None of the buffalo ( bison ) living in America today are pure-bred buffalos; they are all cattle-buffalo hybrids.

FACT or CRAP ?
This is all crap. None of the "buffalo" in America are even buffalo, they're bison. Sorry, upstate New Yorkers.


Fun fact (unlike the crap in PITA's calendar): American plain bison's scientific name is Bison bison bison.


Also, this is pretty much the best thing ever:

When I read this I was hearing the [ Bison bison bison ] in Jan Brady's voice " Marsha Marsha Marsha "

BB when ever C-6 hears them talking bout Joey he does that " Joey Joey Joey "

CRAP

Jefferson scholars believe that Thomas Jefferson wrote his draft of the American Declaration of Independednce on paper made from flax or linen rags. Not as exciting as hemp paper, is it?

In Greek and Norse mythology, Vile is the name of Thor's uncle, an uncle who is also the nephew of Hercules.
