I actually know this one. While it is a fact that he carried a roll of dimes with him, the reason listed is crap. Should I tell the real reason? (Hint: Pay phones took dimes in the 60's.)

I agree with the idea of it being a fact, and it may also be that the reason he gave others for it was to use as a weapon, but it sounds more realistic that he would use them as Prisoner said.

fact (I think he lied about them being for the phone. Also, back in his more pugnacious days the phone was a nickel.)

Happy Tuesday! Here are results from yesterday's FoC: Did Frank Sinatra carrie a roll of dimes in case he had to knock someone out?
Fact | 10 | Crap | 8 | Half and Half | 3 | Kudos to the "Half and Half crowd" 'cause you've really nailed this one (although the calendar says it's. . . CRAP! "Sinatra did always carry a roll of dimes, but it grew out of the kidnapping of his son, Frank Jr., in 1963. The kidnappers told Sinatra to call only from pay phones--and during one call he ran out of coins. He vowed never to be without dimes again. He ended up paying the ransom of $250,000. The kidnappers were eventually caught, and Frank never stopped carrying a roll of dimes." My take on it is that Frank probably had someone else knock out the punks, when needed. Okay, so here goes for Tuesday, January 17, 2006:
The only place where a flag flies all day at full mast but does not get saluted is the moon. FACT or CRAP? Discuss!

I'll say crap. I bet there are some flags flying in the far North, Antartica, or somewhere else remote as well.

well, it depends upon your definition of all day. a day is 24 hours and if that is the definition then it is a fact. if one says that all day is the normal daylight hours of 12 hours or less then it is crap.

Fact cuz they take the flags down at dusk at most places, unless there is a light shining on it. Also they can fly at half mast

I think it depends on your definition of flag. Do you mean the flag of the good ole US of A (or another country)? Or a flag such as those that fly to indicate an open house or new development or something?
