Where did the phrase "raining cats and dogs" come from?

Well, back when thatched roofs were popular, cats and dogs would often stay in the rafters where warm air rose to.  But when it rained heavily, and some of that rain seeped through the roof, the cats and dogs would abandon the rafters, leaping down to the floor.  Thus, raining cats and dogs.

Millicent Fawcett ... now has statue in Parliament Square. I can never remember if she was a hero at mending taps or better at something more cerebral.

I think Emily Davis probably won the case as she was destined to fall under a horse whic is more dramatic.

Ultimatly we all go back to whence we came. I may meet you there if cyber-cloud-Z3 survives. Keep up the good work.

Did you know that guinea pigs produce two types of shit and eat the one type instantly after deposition?
It serves the same purpose as rumination.

[Aggie]

Yes, my mother (until recently) was a guinea pig owner.  They don't really deposit their "soft serves" but take them straight from the source as they come out.
