{a classic} 1470

When the Lord made Man, all the parts of the body argued over who would be the Boss.

The Brain explained that since he controlled all the parts of the body, he should be Boss.

The Legs argued that since they took the Man wherever he wanted to go, he should be the Boss.

The Stomach countered with the explanation that since he digested all the food, he should be the boss.

The Eyes said that without them, Man would be helpless, so they should be Boss.

Then the Ass Hole applied for the Job. The other parts of the body laughed so hard that the ass hole became mad and closed up.

After a few days the Brain went foggy, the Legs got wobbly, the Stomach got ill, the Eyes got crossed and were unable to see.

They all finally conceded and made the Ass Hole Boss.

This proves you don't have to be a Brain to be the Boss...Just an Ass Hole.

Here's one I heard during a trip to Arkansas once. I'd have to confirm it, but it sounds reasonable.

If you look at the left (western) edge of the state, you'll notice there's a diagonal part, and then a jog where it goes more or less vertical.
While mapping out the state, the surveyors were OFF on the western boundary (I can't say I remember why, now), but rather than go back and correct it, they just paid off a few of the Native American tribes for the encroachment into "Indian Territory." Otherwise the western edge should have been one straight, continuous latitude line.

1477........was a good year

The Lincoln penny was the first time a president appeared on any coin, and was to have been for one year only, marking the 100th anniversary of the president's birth. It's now the oldest such coin still in circulation, and will be 100 years old itself in 2009.

dadaist..you forgot to post a number!!!

1480

While many Americans are aware that the Susan B Anthony was the first time a historical American woman appeared on a US coin (previous appearances of women on US coinage were just as "mythological" figures), there were actually FOUR years the coin was minted.
1979, 1980, 1981 and 1999.
A new batch had to be rushed through the mint in 1999, because, while the dollar coin has NOT been very popular in recent years, it IS used in certain vending machines, and the supply of older SBA dollar coins was running out. The law for the new Sacajawea dollars could NOT take effect until 2000 (and I'm not sure the dies for making the new coins were ready anyhow).

Also, if you go to www.usmint.gov and read about the 50 state quarter program, you'll find out the initial proposal was for 50 state DOLLAR COINS, with the different reverses on the SBA dollar, not the Washington Quarter Dollar! This was amended in later versions of the legislation.

...2003 is the mid-year of the program, started in 1999. By the end of 2003, with the Arkansas state quarter, 25 of the 50 states will have had their own quarters minted.

Note of course that for the southern states, only the dates of original admission to the union are being used, not dates of post-civil war readmission.

The last year of the program is 2008, provided that no NEW states are added to the union in those remaining 5 years (which is highly unlikely).
