If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

Maybe at the time this list was compiled, but the St. Louis Rams won Super Bowl XXXIV on January 30, 2000. They play in the Edward Jones Dome (Formerly the Trans World Dome).
Sorry uncle phil, I love reading your posts, they are always insightful and well worded. But I just hate when false info like this gets passed around. People start believing it... like the non-echoing duck's quack.
