Re: ***STRANGE FACTS THAT MOST DON'T KNOW
Oh boy, I once had to debunk this little gem in the past... So here you go !! Also note, you will not see this in the pages of Guns & Ammo either
You did pay attention in school, but unfortunately they taught you wrong. Again, this is another fine example of a reincarnation of a saying.. You mean there was another?? Of course there was, so pull up a chair, I'm gonna learn you something.
Believe it, or not, this story goes back to the biblical days of none other than King Solomon. I am sure that you have heard the following in regards to Solomon's wisdom
In one account, known as the Judgment of Solomon, two women came before Solomon to resolve a quarrel about which was the true mother of a baby. One mother had her baby die in the night after rolling over it in her sleep and crushing it; each claims the surviving child as her own. When Solomon suggests dividing the living child in two with a sword, the true mother is revealed to him because she is willing to give up her child to the lying woman, as heartbreaking a decision as it is. Solomon then declares the woman who shows compassion to be the true mother, and gives the baby back to her.
King Solomon held court weekly, where people would settle their disputes through his great wisdom. It wasn't even an hour after the above judgment that gave birth to "Don't go off 1/2 cocked" Shocked
It was the story of two warring merchants that both laid claim to a prize winning stud rooster. Spunky, the roosters actual name was legendary in his ability to impregnate other chickens. After hearing the 2 me argue about ownership, Solomon leaned over and said, I am sure the 2 of you were here when I made the judgment on the baby. I am tired of your foolishness and I will cut that SOB in 1/2 if you men can't agree. So I suggest that you "don't go off 1/2 cocked".
Now you again have the true meaning...
It's a shame that it seems I am only privy to the truth, but not to worry, I will gladly share on my knowledge and enlighten all of you
