| Optio | Post; Odd Facts you might not knowIf you can be the first to get all these questions right I'll donate 10 milbucks to you. 1. Where is the only place where the U.S. Flag is never in the dark, is flown 24hrs a day, and there is not a light on it? 2. Who was the person who patiented the motion picture? 3. Where does the name WD-40 come from? 4. In the 82nd Airborne patch, what do the 2 AAs stand for? 5. Finally, on an old fashioned type of jump boat how many stiches are in the heal, outside sole, and front of the boot
