CRAP

The first version of water polo, played during the 1800's, required players to float around the pool on wooden barrels that looked like mock horses, hitting the ball with sticks shaped like mallets.

FACT or CRAP ?

FACT

Lack of use forced the U.S. Treasury to stop printing and circulating $1,000 bills.
As of 2009, only 165,000 of these bills were in use.

Not too big to fail! <
