Wildly insightful! Cause and effect explanation at it's finest!

The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used?

Well, because that's the way they built them in England, and English engineers designed the first US railroads. Why did the English build them like that?

Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the wagon tramways, and that's the gauge they used. So, why did 'they' use that gauge then?

Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they had used for building wagons, which used that same wheel spacing. Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing?

Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break more often on some of the old, long distance roads in England . You see, that's the spacing of the wheel ruts. So who built those old rutted roads?

Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (including England ) for their legions. Those roads have been used ever since.
And what about the ruts in the roads?
Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match or run the risk of destroying their wagon wheels. Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome , they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing. Therefore the United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot. Bureaucracies live forever.

So the next time you are handed a specification/procedure/process and wonder 'What horse's ass came up with this?', you may be exactly right. Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the rear ends of two war horses. (Two horses' asses.)

Now, the twist to the story:
When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory in Utah . The engineers who designed the SRBs would have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains, and the SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses' behinds.

So, a major Space Shuttle design feature, of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system, was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse's ass.

And you thought being a horse's ass wasn't important? Ancient horse's asses control almost everything!

It's plausible that the Nile did, in fact, run red as the Bible suggests.

One possible explanation is known as the “burgundy-blood phenomenon”. First proposed by Greta Hort in the 1950s, the idea suggests that during the reign of Ramesses II (1303 - 1213 BC) the climate of the capital city Pi-Ramesses began to change from a wet and tropical climate to become drier and more desert-like. As the Nile turned from fast-flowing into a slower, muddier river, it may have provided the perfect conditions for millions of flagellates (specifically Euglena sanguinea and Haematoccus pluvalius, according to Hort) to thrive.

These algae could account for more than just the blood-red color of the river, as their toxicity would explain the death of fish mentioned in the Bible, whilst also accounting for the smell.

The algae could also have forced frogs to leave the river (plague two) before dying. With these predators gone, he suggests, insects would have flourished (plagues three and four), which could have led to the disease of livestock (plague five) and boils (plague six). That’s a whole lotta plague for a bit of algae.

"Strive to be a warrior and a scholar! Be forged by fire and tempered by knowledge! If not, you will lack the courage to fight for your ideals, or lack ideals worth fight for! Life is too short to be little! Man is never so manly as when he feels deeply, acts boldly, and expresses himself with frankness and with fervour! A warrior must be a scholar! The society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting by fools!"
