For all the people who continually complain about religious questions, remember to thank the Religious people who brought education to the masses! Without them, you most likely wouldn’t be reading today. Same goes to medicine, ever wonder why hospitals have religious names? Instead of being hateful and ignorant, google it and thank God you learned something!

We had a hassock in the living room growing up. It was a fairly large round piece of furniture, bigger than a foot stool.

I always wondered why Little Miss Muffet sat on her "tuffet"? I thought it was a made up rhyming word.
