FIRST TIME IN THIS THREAD
The town hall on the Simpsons is actually the library in the town I live in. One of the head cartoonists is a guy I went to school with, and he uses different buildings in town (pizza joint too) when he draws.

For automobile leather interiors, English leather is preferable to American leather. US cows are confined by barbed wire, and when they rub up against it, they scar their hides. English cows are confined by wooden fences and have much less scar tissue.

If the posts needed appreciation, this thread would have died weeks ago - check the post history.
Just find a tidbit, and put it here.
I do appreciate the help. Hell, it's not even my thread.
