I learned something new today while watching "Save Our History" on The History Channel. We are all familiar with the phrase "Reading the Riot Act." Did you know it was an actual act of law? It goes back to 1714.

I am not going to post the entire act. It is somewhat lengthy. All of you are familiar with how verbose our 18th century ancestors were. So, here is the URL: http://reactor-core.org/riot-act.html
Enjoy. :-)
