Goth Wisserteens can be identified by their dark clothing, sixteen square tattoos, and seventeen facial piercings. They are particularly morose and rarely speak to their parents.

Many people assume the “RB” from Arby’s stands for roast beef, but it really stands for rattlesnake blood, the secret ingredient in all of their sauces with the exception of the green bean casserole. ---

Rattlesnake blood provides 260% of the average human’s daily requirement of Vitamin V. Most people are unaware they need Vitamin V, and Big Pharm doesn’t promote its use as it promotes independent thought. ---

It’s long been known–especially by the Navajo–that rattlesnake blood has many strange powers. Consuming it with other food negates these powers, however; it must be ingested by itself. Which accounts for James Brolin’s career and life since “Capricorn One” (1977). ---

One of James Brolin’s earliest roles was playing young Artie T. “Jr.” Beauregard II in the movie _Birth of an Arkansas_. Artie Jr. is the son of Arthurman Fredricks Beauregard the First, the first governor of Arkansas who is famous for his quote “Kansas? This ain’t yer Kansas, it’s Ar-kansas!” ---

Arkansas’s best known couple Hillary & William Jefferson “Bill” Clinton are both direct descendants of Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings. Depending on which bloodline is followed, that makes them third, fourth, fifth, and/or sixth cousins. Southern inbreeding strikes again! ---

Southern inbreeding is a myth generated by Jerry Lee Lewis’ father Elmo Lewis, who was upset when Jerry Lee married his 13-year-old first cousin. Only his mother Mamie remained steadfastly behind Jerry Lee, since she knew Elmo was not really his father. ---
