  On a Canadian two-dollar bill, the flag flying over the Parliament Building is an American flag. I thought that a "Canadian two-dollar" was a coin? I thought the paper money started at $5

  Almonds are members of the peach family.

  In the book, My Book of Bible Stories, Aaron's rod magically grew almonds that were NOT a member of the peach family in the original. Later versions show the picture edited.

  No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver or purple.

  Not true. Chilver is a kind of ewe lamb, curple is the hindquarters of a horse, and hirple is a verb in British English that means "to hobble". Sporange is claimed to rhyme with orange, but this is debatable (since spuh-rahnge is the claimed pronunciation).

  Numbers 17:8, badboy.

  The My Book of Bible Stories has the account in story # 39.

  I didn't know that, but it doesn't surprise me. They sometimes have an explosive effect on one of my bf's friends when he has a packet after a few beers at our local.

  My dad's offering for a rhyme with orange: doorhinge.

  And from Williard Espy:

  To find a rhyme for 'silver'
  Or any rhymeless rhyme,
  Requires only will, ver-
  bosity and time.
