To be fair, that fact is kind of deceptive. You can replace cigarette smoking with almost anything other than hard drugs (cocaine, etc) and increase your life expectancy. As for alcohol,it depends on use/abuse. A glass of wine a day or a few beers now and then is perfectly healthy, while getting wasted regularly is going to damage your liver and kidneys and severely reduce life expectancy.

Very true, wasn't trying to say smoking weed increases your life expectancy.

Meant it more like:
+ Smoking + Drinking = 10-15 years taken away from you.

Replacing the two with marajuanna is healthier for you, but I imagine cutting all would be the ideal idea for a long life lol.

The Egyptian pyramids have 8 sides not four. You can only tell this by flying over them on I believe the equinoxes. The 8 sides are concave. So it looks like 4 but a British WWII pilot discovered that it was indeed 8

And to keep with my portal quotes,
"The Schrödinger's cat paradox, is the theory that a cat in a box is both alive and dead simultaneously.  Schrödinger invented this paradox as a justification for killing cats."

There was originally only 10 months. The names of the months were indicative of their order. september - septa (meaning 7), october - octa (meaning 8 ), november - nova (meaning 9) december - deca (meaning 10). The reason they are no longer the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th months is because July was inserted into the calendar after bring invented by roman emperor Julius Caesar and named after himself.  August was inserted into the calender after being invented by roman emperor Augustus Ceasar and named after himself, effectively pushing back the last four months by two slots.
