Balch Creek is a 3.5-mile (5.6 km) tributary of the Willamette River in the U.S. state of Oregon. Beginning at the crest of the Tualatin Mountains, the creek flows generally east down a canyon and through Forest Park, a large municipal park in Portland. It then enters a pipe and remains underground until reaching the river. Danford Balch, after whom the creek is named, settled a land claim along the creek in the 19th century, and was the first person legally hanged in Oregon.

Graham Greene's character on the science fiction television series Defiance and Ben Affleck's character in the godawful Michael Bay war film Pearl Harbor both share the relatively uncommon name of "Rafe McCawley." Coincidence? Man, I hope not.

Goats are the Navy's mascot. Being disciplined by Naval Chiefs (E7-E9) is sometimes referred to as "being taken to the goat locker".
'The Captain's Daughter' was the nickname given to the Captain's lash aboard naval ships.
Most blue water naval ships of yore carried a compliment of rum that was rationed out.

in the first rulebook printed for Magic the gathering, a legal deck was at least 40 cards. There wasn't a limit on the number of copies of a card one could have.

One of the reasons that the 4-card rule was added was a tournament-winning deck from 1993 that consisted of nothing but Mountains and Lightning Bolts.

man, I really wouldn't want to work for Thor.
Another MTG fact: for the first set of magic the gathering (Limited Edition Alpha, Limited Edition Beta, and Unlimited Edition) land cards were used as filler on the uncut sheets, including the rare sheet (which had only islands).
As a result, the number of land cards in a starter or booster pack was not standard, and there was a chance that a land card was placed in a pack instead of a card of a given rarity. There was even a 3 percent chance or so that one got an island instead of a rare.

if there's goat viscera in his smile while he's driving his goat mobile around the next day, I'm not thinking that's a positive work environment for the goats...

The paravian dinosaur Anchiornis huxleyi was likely black and grey in color with a reddish brown crest. Scientists studied the melanosomes (the cells that determine pigment) under electron microscopes to make this determination.

I can't wait until they make more discoveries like these!

They've also discovered a fossil penguin that was grey and brown. Cool stuff. There are a few other small feathered dinosaurs that have been analyzed for pigments and their colors estimated based on the findings.

One story I read has it that the goats are magical and resurrect every morning, so Thor can always have a nice dinner. There was a catch in that the bones had to be whole, so Thor had to slaughter them carefully. One time, eating with a mortal, the kid got greedy and broke open a bone to suck out the marrow. The next day, the goat was lame.
Anyways, other facts...
The bacteria that causes cavities is not natural to the body, and is introduced from outside. The problem being the bacteria is hardy, and anything that has been in contact with the mouth can carry it, even if washed.

A common housefly carries about 1941000 bacteria on its body.
