Off topic, I admit, but 6x8. I always forget what 6x8 is.

It's a piece of lumber that is 6" by 8", and is excellent for building wooden structures that need to hold a lot of weight. I helped my dad build a tractor bridge from those once.

Hebeas corpus, except I remembered today because Trump is talking about getting rid of it and ushering in the darkest, most unamerican timeline ever. He's doing pretty much everything the founding fathers wanted to reject.
