wonder where the word SHIT comes from?</p> <P align="center">Well,
here it is:</p> <P align="center">Certain
types of manure used to be transported (as everything was years ago) by ship. </p> <P align="center">In
dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet, but once water (at sea) hit it, it
not only </p> <P align="center">became
heavier, but the process of fermentation began again, of which a by-product is </p> <P align="center">methane
gas. As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles you can see what could </p> <P align="center">(and
did) happen. Methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone </p> <P align="center">came
below at night with a lantern, BOOOOM! Several ships were destroyed in this </p> <P align="center">manner
before it was discovered what was happening. After that, the bundles of manure </p> <P align="center">were
always stamped with the term "S.H.I.T" on them which meant to the
sailors to </p> <P align="center">"Ship
High In Transit."</p> <P align="center">In
other words, high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into
the </p> <P align="center">hold
would not touch this volatile cargo and start the production of methane.</p> <P align="center">Bet
you didn't know the history of that word.</p> <P align="center">Neither
did we.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/75D7DE03-6D97-48EF-8E8D-E9A4630F445D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
