I got this one today. George W. Bush is a member of The Order of Skull and Bones.

According to "dissident" Bones members interviewed by Alexandra Robbins for her book Secrets of The Tomb [p. 5], members dine off a set of Adolf Hitler's silverware while in the tomb, consuming expensive gourmet meals with each other over the span of the year. Members are given new code names. The members call themselves "Knights," and simultaneously call everyone else in the world at large "barbarians." Another dissociation is that clocks in the Bones "tomb" run intentionally five minutes ahead of the rest of the world, to give the members an ongoing sense that the Bonesmen's space is a totally separate world \ and a world just a bit ahead of the curve of the rest of the "barbarians" outside.

Take these with a grain of salt. There are some typos and apparently (according to the comments) myths.

14. A female ferret will die if it goes into heat and cannot find a mate.

Ahh, if that would only apply to fangirls....

*puts on tool belt*

It's because a 2x4 is usually framing material, 1/4" plywood/drywall is often attached to each side making the full 2 or 4 inches.
