Tequila Shooter Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 A group of hippos is called a bloat. A male whale is called a bull. A female whale is called a cow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Pablo Escobar had a private zoo which included four hippos, who have now multiplied to at least 16. It has not yet been decided whether they are a detriment to the environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punxsutawneypete Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Here is some information that is probably useless to 99.99% of the population, but I made my living with it for 38 years: Linear land measurements 1 rod = 1 perch = 1 pole = 16.5 feet 1 chain = 4 perches = 66 feet = 100 links 1 link = .66 feet = 8 inches Area land measurements 1 acre = 160 square perches = 43,560 square feet 40 square perches = 1/4 acre = 1 rood (not rod) The old time measurements were found in recent deeds because older deeds were just copied over and over without being resurveyed. I used to study the chains of title to real property that used these ancient types of measure in the deeds. Because I was familiar with these old measurements it has been insinuated that I was George Washington's rod man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 My home farm in West Texas was on a labor of land (Lah-Bore). Originally part of the Yellowhouse Land Company that was derived from the XIT ranch when sold for farming. A labor is ca. 177 acres and is about 1/25 of a league of land in the old Spanish measurement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
