Bill The Cat
Bill the Cat, or Bill D. Cat, is a fictional cat appearing in the works of cartoonist Berkeley Breathed, beginning with the comic strip '' Bloom County'' in the 1980s and continuing in '' Outland'' and '' Opus'' in the following decades. Bill also appeared in some of Breathed's illustrated children's books, including '' A Wish for Wings That Work'', which was also made into an animated Christmas television special, and also on greeting cards and other sundry merchandise.

Bill (law)
A bill is a proposal for a new law, or a proposal to substantially alter an existing law. A bill does not become law until it has been passed by the legislature and, in most cases, approved by the executive. Bills are introduced in the legislature and are there discussed, debated on, and voted upon. Once a bill has been enacted into law by the legislature, it is called an '' act of the legislature'', or a ''statute''. Usage The word ''bill'' is mainly used in English-speaking nations formerly part of the British Empire whose legal systems originated in the common law of the United Kingdom, including the United States. The parts of a bill are known as ''clauses'', until it has become an act of parliament, from which time the parts of the law are known as ''sections''. In nations that have civil law systems (including France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain and Portugal), a proposed law is known as a "law project" (Fr. ''projet de loi'') if introduced by the government, or a " ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bill, Wyoming
Bill is an unincorporated community in Converse County, Wyoming, United States. It is included within the southern-central portion of Thunder Basin National Grassland. History The settlement is rumored to have begun shortly after World War I, when a doctor moved there. It was called "Bill" by the doctor's wife due to a number of men in the area with that name. Before long, Bill had a post office and small store selling sandwiches to truckers and a country school for children from surrounding ranches. The owner of the store even established the "Bill Yacht Club" which had no boats, no water, and no costly boating accidents but sold hats and T-shirts to tourists who felt they were in on the joke. After World War II, the town's population began to decrease and, by the 1970s, Bill was reduced to just the small store and adjacent residence. Then, in the early 1980s, the Chicago and North Western Railway, which ran past Bill, decided to develop a stop at Bill for resting and chang ...
