Here is an interesting legal fact, and probably my favorite law factoid. I've thrown it up before, but this is the right thread for it:

Texas Penal Code defines a riot as 7 or more people. This was based on the fact that a revolver could hold 6 bullets. Thus a peace officer should be able to dispatch 6 criminals with relative ease, but the reload presented problems. A riot is still today defined as 7 or more people.

RIP CRAZYWOLF

I don't know if this is actually a fact or something that I heard once. I can tell you that I have yet to meet someone that this does not apply to.

Your foot is the same size as your forearm.

Lol...I can see you all trying this right now. Just make sure to press up against your foot since it has it's arch and you need to account for that little difference too.
