The Missouri State Legislature fell just one vote short of changing their state motto to “I’m _not_ gonna pay a lot for this muffler.” Up until 1832, the number “seven” was called “Phil”. Magnetic compass accuracy is severely compromised when placed in a copper smelter - but an _aluminum_ smelter has no deleterious effects whatsoever !!! ---
