Some "Damn Interesting" Tidbits

I've been saving these up for some time now - they're all from a site appropriately called "Damn Interesting." Everything I read there is (ahem) interesting, often informative and sometimes disgusting. I try to steer clear of the latter, if for no other reason than I don't particularly like feeling queasy. So - here are the selections for the day.

• In honor of the season - the Christmas Truce of 1914
• This lie detector story reminded me of a somewhat distubring book I read awhile ago called, The Truth Machine
• The only palindrome I've known is, "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama" - now I know some in Finnish as well.
• Finally, this is absolutely the car I want to be driving!
