2nd Post For Today:

20 Things I Bet You Did Not Know (some you probably suspected):

1) The liquid inside young coconuts can be used as a substitute for Blood plasma.

2) No piece of paper can be folded in half
more than seven (7) times.

3) Donkeys kill more people annually
than plane crashes.

4) You burn more calories sleeping
than you do watching television.

5) Oak trees do not produce acorns
until they are fifty (50) years of age or older.

6) The first product to have a bar code
was Wrigley's gum.

7) The King of Hearts is the only king
WITHOUT A MUSTACHE

8) American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one (1) olive from each salad served in first-class.

9) Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise.
(Since Venus is normally associated with women,
what does this tell you!)

10) Apples, not caffeine,
are more efficient at waking you up in the morning.

11) Most dust particles in your house are made from
DEAD SKIN!

12) The first owner of the Marlboro Company died of lung cancer. So did the first "Marlboro Man."

14) Pearls Melt In Vinegar

15) The three most valuable brand names on earth: Marlboro, Coca Cola, and Budweiser, in that order.

16) It is possible to lead a cow upstairs... yes but, not downstairs.

17) A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why.

18) Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least six (6) feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush.
(I keep my toothbrush in the living room now!)
19) Richard Millhouse Nixon
was the first U.S. president whose name contains all the letters from the word "criminal."
The second ?

Who do you know like that? Watch what you say girlie, I'm still thinking about that paddle!

Yeah, the paddle. When should I mail it to "sammy"? I see Nelly doing it again on her post.

But for once, I have to agree with her, number 20 made me smile.

Just never knew my ex wife was a turtle.

Now that I'm finished trying to fold my paper more than 7 times I can tell you what a great post this was! Some food for thought and gave me a minute to try something which I already knew couldn't be done.
