Quote: DRich

Yes, a home run scores all runners and the batter. I believe an automatic double is scored as a single if there are runners on second and third in the bottom of the 9th so only one run scores. I don't remember it ever happening in MLB.

runners on second and third both are considered to be in scoring position, meaning a fast runner on second base might score on many base hits. With bad throws, a runner on first can score ... yet I take it only the first to score the run that means the other team is outscored counts, any other following not ... except home runs

From baseball rulebook:

10.07f: Subject to the provisions of 10.07g, when the bater ends a game with a safe hit which drives in as many runs as are necessary to put his team in the lead, he shall be credited with only as many bases on the hit as are advanced by the runner who scores the winning run, and only then if the batter runs out as many bases as are advanced by the runner who scores the winning run.

10.07g: When the batter ends the game with a home run hit out of the playing field, he and any runners on base are entitled to score.

it's easy to imagine it would be odd for additional runners to be going 'all out' when the game is over, risking injury too, and sort of an insult to the other team, forcing them to go all out as well, for no reason. There would be fights.

OK, unicorns. How about ...

Are there werewolves in the Bible?

Are werewolves mentioned in the Bible? In a word, no. Not specifically. However, there is a great deal of imagery that, while not overtly lycanthropic in nature, melds quite nicely into the body of common knowledge concerning werewolfism

Quote: referenced link

Nebuchadnezzar ...Cursed by God for his wickedness, the mighty king goes insane, the prophet Daniel tells us, and is driven into the wilderness, where “his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like bird’s claws.”

The characteristics of a movie Werewolf [the Wolfman anyway] were created by one man, Curt Siodmak, making them de rigueur for future Wolfman movies. They include

being marked by a pentagram;
being practically immortal
being however killed by silver bullets;
spread of the condition by a bite;
lycanthropy being activated by a full moon

I was watching a YT video about phrase origins that wasn't very good, the guy who made the video guessing at times and making some of it up, I felt. So I won't link to it. For 'kick the bucket' he said something like " when they kill cows a bucket is placed under them and it might get kicked" which, though similar to a common explanation below, really bothered me as obviously 'not quite right' and I watched no more of it.

I always guessed the phrase came from milking cows, similar to the phrase 'stepped in the bucket' which btw gets the same response as if you wrote ‘kicked the bucket’ with google. But to allow your cow to step in the bucket means you’ve ruined the milk, as would allowing the cow to knock over the bucket with a kick. Ruining milk correlated then to ruining life, or dying, in my mind.

Now all the answers below would seem to suggest I was wrong. However, slightly different wording gets different response, as you can see, all brought up by “people also ask” additions. So I am going to say my original thoughts on the matter are as valid as any.

A specific dime minted in 1894, known as the 1894-S Barber Dime, is actually worth millions. The story behind the Barber Dime is fascinating.

John Daggett, superintendent of the San Francisco Mint, had 24 dimes created in 1894 that were special — he gave three each to seven of his friends, and three to his young daughter.

Although John told his daughter to save the coins until she was older, she immediately went out and bought an ice cream with one of the coins.

Today, there are nine 1894-S Barber Dimes still in existence — two of them are said to still be in circulation
