So I am looking at a baby bottle that was made in England. On the side, there are marks for the UK fluid ounce and the US fluid ounce. The UK fluid ounce is apparently a tiny bit smaller than the US fluid ounce. Um, why? Isn't a fluid ounce a fluid ounce? If anyone knows the answer, I am dying to know.
My dad taught me something interesting. Apparently, all countries used to drive on the left side of the road. This was because knights would have their shield in their left hands so they would approach their opponents from the left. However, Napoleon was left-handed, so when he was ruling France, he changed the rules so now people drive on the right side of the road. Got to love that French ancestry. :-)

Well, I guess that means that oncoming drivers are our opponents. I think we've also discovered the origin of road rage.
So road rage is really in my blood! I'm doing my ancestors proud.
