kingdom. If a pharaoh couldn’t complete the race, it signaled that it was time to make way for a younger, healthier leader. Of course, thousands of years before modern medicine, 30 years was a long life span, and only a small percentage of pharaohs lived long enough to celebrate a Heb-Sed. Not all of them passed the test: Although a simple footrace may seem like a relatively easy method for reaffirming your reign, pharaohs were not nearly as svelte or athletic as hieroglyphics and ancient carvings would have us believe. Many kings and queens were plagued with various maladies caused by inbreeding, as well as obesity: A pharaoh’s diet, often filled with beer, wine, bread, and honey, contained an awful lot of sugar.

A blonde kidnaps a kid from school and writes a ransom note saying “Leave $50,000 by the big oak tree in the park or you’ll never see your kid again. Signed, a blonde.” But then, she realizes she doesn’t know where the kid lives, so she gives the note to the kid and asks him to take it home and give it to his mother.
The next day, she goes to the tree and finds a gym bag with the money, and a note:
“How could you do this to a fellow blonde?”

In 1995, Dr. Angus Wallace, a well-known orthopedic surgeon, saved a woman’s life during a flight from Hong Kong to London.
Earlier that day, Paula Dixon had been in a motorcycle accident on her way to the airport and had injuries. But she decided to fly anyway. While in the air, 10 km above the ground, she started complaining of severe chest pain. Dr. Wallace was called to help and quickly figured out what was wrong: she had a serious lung injury caused by a broken rib that punctured her lung.
With only a coat hanger, a catheter, and a bottle of brandy available, Dr. Wallace performed emergency surgery. He inserted a tube into her chest to release the trapped air. Within minutes, Paula started feeling much better. After the procedure, Dr. Wallace drank the rest of the brandy, saying, "I can tell I needed it."

The first time I read "1984" I was in 6th grade. In the scene where Winston Smith is talking with an old guy in a pub the old guy is complaining about the metric system, and how it ruined drinking in the pub. Something like, "A half litre isn't enough, and a litre is too much. Now a pint is just right." Wait....a half litre is MORE than a pint! So how could it be not enough. Pulled out my big red Websters Dictionary and looked up weights and measures. AH! The English use bigger pints and quarts than we do!
But not 25% bigger as many would have you believe, more like 19%.

So why would their 10 month years be the same length as our 12 month years?
They weren’t.. that’s why Julius invented the eponymous calendar.

A little less than “Everyman and his dog” though.
