For too long to remember, people have been using 'SHOTGUN' as a way of saying that they get to sit in the front seat of a vehicle, because this, of course, is a position favoured by everyone, fro the view, the extra leg room & of course getting to change the cd or radio channel. THere is quite a history to the whole idea of 'shotgun' and being from the U.K, I never really used it much until my school suddenly came upon, and started using it for other things, like if someone has food they're givin away, they'll shout shotgun, and it will be theres.
Anyway, this is a great website showing the history, and the very precise rules that you must obey when performing a shotgun.
Wow, I'd never heard of this kind of shotgun (The kind used for food and the passenger seat). The only type of shotgun I've heard of is the type of gun found on some of the modern shooting games, such as Half Life or Unreal Tournament. Is always interesting to find out new things though. Thanks for sharing. I now know about two types of shotgun
If I recall correctly, this seat or the "shotgun seat" is also called many affection and macabre names due towards the high mortality rate of passengers who sit there. When I worked on my senior high project with the local corroner, we saw alot of messed up stuff happen to people who were sitting in that particular seat.
Wow, I never thought that they could make a book on such random things. I've always heard and even used the term 'shot gun' but never realize that it even had a history. They should try to explain more of these phenomanons like 'punch bugs' or other ones.
Well, since I have come to discussion about best government system and aside of that me and the
topic starter have started arguing about best soldier unit in a sense. And since we are somewhat
polluting that topic I have decided to start new topic afterwards I may add some poll so we would be
able to see which units are the best in deed. So let's hear all of yours opinions and
let's argue about it. My preferable units would be legionaries and Spartans. I will leave
explanation for some other post.....
Vitamin is very well known nutrients to us. It required a little amount in our body but played a
vital role. There are two types of vitamin, such as water soluble vitamin and fat soluble vitamin.
Fat soluble vitamins are Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E and Vitamin K; and water soluble vitamins
are Vitamin B-complex and Vitamin C. All vitamins are not discovered together. In 1909 Vitamin A
was isolated from cod liver oil. Another name of Vitamin A is retinol. Vitamin D was also isolated
from cod liver oil, but 9 years after the discovery of Vitamin A. The discovery year....
Hi all, I am unsure with my subject choices.. we had to pick 4 subjects, as well as Maths and
English (making a total of 6, as well as Religious Education and House Study- i don't consider
them subjects as such) so we had to pick them mid-last year, so I chose Geography, Modern History,
Economics and French. Now I picked Modern History because it gives you lots of practice in essay
writing, researching and referencing which is good for our OP (and QCS tests) and later life. I got
a B+ when we did history for half of last year (and geography for the other half). Bu....

Today in history class we talked about the Roaring 20's and about prohibition. We also watched
the Simpson's episode about prohibition. Before I start, here is the actual 18th amendment about
prohibition. 1. After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or
transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation
thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage

As you probably know, European Union wants to introduce universal history handook for all students
in countries that belong to EU. In may 2007 there was a big debate about it on some meeting and
Polish minister of education as the only one, criticized the idea. He is some kind of nationalist
but this is not the point. The point is - do you think that it is possible to create the same
handbook for all European countries keeping in mind their completely different histories? Do you
think that is is possible to make a list of most importan events in European history that cou....
One of the most popular prescribed drug for treating acne is (Isotretinoin) Accutane. Although it
has a pretty high success rate, there are many studies out that now claim Accutane can cause very
serious side effects. Isotretinoin (the generic name for accutane) is used to treat the most severe
and disfiguring cases of nodular acne. In the twenty years since accutane's release it has been
linked to numerous life threatening side effects. It has been the subject of many court cases and
even a United States congressional hearing. Over the last 20 years there have....
Allegiance (also known as free allegiance) is a first person shooter game that is heavely based on
team play. It was hard for me to decide which section to place this game as it is a combonation of
first person shooter, real time strategy, massively multiplayer, and simulation. The game is placed
in space where you can have games as big as 200 people playing at once against each other with up to
eight teams. You can have different rules, but the most common is conquerer (you control all
stations in the game). You can download the game at http://www.freeallegiance.org/....
It was a wet Saturday evening, my uncle, who had come to visit from Canada decided that we go out
for dinner. Since my sister was too tired from work she decided to stay back so my mother, uncle and
I took the car to go to a pizza outlet some 10 kms from my house.I was driving our Maruti Suzuki Zen
with my uncle in the passenger seat and my mother at back. On our way back I took a wrong turn which
put us on a road without a divider. I took a U-turn and started driving back on the same road. Now
my side of the road was completely deserted while there was some moderate tra....

As we go about our everyday lives things seem to just pass by and technology is all around us. When
we go into a grocery store and the cashier scans the items we don’t think how that scanner
works, and where the information goes. Sometimes we use credit cards to process our transactions
when we are paying for our bill, but how does this all work? Computer’s abilities are often
overlooked whether it is at the home or the office. Most people don’t realize all the work
computers are doing when you are browsing the Internet or typing a paper on Microsoft wo....

A resistor is an electronic component that reduces electrical current between two terminals because
of Ohm’s law. The term resistance occurs when an object blocks the flow of electricity, thus
reducing voltage. Many household appliances produce resistance such as the light bulb because of
the filament in the bulb. Resistors are objects that specify in resistance to reduce currents for
small electronics. A German physicist, Geog Ohm, was a professor at the college at Cologne in 1817
and in the polytechnic school of Nuremberg in 1833, and in 1852 became professor of ex....

which teaches you to systematically evade any attack, by learning never to fight force against force

force which enables you to effectively move and evade an attack without having to know when or where
it is aimed. The system is ideal for modern self-defence situations. In fact WT i....

You know, those trash cans which have some kind of button at their bottom. So you can press it with
your foot, and its top opens itself. By this you can ditch your trash without bending and opening
trashcan. Anyway, lets make this system to toilet-seat (closet?) So for men, they can just press
the bottom button with his foot while urinating in stand-up. This will save us time, and you never

up to 50,000 hours. Point for LCD QUOTE 2- One of plasma technology'....

13.5 tons of bank notes ($65m). It might have taken them three months to dig the tunnel. When
I was watching the news today, I heard someone saying the one who had planned this robbery was very
intelligent. I guess he isn't that much because Brazilian Federal Police has already found their
fingerprints on a phone. How could they forget about wearing gloves??? /tongue....
My wife got on my case this morning about my leaving the toilet seat lid up during the night when I
got up to take a whiz. Apparently she almost took the plunge when she went in there in the dark and
took a seat. My response to her was that she never lifts the lid for me after she's done, so
why do I need to put the lid down when I'm finished. Why can't everyone just look out for
themselves when it comes to peeing? Is this too much too ask? Do women not want equal rights in the
toilet area?....
