Hercules is an English Mastiff and has a 38 inch neck and weighs 282 pounds.
With “paws the size of softballs” (reports the Boston Herald), the three-year-old monster is far larger and heavier than his breed’s standard 200lb.

and grew.

A question was asked in examination of physics paper of senior secondary:

“SHOW HOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THE HEIGHT OF A TALL BUILDING WITH
THE AID OF A BAROMETER.”

The student had answered, “Take the barometer to the top of the
building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and then
bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of the rope
is the height of the building.”

The teacher was about to give a zero for his answer to a physics question, while the student
claimed a perfect score. The instructor and the student agreed to an impartial arbiter. Read the full story…………….
The student really had a strong case for full credit since he had really
answered the question completely and correctly! On the other hand, if
full credit were given, it could well contribute to a high grade in
his physics course and to certify competence in physics, but the answer
did not confirm this.

A woman in a faded gingham dress and her husband, dressed in a homespun
threadbare suit, stepped off the train in Boston, and walked timidly,
without an appointment, into the Harvard University President’s outer
office. The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods, country
hicks had no business at Harvard and probably didn’t even deserve to be in
Cambridge.
“We want to see The President,” the man said softly.
“He’ll be busy all day,” the secretary snapped.
“We’ll wait,” the woman replied.

For hours, the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally
become discouraged and go away. They didn’t and the secretary grew
frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president, even though it was
a chore she always regretted. “Maybe if you see them for a few minutes,
they’ll leave,” she said to him.
He sighed in exasperation and nodded. Someone of his importance obviously
didn’t have the time to spend with them, but he detested gingham dresses and
homespun suits cluttering up his outer office. The president, stern faced
and with dignity, strutted toward the couple.

Have a history teacher explain this if they can ! Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.

John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946. Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860. John F. Kennedy was elected President in1960. Both were particularly concerned with civil rights. Both wives lost a child while living in the White House. Both Presidents were shot on a Friday. Both Presidents were shot in the head.

Now it gets really weird. Lincoln’s secretary was named Kennedy. Kennedy’s Secretary was named Lincoln. Both were assassinated by Southerners. Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson. Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808. Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908. John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839. Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939. Both assassins were known by their three names. Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat ! Lincoln was shot at the theater named “Ford.” Kennedy was shot in a car called “Lincoln” made by “Ford.” Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials. And here’s the “kicker”: A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland. A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe. and Lincoln was shot in a theater and the assassin ran to a warehouse.

Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and the assassin ran to a theater.
