Origin of the word 'gay'

Okay, my Gramps was the first to tell me this fact, but the word 'gay' as a word to describe homosexuals actually is an acronym that means 'Good As You'. I didn't get an exact date for this one, but from the conversation, me thinks somewhere in the 60's he heard about this (although after a bit of a search on the interweb, it actually seems to go back to 1910s or 1920s). Interesting though eh?

Fight with a paving slab



I thought this story was worth a note, see the lump here on my Gramps' head? but a few weeks earlier he had was butted over by a goat and went head first into a paving slab... which broke under the pressue from his head.

Awesome. My gramps' head, actually tougher than concrete.
